VS Code uses my operating system’s default browser by default. But I want to override this setting as I am using Safari for General purpose and brave for other stuff.

I only realized today that I can override this. So here are the steps to do the same.

• Press Cmd + , to open Settings.
• Search for “External Browser”.
• Under Workbench > External: Browser, type a browser name like firefox, brave or enter the absolute path to the application (e.g., /Applications/Brave Browser.app).

Today, I realized that in GoDaddy, up to 500 subdomains are allowed under a standard domain, and 1,500 under a premium domain.

So I hosted my Life Left app under the subdomain lifeleft.binovarghese.com.

Here’s how I did it:

• Deployed the project on Netlify.
• Created the domain under Product domains in Domain management in the Netlify dashboard.
• Added this subdomain in GoDaddy under DNS.
• Added the record type as CNAME and the data as the Netlify site’s default subdomain (e.g., your-site-name.netlify.app).

That’s it, your project will be live after some time.

The most frictionless tool I have ever seen is a piece of paper and pen.

It’s simple and easy enough to not think about anything else related to it. I don’t need to think about how I can use that, as my brain knows how to use it like I know how to eat. There are no disruptions like new interfaces where the button position has been changed, or performance glitches due to useless features. It’s just a tool that easily becomes part of your body, and you can start working immediately. Eventually it will disappear from your mind when you are using it. That’s how it becomes a perfect tool.
