Achieving Goals with Focus and Simplicity

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be challenging to stay focused on our goals. Distractions are everywhere, and it’s easy to lose sight of what we’re aiming for. Enter WeeklyGoal.App, is a unique tool designed to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.

This is the first of many “apps” I’m planning to launch this year.

A Single Goal Per Week

WeeklyGoal.App is built around a simple yet powerful concept: focusing on a single goal per week. By narrowing your focus to one goal, you can channel your energy and efforts more effectively. This approach can lead to better results and a greater sense of accomplishment.

Empowering You via WhatsApp

One of the standout features of WeeklyGoal.App is its integration with WhatsApp. Instead of downloading and managing yet another app, you can use WhatsApp to interact with WeeklyGoal.App. This integration makes it easy to set and track your goals without adding to your digital clutter.

GitHub’s New ‘Copilot’ Feature Is A Game-Changer If You’re a Developer

You’ve probably heard about Github Copilot by now. Github Copilot is an AI-driven pair programmer who can help write code more efficiently and faster. Here’s a quick review of Copilot.

How to install Copilot?

If you’re using VSCode, then installation is pretty simple as it can just be installed as an extension.

Once installed, you want to make sure you have either an active trial or a subscription. You can manage your subscription from https://github.com/features/copilot

How does it work?

Using Copilot is simple. As you start writing code in either Go/NodeJS/Typescript or Python, it will give you small previews of code snippets. You can even get full functions written by AI. All you need to do is add a comment explaining what this next block of code is supposed to do.

Smart Home Hub Choices

Smart lights are everywhere and come in all colors and price ranges. You can get the cheapest smart light bulbs for under $10 a piece. For many people, smart lights are often the first touchpoint with the smart home category. For the majority of folks buying a few Philips Hue lights and controlling them via the Hue app is sufficient.

However, if you want to go past smart lights and look at motion sensors, multipurpose sensors, water leak sensors, smart thermostats or security cameras, you’ll quickly find yourself installing 3+ apps on your phone in order to control everything. Even with all the apps installed, you’ll likely have some products which don’t properly integrate.

Why should you care about integrations?
If your devices are not integrated, you won’t be able to have your motion sensor turn on a light and also have the security camera start a recoding. Or , have a water leak sensor trigger a notification to your phone and also play a sounds on all your speakers in your home to notify you.

Choosing the right Voice Assistant

Over the past several months, I got more interested in smart homes and home automation in general. I like the idea of triggering automations, schedules or scenes based on voice commands or with my iPhone.

Most of us use an Amazon Echo or a Google Assistant/Home device to dip our feet into the smart home space. To be honest Amazon and Google make it very easy for one to get started. However, as you start using the products, you’ll find the notable differences. Amazon Echo works fantastic across all devices, whereas Google Home is amazing for Android users. iOS devices had its fair share of limitations when working with the Google eco-system.
