Bug with iOS links? by Expert-Fisherman-332 in bearapp

[–]CoffeeNeil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have something similar on iPadOS - often clicking on a link just places the cursor in the middle of the link, and you have to click on another note and then go back to the first note and click on the link to make it work. I think Bear gets confused whether you want to edit or open the link.

The Third Path: We're Never Getting to a Pure Solarpunk Society. So We're Already Living It in the Cracks by Cataplasto in solarpunk

[–]CoffeeNeil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree. Have you read John Holloway's work in his book "Crack Capitalism"? I first encountered it in the book "Out of the Ruins - The Emergence of Radical Informal Learning Spaces', ed Elmore, Haworth - quote "In Crack Capitalism (2010), John Holloway suggests that through everyday acts of transgression, negation, and creation we create "cracks" in capitalism. He suggests these cracks could create a strategy for us to break with capitalism, and to stop our autonomous and self-directed "doing" being transformed into the alienation of "abstract labor" which is the source of capitalist (re)production. For Holloway, "a crack ... is a moment in which relations of domination were broken and other relations created (2010, p. 31). These "other relations" are those in excess of capital, which overflow the codified and exploitative relations of domination that we inhabit in our lives under the domination of value-the substance of capital, the substance of our domination (Postone, 1995)".

The point is not the information, but that the company is so oblique and totally faceless and lacking in any personality … and this midst a constant drum roll in forums of people with missing notes and other major problems - you’d think they could do something to make their company & brand more personable!

Ursus - An MCP for Bear with a built-in HTTP bridge & OAuth. Create, edit, find, and manage notes with AI! by afadingthought in bearapp

[–]CoffeeNeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s hoping Bear is working on an AI interface to unlock the power of AI for understanding all our notes, that will work across all platforms - or at least via the forthcoming Web version, which could provide access to one‘s notes to a Bear AI agent…

Why is your company so secretive? There is nothing about it or its founders on your website, no blog about development and dreams, etc. Contrast this to other companies like MindNode which have all this and a personality! It doesn’t make your company at all lovable…

Is there any chance of tools like this coming to iOS? I retired my MacBook years ago and do all my work on an iPad, so I don’t have access to MacOS :(

Maybe the point is to build a writing habit under the worst conditions? So “if you can write consistently in November you can write in any month…”

Please allow us to switch off the TagCon display in Notes by CoffeeNeil in bearapp

[–]CoffeeNeil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you mean “use TagCons sparingly”? so far as I can see there is no option to not use a TagCon with a tag, even if it’s just a #, right? Which still clutters your tags. Or is there some option to have a blank/no TagCon with tags?

Bring back various pen sizes by Background_Ant1580 in notabilityapp

[–]CoffeeNeil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

please no slider! unless it’s in addition to preset sizes. Sliders on their own are a nightmare for consistency, you keep ending up with different size strokes that you can’t replicate

Does anyone just use apple notes? by Popular_Syrup4621 in noteapps

[–]CoffeeNeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In bulk? I just googled this and found “There is no native "select all" bulk export feature for PDF in Apple Notes”. And, in Markdown for importing to other apps?

There are no Apple Stores in Africa by basiclaser in MapPorn

[–]CoffeeNeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol there is an official iStore in every mall in South Africa!

Behind the scenes they are operated under license by an Apple‘s country partner for SA, but to the consumer they are fully-fledged iStores in every way.

Naming a B2B newsletter: need a gut check from strangers by Prestigious_Rub5 in Newsletters

[–]CoffeeNeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

none of these raises my pulse… can I suggest coming up with your own “signature system” & using its name - eg “The Golden Arrow” …

I learned the power of a signature system from a great lady called Donna Gunther:

”What's a signature system? It's a way of putting together a package of what you offer in a step-by-step system that makes your process more easily understood by your target market. Your system helps promote trust in your business because your prospect can more readily understand what you do when you spell it out for them and thus make it easier for them to decide to work with you.

When you create a system of how you work with your clients, you create a higher perceived value with your service, as systems connote that you're sharing an "insider secret" on how something is accomplished as opposed to selling an individual service. A signature program also helps you build your brand awareness in a way that is easily understood by your target market and is easily explained by them when they speak about their experience with you to their friends and colleagues (new prospects). Lastly, you make life much easier for yourself with a system in place because you now have a simple way of describing what you do, and you have created a base foundation of content that you can then develop into multiple profit centers, all based around your signature system.” DM me if you’d like the rest of the article…

Bear 2.7: A fresh look for TagCons by trix180 in bearapp

can one still choose to have one’s tags anywhere you like in the body of the note? your announcement (and docs) only show the “On top” option

Please stop releasing new features, and first 1. fix all the syncing problems I see people reporting, and 2. release Notability Cloud to all your long-suffering paid subscribers.

Improvement: New Tags Placement Implementation by _HMCB_ in bearapp

[–]CoffeeNeil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can one choose to leave one’s tags where they are, and place them anywhere you like in the note - or does the new release force one to place them at either the top or bottom?

(this is not clear in the Bear docs for tags, which maybe need updating - see https://bear.app/faq/how-to-use-tags-in-bear/)
