👋 I'm Joe. I strive to build productivity systems that stand the test of time and help me do more than check boxes. I'm here to help you do the same.
🎙 I read a lot of books and talk about it.
🐿 I can't focus on one thing for long, so I write a lot of code for an eclectic grouping of projects.
📓 And I'm a bit obsessed with finding non-proprietary solutions to digital problems. Thus, text files for the win! 🎉

Growing up on a farm and having used a LOT of trucks over the last two decades, this thing makes no sense. All the ways you use a truck as a truck are made difficult. It’s a city/highway truck through and through. https://twitter.com/joshuaginter/status/1197927078680842246

We’re getting closer to the point where all of my scripts can be ported to iOS. Still need the ability to edit existing tasks and projects, but being able to select or find existing tasks via Shortcuts is a big step. https://twitter.com/kcase/status/1197638012500242432
We've pressed the "release" button on OmniFocus 3.4 for iOS, built for iOS/iPadOS 13 with native Dark Mode, shortcuts, and multi-window support!
(Let me know if you see it in the your local App Store! I'm still waiting for it to show up in mine.)

Some Great 16-inch MacBook Pro First Impression Posts - The Newsprint by @joshuaginter
There has been a ton of fanfare and coverage of today’s relatively minor upgrade — at least in terms of “major upgrades” — for the MacBook Pro. There’s a slightly...

I’ve been using the @brave browser for almost a year and love it. Super excited to see an iOS version now available! https://joebuhlig.com/brave-browser-goes-ios/
My main web browser of choice for almost a year now has been Brave. I love it because it takes the guts of Chrome and puts a privacy layer on top of it. It strips all the tracking and blocks ads out of the box. But you don't have to sacrifice the great rendering and developer tools in Chrome to do it.
