I had team members outside of the US, hopefully my next job is better, but with all the outsourcing these days, I have little hope of even landing a job,let alone one where everyone I need to work with is local

cross time zone teams means my pointless standup meetings are either set at sharp 9 am or even earlier, fucking bullshit.

There is, it’s waking up early thinking you’re late to work / school only to realize you’ve woken early and today is your day off

Yeah my past experiences with React Native was finicky as well, but that was a few years ago, haven’t tried anything in Flutter yet, but I see your point. I thought Matrix was just a distributed chat protocol, I’ll look into it more regarding synapse

Regarding multi platform targeting, have you considered something like React Native or Flutter, one code base that can run on any platform might be useful at least for the MVP stage.

Also the reason I mentioned exporting is that I’ve had to deal with a bunch of notes apps in the past where the company behind it shuts down or gets sold and then you either have to figure out how to export all those notes or risk losing them and that’s why I mostly use Obsidian on the desktop now cause even if the company behind it disappears all my notes are in my control and are in markdown format which means they can be imported into any other notes app easily.

And the 3rd party integrations API would help in getting more value out of your notes, right now I feel all my data is siloed across several apps, the articles I read and their highlights are in Pocket, my Kindle has my book highlights, my long term notes are in Obsidian, my short term notes are in Keep, my Todos are in TickTick. I am looking into a way to consolidate all the different sources of data to get synced into one platform so I have it all centralized, I saw recently that TickTick added a integration with Notion. I’m hoping to find a quick notes app that can be made to easily sync with Obsidian. Right now I tag Keep notes that I want to copy to Obsidian and then manually copy them on weekends.

I’ve started looking for a open source alternative to Keep recently as well, following are few features I’m looking for in random order, maybe you could look into implementing some of these. Once I get some free time I can try to contribute to the code as well.

1. Cross platform with sync - iOS, Android, Web, Windows, Linux (Sync should not need to rely on 3rd party servers, should be able to use free syncing solutions)
2. Free
3. Open Source
4. Easy to export all my notes / data in a open format like markdown etc.
5. Hackable - can make automations that connect to other apps like Obsidian, TickTick, maybe using some API?
6. Good notes search functionality, with search inside a note option
7. Notes organization, via tags and folders
8. Notes linking like Obsidian ?
9. Google Keep like virtual pinboard of notes display, AKA masonry layout ?
10. Markdown support for lists, links etc
11. Runs in the background (system tray) in Windows / Linux and can be brought up and a new note added quickly using keyboard shortcuts like TickTick.
12. Reminders / Alerts For Notes
13. Pin Notes
14. Notes Can Contain Rich Links, Images, Sound, Video

P.S I think notes collaboration might be a anti feature, it takes away from the simplicity of it and I don’t think most people take notes to share with others, I think for most people notes are personal, so I don’t know how many would want this feature.

Says they guy whos texts get more and more unhinged with each reply lol

There are aeronautical engineers who think the world is flat. Human beings aren’t rational creatures, so it’s not surprising that there are scientists that are religious, but acting like it’s some bad apples who give religion a bad name is also not correct. Might I remind you the vatican itself has helped hide multiple crimes committed by the clergy over the years, everything from shielding child raping priests by moving them around to burying the bones of the native American children that were kidnapped from their families and brutalized in church grounds. Point me to any country on the map that’s a theocracy and I’ll show you how they brutalize their population. I’m not against religion, but religion shouldn’t be allowed to interfere in other people’s lives, should not have any say in how a goverment runs and how laws get passed and should be forced to pay taxes like any other business. Religious people with power over others are a danger to society.

This is heaven

Split column staggered is how keyboards designed for human hands should be, I don’t understand how most manufacturers are still pushing a keyboard designed for mechanical typewriters, that needed the row stagger for the mechanical linkages under every key. I’m I’m in between jobs right now but I’ll buy a split keyboard as my next keyboard soon

Lol do you live in a cave or something, religious organizations used to straight up torture and kill scientists if they made any claims that were not in line with what the religion claimed, read up on what they did to the early astronomers who were figuring out that the sun and not earth is the center of or solar system, and that’s just one instance, I can point to a million other atrocities that today’s society views as barbaric done by organized religion. Religion has nothing to do with living a good life, it’s about centralising power and control over the masses and making them obey your commands.

Yeah cause other religions are so progressive and constantly evolving for the better lol

I haven’t thought about that in so long lol. I got a hand me down laptop that had that tech in it and the special light scribe blank CD, I wanted to try it out but I never could decide what I wanted to print with it and so I never did

Reminds me of that scene in The Good Guys where Ryan Gosling’s character tries to punch through a window and cuts his arm up and slowly realizes he’s fucked lol

Scoops Ahoy Steve

Anyone who’s played Dead By Daylight can attest that all the characters hurt sounds like the right side
