So I got to meet the boys yesterday! They were absolutely lovely and I just love how they genuinely want to make you feel special and loved! I would’ve never thought that I could have the chance to have an actual conversation with these lads but hey, dreams do come true! Also Zach’s reaction to my gift was absolutely adorable😂❤️ They also performed at this little club and even tho it was just a showcase gig, it was still an awesome performance! I can’t wait to see them again in Finland💙🇫🇮

Weeklypedia service resumes tomorrow (+ a bit of news)

Hello Hatnote/Weeklypedia fans!

Current subscribers might have noticed the curiously repetitive content the last couple weeks. Turns out the official MediaWiki instances that we use to pull recent changes got upgraded, and broke our queries. That's all fixed now! so fresh Weeklypedia will be in your inbox tomorrow.

In the meantime, we figured it's worth mentioning that we missed this change due to the launch of another project: FinFam - The Collaborative Financial Planning Platform.

While not an official Hatnote project it's very much wiki-adjacent. Imagine a wiki of interactive, explorable explanations, defined in spreadsheets, which are also open-source. We call them Views. If you have something quantitative, especially financial, but don't feel like firing up your HTML/JS/CSS skills, FinFam makes it so you can do it all from Excel / Google Sheets. See a demo on the about page.

So far we've got Views for:

Deciding between renting and buying a house

How much it costs to have/raise a baby in the SF Bay Area

How much to pay yourself as a startup founder, and even:

How long you're likely to live

And at least a dozen more

If you're a fellow wiki fan, I'd love if you checked it out and shared your feedback. Looking forward to seeing you around!
