I keep coming back to simplenote ( https://app.simplenote.com/ ) each time I try one of these "minimal markdown editors". Works on every platform I've tried, open source, and maintained. I enjoy seeing folks

Bitwarden has changed my life: it's the first password manager I can get my family to use. The commercial ones all had ads or upsells that interfered with the experience, while Bitwarden just worked. Props to this creation.

Seconded a thousand times. After I hear one and calm down, I'm always running in my head how I'll explain to the cop that I ran off the road reacting to a siren letting me know that "prices just can't get any lower!&quo

In 1995 or so, gimp was first released. Everyone loved it, but complained about usability (floating palettes, etc.). Maintainers, various devs, the crowd all said "it's open source, we can fix it". In 2019, gimp made it&#x
