Yes, I have been using it for more than 10 yrs. Search, cross linking and tagging are the key features IMO. The file is 5.6 Mb and it's still very fast. I have to run a ruby server [1] for the saving to work which is a bit annoying but

It's not ignored. From NASA: "The amount of solar energy Earth receives has followed the Sun’s natural 11-year cycle of small ups and downs, with no net increase since the 1950s. Over the same period, global temperature has risen

I blame COVID, but our neighbors started doing low-key happy hours about once a month and these have been wonderful. We've also started meeting people for pizza at restaurants again and that has been similarly great. So I'd like t
