I often open a document again and again until my work is done. I was happy being able to access my recent documents while I was using Windows and I looked for this feature on Gnome too. It is not there by default, but luckily we can have it with an extension.
Iโm a US-based software engineer with a background in law. I share mostly practical tech notes here for my future self and anyone who finds them useful.
One of the things Iโve built is Masterlist: Focus & Tasks, a privacy-focused, local-storage-only task manager that offers focus tracking tied to tasks and projects, compatible with the Pomodoro technique.
