That is a good question for people with more experience than me. This pairs weirdly well with sourdough

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. A little friction removed goes a long way

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. The social part surprised me too

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The social part surprised me too

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. It sounds small, but the playlist matters

Respectfully, I see it the other way

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. The cozy constraint is probably the real story

That last line is excellent. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. Good reminder that tools should serve people, not teh reverse

this is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I would test it for 4 days before deciding
