This looks great if combined with versioning system. As part of git repor for example. But, for general journaling, I would not trust something that does not leverage the strengths of a filesystem.

Thanks for taking a look! There is Markdown import/export from the server, to make sure no one is locked in into the app. I find this more convenient than editing a file though, because it lets me jot down notes on the go from my phone.

Why not... hifipartpicker?

URL is too long. But this is a sister product to my newsletter: https://seekhifi.com

I am an experienced dev, who learned about all the marvelous FLOSS tooling, by randomling stumbling upon it in deep dives into Linux ecosystem.

And I have no idea how it could be even remotely possible for a youngling to discover the same things in the torrent of sloppy SaaS.

Do you know of a "hitchikers guide to the FLOSS galaxy" that could teach the ways of the elders, from the ground up?

For me, its a distraction from the corporate world. A token of my outies existence in the innie world.

A lot of tedium is added into these games to force the player into spending real money for skips & access to content. It is a valid way to incentivize customers into paying for given service, but also means there are many time wasting repetitive tasks that can ruin the experience if one does not grasp the concept of "when the game starts getting tedions, you are supposed to pay"

You're very much off the mark there. That may be true for gacha games or similar slop from the 2020s, but Runescape2/OSRS never had any sort of pay to win, or pay to skip the grind. Neither did WoW for instance.

RS2/OSRS definitely did have grind, but only grind that you sought out yourself. I don't believe there is a single quest that requires level 99 woodcutting or firemaking, you do it to earn a little token that shows that you did the grind.

There was also botting for money-making purposes. Real-world money to buy items wasn't much of a factor but obtaining resources still cost time and effort that many players (including myself) didn't particularly enjoy when you can only spend so much time on a game every week.

Botting to level up skills kind of misses the point, in my opinion. What's the point of a skill cape if you didn't do the grind yourself? Botting to earn in-game money makes a lot of sense, though: skip the grind to be able to afford armour and go straight for the interesting quests and fights.

I think RuneScape's choice to lock content behind a paywall rather than connect real money to timers/in-game items was the right one.

Can it be used to insert content from an intranet server? It would be nice to have the ability to insert ads with company content, so people slacking at work get to involunarily learn about some opportunities or company policy.

I've read your blog entries and I wish you well my friend. I hope there are better times in front of you, as journals like this, are disheartening https://lowkpro.com/blog/this-app-will-never-be-open-source....

These are fine times. Just need a little extra cash for cigars, that's all. Had two yesterday, made the money by selling Premium Snowballs in Chicago for $2 each (made $50 that day). Life is fun.

I use the Nova Launcher in exact same way as you. I've checked many alternatives and none are as polished as Nova.

I bet you are running some personal server or tinkering VM. Why not use a dedicated, coherent tool like Immich to manage all your image organisation needs? I don't see how this renaming would help me in any way, to make use of old screenshots left in random places.

Maybe instead of shooting people down in “What are you working on” threads (I see you have priors), you can instead share something cool that you’re working on.

I've opened this demo, on a flagship phone from 5 years ago. And this phone almost spewed its guts out trying to render it.

Why is react still considered a viable tech?
