Tired but also pleased with myself. Those Gherkin files are real handy for describing features and building browser tests, but I couldn’t think of how to share with coworkers that don’t live in text files.

So I tried Pickles and now they have a navigable Word version of the descriptions.

Today’s hyperfocus target: Excel.

Makes sense that eventually I’d figure out the parts of Notion I use are just spreadsheets wrapped up pretty.

I don’t expect to be an Excel person any time soon. I prefer databases.

But all my coworkers passing all these spreadsheets around asking questions that could be answered by using just a couple features of the app — it just got to be too much for me.
