I did the UI/UX for Memmy which you can find at memmy@lemmy.ml
How can someone put this up on a wall without noticing that Greenland has been annexed by Canada, Texas has annexed Canada and the Mediterranean has moved to India.
Well, we’ve found it. Literally everything is wrong with this house in every possible way.
I actually went to go and hunt down the sound and it turns out that I sent it to a friend. I mentioned that the last part sounded like a tyre screeching but they believed it was too consistent to be a tyre screeching. A few others that I asked had the same opinion of that. One thing that I can think of that has a very consistent screeching noise from a long distance is probably a train slamming on its brakes? Although it came from a direction where there isn’t any trains running at that time.

I haven’t had anything creepy happen to me personally that I can recall, but I do have something that did terrify me for a bit.
This was around a year ago but I was in the bathroom washing my hands after using the bathroom, this was very late at night, about 2:00am. That’s when I heard some sort of noise that caught my interest. I was wearing noise-cancelling headphones so I was surprised that I heard this. I took them off and heard nothing afterwards, so I just chalked it up to my mind playing tricks and went back to my bedroom.
However, the sound did sit with me. It’s one of those sounds that is engraved in your intuition. So I went to check the camera footage around the time that I heard the sound. I went back a couple of minutes and played back the footage, waiting to hear anything. After going through a few minutes, I was ready to give up on it, since it was just wind noise and distant traffic. That’s when I heard this absolutely most long horrific blood curdling scream that I have ever heard in my life. It sounded like a woman and it genuinely made me freeze for a good few seconds.
I was in absolute shock and didn’t know what to do about it. I sent it to the local police station and they said they’ll investigate to see if anything came up around that time. I checked the news for a few days after in the local area and nothing about a murder or domestic violence incident came up. This area is usually pretty safe, so it was definitely a shock.
I was exited for it and then I saw Ubisoft. sigh…
So now I can summarise the game for you
I’m absolutely horrific with organisation, but I found a few ways of managing things. I never really managed to grasp notifications, eventually they just became an auto-ignore for my brain. What worked more for me was having hints of what I need to do in places that I would naturally look throughout my day.
For instance, with my iPhone, I use dynamic island to keep my current task in a persistent way. It’s not forceful and it doesn’t interrupt what I’m currently doing. I’ve also got a large widget on my home screen which shows me some things like weather, date, reminders and calendar events. I see it a few times and eventually I usually manage to enact on it. I unlock my iPhone more than 100+ times per day, so that’s 100 potential opportunities to see it and enact on it.
As for filling it with tasks, I usually do that just before I’m about to go to bed. Once I plug my phone in, I have shortcuts give me a notification that reminds me to fill out the tasks for tomorrow. This isn’t bulletproof of course, but it helps to try and make it habit somewhat.
Despite the deficiencies, we’re still brains of habit, so trying to make that habitual does help. It does help that it’s a task that doesn’t change.
It looks good in the marketing (it always does) but we should all remember that it’s Bethesda making this. Then again, I can’t even name a developer that I would say “hell yeah, this is gonna be awesome!” at this point. The very sad state of the industry.
Hi there o/ Glad to hear that you’re enjoying the app! (especially the UI :P)
This is definitely something that has been considered and will likely be implemented soon. We didn’t actually know about it until a few users told us about it on our Discord server.
Also quick note, you don’t need to tap the top, you can just swipe from the far left side at any point.
Give us a shout if you have any other suggestions or concerns surrounding the app. We may not reply to all of them, but we definitely read them.
