Here is one that calls a webpage (no-as-a-service - “https://naas.isalman.dev/no” it ), which gives you a reason for saying no to something:

Here are some examples. Every time you call it you get a different one:

  • I’m in the middle of a very delicate ‘doing nothing’ ritual.
  • The government has me in a witness protection program against events like this.
  • I’m too old for this kind of commitment to things.
  • I’ve made a vow to avoid any form of productivity.
  • I can’t; I’m attending the opening of my refrigerator.
  • It’s my pet rock’s birthday, which is basically a global holiday to me.

This is great! We made a “random no” Snippet based on @MacSparky’s talk at our Virtual Summit, but your implementation is much slicker. However, I would disagree that it’s unnecessary; it’s actually a pretty good tool to prioritize things properly.

Probably the most silly/unecessary Snippets I have is this group to control Spotify. I can’t take credit for this, they were made by our previous head of support. You can use Snippets to play and pause, skip tracks, copy album art, expand the currently playing track, and other things.
