DESIGN TIP: stop thinking about Jony Ive and start imagining what The Fonz would nod approvingly at

[trying to make light conversation] so are you “go to bed early so today ends sooner” depressed or “stay up late to keep tomorrow from happening” depressed
cool cool, right on. so when you self-isolate is it more to protect you from people, or people from you

What are your favorite apps/workflows that can do the following:
- Automatically or easily create notes from calendar events
- Bubble up per-note tasks into an aggregated tasks view
- Fairly decent note-taking
- Cross-platform
Also, a note that Dropbox Paper does all this, and does it fairly well! But also, I feel hesitant to lean on it, as it's languished in recent years and it makes me wonder if its time on earth is limited.
after realizing that Evernote, against all expectation and sense, does not do first-party integration with Google Calendar, feeling this especially hard rn

I’m quite sure that planning an entire multi-device music production workflow around avoiding the need for an audio interface is impressive, I’m just not sure if it’s the kind of impressive where you somehow fall down a flight stairs while simultaneously lighting yourself on fire
iPad Air 4 + Dongles
Organelle M (USB Host, MIDI)
Roland HandSonic 15 (USB, MIDI)
Adapters:
USB MIDI Host <-> Host
MIDI -> USB
1/4” audio -> USB
Powered USB hub

I should be able to chain all the MIDI devices together, play thru the Org, send to MBP, or use iPad as a mixer/DAW
Oh and a Launchkey Mini mk3 for playing any of the above devices on a traditional keyboard

@theavalkyrie oh gosh. oh geez
@theavalkyrie Utopian/Dystopian by Sudtipos. Especially the former, which I modified for the @PostTechRadio logo.
@theavalkyrie @PostTechRadio Gotham has obviously been around forever, but there's something just so... special about it, especially at its Ultra weight. Proxima Nova gets close, but can't quite replace it.

At this point I'm confident that I've tried every email app currently available for Mac and all I can say is.... it's sad out there
What I want:
- Font customization for inbox and writing
- Domain avatars
- Single-line inbox with right reading pane
- Minimal shenanigans

Apps with all of those: 0
@airmailer is sooo close. But their message list uses an entirely custom scrolling physics engine that feels awful and they won't budge on it.
Mail.app lets you customize almost everything, but makes no effort to import domain avatars (or show them in column view)
