    1. Recommend an Android planner that allows you to create folders within folders and that doesn't require updating?
    2. Streaks never worked for me, so I made a count-up timer that tracks hours over a rolling week with promotions and demotions
    3. Help me remove / block Pinterest (website and app) from my Samsung phone PERMANENTLY (Not F-Droid App Lock, please)
