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

Steam deck maybe

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.

The power of Linux, in the palm of my hand

I love these mini game blog posts. A good way to understand the vibes of some games, will help me figure out what to play next, thank you

No everything in Linux has to be used through the terminal, how else will I feel elite. If there has to be a gui let’s make sure it looks like it was designed in 1995, so everyone hates it and just uses the terminal instead

Maybe this is it -

This looks like it can can actually fuck up some models, but the unnecessary CPU load it will generate means most websites won’t use it unfortunately

Playing games is the thing I almost never do on my Quest 3, I mostly just lie down and watch movies and TV on it, but it’s too bulky and uncomfortable for that, the new Bigscreen Beyond 2 looks amazing for that use, unfortunately it costs more than double of Quest 3, I’ll save up for it and sell my Quest 3 in the future, cause fuck Zuck

Yes

That sounds good maybe in a couple of years I’ll when I get a new laptop I’ll put Linux on my old one to turn it into a home server and backup computer

Sounds good, if my old laptop that my parents use gets to dated for windows I’ll put Linux on it

The average Joe - “what’s a Bootable flash drive?”

Yeah when are comfortable typing commands it’s obviously much easier to just pull up the terminal and do that and since dependencies are shared between applications in Linux it prevents your drive from becoming bloated and it’s so much easier to update everything using a few commands, but most people are not comfortable typing even basic words let alone commands, every time I’ve seen my manager who apparently used to be a programmer once, struggle to type a sentence making spelling mistakes in ever word, I’m glad he doesn’t code anymore, cause most of the time when he runs a command he makes some mistake and screws things up and then I have to fix it.

So long as you need a terminal to do anything on a Linux machine it’s not gonna get any mainstream appeal, most people can barely install a app on windows where they just have to click next a few times. Also if the laptop you buy comes pre-installed with windows what would motivate a regular joe to go out of his way to install Linux on it and risk messing things up by making a mistake. Also people don’t want to replace their windows only software and gaming is another reason to stick to windows for now. I’d rather use Linux, but I’ll wait till Steam has made most games compatible with Linux, and Nvidia and Amd give proper driver support for linux
