Thank you all so much, noting these down to check and compare to the one we're eyeing

Asana at work; it's great, and you can easily go back and check what you did and when. And in my personal life, pen and paper. I don't see this changing anytime soon.

 

We’re a small consulting team of five, and it’s been a challenge keeping everything organized as we’ve grown. We used spreadsheets to track leads and follow-ups, which was fine when things were slower. But once we started getting more inquiries, it quickly got out of hand. We have notes in too many places, and it's a mess. Some emails slipped through the cracks because no one saw them in time. A few solid leads went cold just because we didn’t follow up when we should have.

Now we are looking for a CRM that is simple to use, affordable, and a good fit for a small team. What we really want is something that lets us keep an eye on every lead. It would be great to be able to see which leads are slowing down, tag and filter them, and quickly figure out who on the team has time to reach out. It should also show enough detail on each contact so we can make a thoughtful offer, and work with tools we already use like Google apps and Asana. So far, Pipeline CRM looks like it could work well for us. Has anyone here used it? I would love to hear your experience or other suggestions outside the big names.

Sorry, I can't really help you, I just wanted to say congratulations! The place looks really cool. It's a very specific question, so perhaps there are some weddings/California-related communities where more people could pitch in. I mean, of course, it doesn't hurt to ask, you never know. Either way, cheers and congratulations one more time! 🥂

We consume less by doing more. Say, we watch less YouTube about what we want to do and start doing more of what it is we want to do.

This. Exactly this. I mean, it seems so easy, but I can't say it actually is. Are we really so unmotivated to start doing more? I should speak for myself, so am I really so unmotivated or whatever that this is so difficult for me?

Thank you for sharing this list, it's awesome! I see a couple of good options for me.

It was bound to happen. When the pressure became too great, it backfired and had the opposite effect. I mean, I call it pressure, but of course, you can always refuse to tip. I read last year about how tipping culture in America changed. The question "Does everything require a tip?" kept popping up, and I really think all that led to where we are now.

I had no idea either. And I like to think I read as often as I have a chance.

Learn the language as soon as possible, at least basic level. Bureaucracy is going to be hell, there's no nicer way to put it. But I think you'll enjoy living in Italy. You are not happy where you are now, so it's great you're doing something about it. Best of luck!

Wish I could help with the strategy. I don't deal with this in any way, I genuinely don't care if someone likes me or not. I actually don't think about it. I understand this can be a problem and mess with one's confidence in a situation like yours, but the numbers speak for themselves - you are in a good place.

 

Taking accurate screenshots with Puppeteer has been a real pain, especially with pages that don’t fully load when the standard waitUntil: load fires. A real pain. Some sites, particularly SPAs built with Angular, React, or Vue, end up half-loaded, leaving me with screenshots where parts of the page are just blank. Peachy, just peachy.

I've had the same issue with waitUntil: domcontentloaded, but that one was kind of expected. The problem is that the page load event fires too early, and for pages relying on JavaScript to load images or other resources, this means the screenshot captures a half-baked page. Useless, obviously.

After some digging accompanied by a certain type of language (the beep type), I did find a few workarounds. For example, you can use Puppeteer to wait for specific DOM elements to appear or disappear. Another approach is to wait for the network to be idle for a certain time. But what really helped was finding a custom function that waits for the DOM updates to settle (source). It’s the closest to a solution for getting fully loaded screenshots across different types of websites, at least from what I was able to find. Hope it will help anyone who struggles with this issue.

I haven't heard about mitochondria in so many years (obviously. why would I?) and I can't explain why it feels so good reading this now.

I wasn't aware of this, when did it start? So far, it has never happened to me not to be able to view reddit threads

I use the ChatGPT Google Sheets extension pretty much every day to create tables, charts, and all kinds of lists for various clients and projects. The results are excellent, and it saves me a significant amount of time.
