I sometimes get asked how i deal with the pressure of goblin tools, and usually it's something i can kind of ignore. but once in a while, like right now, i have a glass of wine and i sit and the scale of it kind of seeps in. I don't talk about it much, but GT has a userbase measured in millions.

Well that took absolutely no time

There have always been some features I've wanted to provide in Goblin Tools, but that I had never been able to. A proper on-server todo list, templates, history, shareable lists, that kind of stuff. I resisted because they require a subscription cost to be manageable. Well... I stopped resisting.

Not only are the copycats still going, they're proudly posting on Reddit about it now. I'm too old for this

I'm already expanding the value of subs. Starting with the Formalizer, which now has a few new bits to it: Favourites: quick pick your preferred tones Custom tones: add any you think are missing My voice: give a few samples, it'll write to sound like you Compare: see multiple options side by side.

I'm still twiddling with some of the registration flow and the tech, so if you run into any trouble, do let me know! On here, DM, help@goblin.tools, any way you see fit. It works on my machine, but who knows if it works on yours :D

Pushed huge upgrade to goblin.tools Should help with stability, and it adds a few things people have asked for since... forever. Multiple todo lists! Deadlines! A prioritisation button! And a new tool! Go give it a shot, it might help make todos less overwhelming.

Goblin Tools has just had a big update, fixing a lot of bugs with translations and ToDo lists. If you had sync issues, or unde/redo, or performance problems, hopefully they're all solved now! You might need to close and re-open the app to load it. If any of you still run into issues, let me know?

By popular request: Goblin Tools has a ko-fi now! ko-fi.com/goblintools Goblin Tools isn't at risk but it is getting a bit tighter around the waistline. Serving 2 million people every month is an awesome impact to have, but it does give one cold sweats from time to time :D

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

I had a few more gremlins to work out of this, if you had trouble switching languages, sorry about that! On the plus side, the site is now quicker to navigate. Quick as hell. And that will help the apps too!

Easily the most requested feature ever on Goblin Tools, and i finally decided to stop dragging my feet on it. Internationalisation is here! From now on, you can use it in your own native language, completely. Do you see a mistake? Need an extra language? let me know!

Fantastic to see that even big companies like Grammarly are stooping to copying functionality either already present in Goblin Tools, or stuff we're working on with Teacher Tools. And doing it _badly_.

new chatbot? call it an agent. new software feature? sure, yes, agent. Old feature that's been there for years? It can be an agent if it wants to be, and how dare you suggest otherwise nymag.com/intelligence...

Hey @hankgreen.bsky.social Love Focus Friend, what a fantastic idea! I run Goblin Tools, the Other Big ADHD app. Not quite biggest in the world but top 10 paid apps several years running now. Maybe we should have a chat and see if we can help each other?

For the #Dotnet crowd, because i wasn't going to spend hours getting this fine tuned only to not share it: github.com/Arcology-pub... Do you have a bunch of nuget packages but don't want a repo for each, AND don't want a single line change to version up all of them? Got it covered.

Has something changed about Google results? I swear i am getting absolute garbage results the last few days, even for things i'd expect it to do fine at before. It's like none of them are even halfway relevant anymore.

We put out a major update to Teacher Tools (tchr.tools) today, and I couldn't be more proud of the quality of the results and how far the tools have come already. We've also been hard at work making the site work natively in a ton of languages, and so many Quality of Life upgrades I've lost count.

Took a little break from writing Teacher Tools (tchr.tools) to update Goblin Tools (goblin.tools). It was about time it had a little homepage refresh, it just didn't look appealing or nice anymore!

And now it's official, took 10 days to reach milestone #1! On to #2, then 3, and then... the moon? I guess?

We launched Teacher Tools (tchr.tools) just over a week ago, and nearly a thousand of you (!!) have already signed up. We're stunned, but the work is only just beginning. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go! And if you have, we’d love to know what you think so far.
