Wondering why Phind is not more commonly considered, integration with VS Code is stellar, and the quality is pretty good.

My biggest gripes are mostly Atlassian's fault, in that their products seem to take AGES to load (wasting my time) while also providing a UX that seems designed to force as many page loads as possible (wasting even MORE of my time). Th

Also forgot to mention if it wasn't obvious - I'm not a STEM researcher and don't have aspirations to use a notes app beyond notes, but I am curious about efficiency, simplicity and workflow.

Longtime Joplin [1] user here, how does the most recent version of Zettlr compare? I have grown really comfortable with the simple interface of Joplin, plus using S3 for sync makes life easy for me as I'm living on my own infrastructur

From the study: "In terms of cost, we estimate that – during over 13 years of its deployment – 819 million hours of human time has been spent on reCAPTCHA, which corresponds to at least $6.1 billion USD in wages. Traffic resulting from

Not only that, but adding insult to injury - the whole captcha process is being abused by Google for their surveillance capitalism. Just load a captcha-blocked page in a fresh browser with no google accounts every being used - you got like

Why? Do they mandate process or procedure policies that kill productive organizations, or what? I'm genuinely curious.

Small startup with brand new team, no devops/infrastructure/security. Most engineers are mid-level and not really strong on infrastructure, they are hired to build features and backend. In this environment something like Porter Cl

I feel your frustration, it should either be free or not-free. Stop pretending to be both, while ending up being neither! Maybe we can start to refer to these types of projects as GOSS (Gated Open Source Software) or maybe COSS (Crippled Op

Wouldn't the exact opposite focus have a better effect? Going after the "evil corporations" would mean nobody was collecting the data in the first place, which would also take away the "evil government" as they have

I was there when Scully "took over", and can tell you from firsthand experience that Steve Jobs was the young, rebellious entrepreneur whose startup had grown far beyond his experience (or interest at the time). Scully may have be

Disappointed to find a puff-piece on typescript. Dishonest headline. Javascript frustrates me just as much as the grumpy old man in the article. That said, I once sat down and asked myself, "self, why was it okay to live through the ph

Gotta give them credit for at least having a public pricing page though. That is something I will NEVER understand, some companies somehow think that making this information a PITA to access somehow helps their business?

Longtime joplin user here - been using s3 sync storage since it was available. As long as it is open and free, that will be my note app of choice. Yeah the mobile app definitely needs work, and there's always room for improvement overa

I remember when Mongo was first coming out: People would install it, then shove a third normal form schema in it and then complain loudly that it didn't support transactions, foreign constraints or other RDBMS-specific stuff. Like cold

That is not a strict understanding of that term though! That is just an anecdotal opinion. Open-core is where part of the codebase is open, while another part is not. Plain and simple. And that is not the same as Open Source, which is absol

Joplin stores files as separate markdown files, and the database is just an index for search and metadata. I'm not a huge fan of Joplin's UX, but not having to pay for sync (and being able to choose the backend for sync) is import

This is precisely why I ended up on Joplin several years ago... Being able to sync for free (I just pay for S3 costs) means I got cross-device/platform support and know I will never lose my notes. I'm trying to understand the use

I see this as "Joplin, just not nearly as free (speech or beer)." Why would I pay monthly for sync and have no control, when I can already sync to my own s3 buckets and only pay for AWS storage and transfer? Is there a compelling

Amen, but forget about external influence - if you work in a business that is profitable, you're certain to bump into coworkers outside of technologies that live in a pure deadline-driven world. That's business, and it is not nego
