There’s a well-known Louis Pasteur quote that I always liked:

“Chance favors the prepared mind”


Also "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity" - Seneca



I'm a big fan of Tiller [1], which is a paid service that basically just connects Yodlee to Google Docs or Excel. It will dump all your transactions and balance info into a spreadsheet and you can do what you want with it. It also has lots of templates for things like budgeting etc. I run a daily cron job that loads the transaction data and produces a nice Jupyter-based report. It will require some custom building, but the API plumbing is done for you.

One thing I miss from Google is relatively seamless integration with maps. Sometimes the address queries just fail for me on Kagi. And even when they don’t, Google’s maps are still far more useful IMO.


!gm is one of my most frequently used bangs on kagi


Why do you use bangs and not keywords in the address bar? It's so much faster, no need to go to kagi first...

I have 10-20 keywords set up in Firefox for example. It works in chrome too.

But maybe I'm missing some use case for kagi bangs...


The real killer for me has been the fact that the keywords or bangs aren’t tied to a single platform/browser. I set them up once and they are available on my iPhone & iPad & 4 different browsers on the mac. Add this the fact that if you set Kagi as the search engine, you can perform all of these from the address bar already.


Aaaah, now it's clicking. This is indeed really cool.


I run into this sometimes, but there's nothing stopping me from !gmaps until I'm happier with kagi map results.


In Israel they produce single-serving chocolate milk bags, which now mainly serve as a fond dose of nostalgia for me.

I'm instantly transported to my childhood at the mere mention of shoco!


I’ve found Citymapper to give far more realistic routes and commute times on the NYC subway.


How does this compare with Concertmaster? It's basically a skin on top of Spotify for browsing classical music. It's free and pretty good. (There's also an app.) And I believe there is a version for Apple Music already?

Hadn't heard of Primephonic, but I have been using Concertmaster.app as a classical music-focused "skin" for Spotify and it's pretty good (and free!).


For Apple Music there is https://concertino.app/.


Thanks! This looks great and seems to be a solution to the metadata problem as described above. I’ll enjoy structuring my listening a bit with this.


This looks promising, but seems to be broken in Firefox?


This is fantastic! Thanks for the tip


I would love to see how this was implemented. Is this on GitHub or equivalent somewhere?


Sorry, it's not open sourced (at least yet), but I was using React and Mapbox to implement it.

You can see an example in pure javascript here:

And how to build a similar app here:
