Read HN post this morning detailing all the surveillance in Seattle. This begs a broader question: are certain areas in the U.S. freer of surveillance than others. Cottages by lakes (less surveillance coming from the water), college towns, big cities but don't drive, small towns, Upper Peninsula Michigan, middle of farmland, next to the Amish? Any practical ideas.

Got this email overnight from OpenAI:

We’re updating our Privacy Policy to include information about ads in ChatGPT, including how they work and how you can control your experience.

Ads may appear on Free and Go plans. Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business and Education plans do not have ads. Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you. When you see an ad, they are always clearly labeled as sponsored and visually separated from the organic answer. We’ll ask you to make a choice about personalised ads when they launch, and you can manage ad personalisation anytime in settings. If you choose personalised ads, you’ll get relevant ads using information that stays only on ChatGPT, such as ads you've interacted with, or context from your chats.

Your personal details and conversations with ChatGPT are private and are not shared with advertisers. Advertisers do not have access to your chats, chat history, memories, or personal details. Advertisers only receive overall information about how their ads perform, such as total views or clicks.

Learn more about ads in ChatGPT and our privacy controls, including how we protect your data.

Thanks, The OpenAI Team

Hello HN!

I wanted to show you the project management app that I've been building for the past 2 years: Milestones! It's completely native and works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

It doesn't need an account, it's local-first, with optional iCloud Sync that can be turned on in settings. iCloud Sync means that your data can be synced but still stays private, as it syncs to your own iCloud account. Additionally, analytics and crash reports are opt-in and you're asked before any data is sent to any analytics server.

I built this app for myself, since I am handling multiple projects constantly, but wanted a way to manage them without having to use bloated, complex tools, plus I needed a way to divide tasks into "phases" or milestones (e.g. App versions).

It's free to download and has a generous free-tier, the pro version comes with a monthly, yearly or lifetime option and is mainly for power-users. I also just released an MCP Server for the Mac version.

I'd love for you all to try it and tell me what you think, I'm very open to feedback, critics, and suggestions!

You can get it on the [iOS App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/project-planner-milestones/id6...), and the [Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/project-planner-milestones/id6...), or you can take a look at the [website](https://getmilestones.app/) first (though to be honest some of the screenshots and info on the website are already outdated)

P.S., because I got these comments before, I promise you that LLMs were really bad at SwiftUI and SwiftData in 2024, so most of the application is actually written by me. I only started using LLMs for this app recently, but still code a lot of it myself, especially when it goes into details :)
