Notion has become one of the most popular tools for managing notes, tasks, and projects in a single workspace. Whether you’re organizing personal plans or collaborating with a team, you can open your work on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and the web. With so many supported platforms, one question comes up quickly: does Notion sync across devices? In this guide, I’ll explain how syncing works, how it behaves offline, and what to do when something doesn’t update. ...

Notion doesn’t include a built-in weather widget, but you can easily add one using a free online tool called Indify. It lets you create a customizable weather widget that displays the forecast for your chosen location directly on your Notion page. If you’ve seen weather widgets in other Notion templates and wondered how to add one to your own workspace, this guide is for you. I’ll walk you through the entire process, from creating and customizing your widget in Indify to embedding it in Notion. ...

When I started my blog, I wanted a simple way to understand how people were finding and reading my posts. Where were my visitors coming from? Was anyone even visiting at all? I didn’t need anything complicated, just a way to see how my blog was doing. For that, I needed an analytics tool. Google Analytics is a popular choice, but there are reasons I didn’t want to use it. It loads additional JavaScript, which can affect page performance, and it collects data about website visitors. Depending on how it’s configured and which visitors you track, it can also create privacy and consent requirements, particularly for visitors from the EU. ...

I recently built my blog with Hugo and chose the PaperMod theme. It works well out of the box, but I’ve made a few tweaks to make it my own, such as replacing the “Search” menu text with an icon. Another thing I’ve tweaked is the font. By default, PaperMod uses the system font stack, which is a smart choice for website speed. The browser doesn’t need to make any external requests; it simply uses the fonts already available on your device. ...

If you don’t like the default “Search” text in your menu, you can replace it with an icon, just as many modern blogs do. You don’t need to edit any theme files; a small change to your site configuration is all it takes. Open hugo.yaml (or hugo.toml) and add a search entry to your main menu. hugo.yaml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 menu: main: - identifier: search name: "" title: Search # keeps a tooltip and screen-reader label url: /search/ weight: 40 pre: '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" aria-hidden="true"><circle cx="11" cy="11" r="8"/><line x1="21" y1="21" x2="16.65" y2="16.65"/></svg>' hugo.toml ...

Update (October 27, 2026): The bug is still present in iOS 27.2. I’ve added a temporary workaround at the end of this post. After updating my iPhone 17 to iOS 27.0.1, I noticed a frustrating bug that is ruining the incoming call experience, and it seems like hardly anyone is talking about it. When my iPhone is connected to earphones, wired or wireless, and I’m playing music, or watching YouTube, an incoming call doesn’t show the usual call banner right away. Instead, the Dynamic Island shows the “Ringer” volume indicator, with no option to answer the call for a few seconds. ...

After a lot of thinking and contemplation, I’ve finally put this blog together. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted a personal blog where I could share my thoughts and ideas with the world. But I never found the courage. Every time I considered it, the same doubts stopped me. Who would read my blog? Who even reads blogs in the age of AI and short-form content, when people can get so much in so little time? Who has the time or interest for someone who is neither famous nor writing anything important? ...
