Wireless Monitor Setups
One of the pain points of using multiple monitors on the go is wires. I want to go fully wireless at some point, but for now, I use wireless occasionally, especially when traveling.

I missed my multi-monitor setup while traveling or working from a third-party office. I missed my second monitor, which I mainly use for reading, as reading is more than 50% of my job. Traditionally, monitors have been bulky and difficult to travel with, but not anymore.
A significant part of working from Home/Remote is calls or meetings with your team. Whether through good old telephone, hangouts, or any million available services, the quality of the call depends on how good your microphones are. I have been making significant investments to improve that part of the meetings.
I have recommended KoboToolbox (and KoboCollect) for nonprofits, and we also use it at DataMeet to collect all kinds of data, including IDVC.

I wanted to convert the script from the blog post Who is mapping Surveillance in Bengaluru into a simple web app. I could have written a simple javascript and HTML code to call the overpass-turbo API for data and charted using javascript. All in the browser. But there was a much better option with less code.
I have been moving to Bruno from Insomnia App in the last few weeks. I loved Insomnia. I have introduced it to so many folks. In recent times, though, it has become very cloud-oriented. In my last update, I thought I lost all the data. I had to downgrade to get it. That was it.
