Huh, I had no idea that was the case. How does what3words make money exactly? I assume ads but I block those everywhere I use a screen.

Are there any services that do roughly the same thing but are open source?

The what3words app is awesome and lets you share any 10-foot square on the planet and save them into lists.

It's not on F-Droid, but I use BlipBlip for this exact thing. It's an old app sadly, but still works on Android 14. There's a ton of customization options which you might find useful.

I came here to say exactly this. My favorite games for 5+ players are Codenames and Sushi Go Party Edition.

There are some really great answers here already that I think are perfect starting points for you. I'll offer a bit of what I know because everyone's experience is different.

I don't have ADHD, but my girlfriend does. She uses Trello to keep track of her school work like assignments, due dates, class information, important links, etc. She also uses Obsidian for her research notes. Between those two and her calendar, she manages to stay pretty organized as long as she looks at them regularly. As another commenter said, having an app on your phone for quick reminders is probably a good idea too.

As for me, I like Obsidian and use two vaults for different purposes. One is for my roleplaying game notes to plan for running games of D&D and others. To organize it I use the Johnny Decimal system because it's good at separating different projects within one space. I can look at the folder number any time I search or link a note and immediately know if I've got the right version of a monster or the right NPC called "Alice" for example.

My other vault is my general knowledge base for all other notes. I recently came across the work of Nick Milo and have adopted his ACE method with some tweaks to tailor it better for how I think and work. It's a well thought out system and I am starting to see the benefits more and more.

I hope you find the systems and methods that work for you even if Obsidian doesn't become part of your workflow!

My parents got me my first video game when I was 3 years old called Ready for Math with Pooh. I still remember some of the games!

It uses hardly any in my experience! My Weather Channel widget uses more just from refreshing in the background.

I was just watching a couple friends of mine stream Remnant 2 earlier and it does look pretty slick. It seems there is at least one puzzle that requires co-op to fully solve, and there may be more further in just so you and others are aware.

Hey, folks! I'm yet another Reddit leaver looking for a new home on the Internet. I initially wasn't aware of SDF until I was browsing possible Lemmy instances to join and saw that this one had lots of tech-related communities. I thought it was a good vibe since that's what I'm interested in as a photographer and gamer, but I had to know what SDF was, so down the rabbit hole I went.

I'm not a programmer or coder and don't think I could have the patience for it, but this whole thing is fascinating and makes me want to SSH in to SDF! I've already ditched Windows for Linux on my home machine, so luckily I won't be starting from scratch with a terminal. If anyone wants to provide tips or a resource, I'm all ears.

Three cheers for the fediverse!
