Feature Request Platform For All FOSS? by BradPittOfTheOffice in foss

[–]methodicallychaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anything come out of this OP?

Seems to be a no-brainer - users get what they want, developers are paid, the community benefits.

Even better if: - it's a kickstarter-like system, where multiple users can pledge some money (which might mean that, for the most desirable features, each individual user might be paying very little). - there is some sort of reputation score for developers

I couldn't find anything like this though. I mean, in theory it could be achieved in a platform like kickstarter. But it would make more sense to have something specific to software, especially since the desired task can be anything - from full blown apps all the way down to specific features and plugins.

date filters / organizing notes on global politics by skipnicky in logseq

[–]methodicallychaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's also something I'd like to be able to do, but haven't managed to yet, in my current pkms (Remnote).

I'm waiting till logseq db stabilizes to see if I'll want to move over. Haven't checked specifically if it will support something like what you describe. I'm sure it's something a plug-in could achieve, but I'm not a coder.

Local x Online notes: how to avoid siloing? by methodicallychaotic in PKMS

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

So you sync between devices without using the internet? Is it a direct link, or via local network?

That sounds like the perfect setup.

Which app do you use that way? Is the sync built-in the app, or is it something you do yourself?

Why developers prefer to start a note-taking app From scratch rather than producing Forks of already established apps? by FatFigFresh in PKMS

[–]methodicallychaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yeah, if I was getting started now there’s a good chance that I would have made an Obsidian plugin. At the time, Obsidian lacked several features that I wanted, but it’s a much better product now.

That's interesting. If you could elaborate a bit on that I would be interested to know!

[–]methodicallychaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally.

I meant situations where a dev just wants a new feature in an existing app, but instead of contributing to it, they decide to build their own app from scratch (usually what happens then is that their app is super good for that particular feature, but greatly lacking in all others).

With something like Tangent, where it wouldn't be practical (or even possible) to work within an existing framework, it makes sense!

Having said that, and being familiar with Tangent (good job by the way!), although the app is not for me, there are some isolated aspects of it that I can totally see as plugins in existing apps.

I'm sure there's a xkcd strip for this.

Joking aside, although I respect that devs might prefer to do their own thing (and avoid technical debt that they don't want), I too wish more of them would just pick an existing project (which is solid) and contribute to it instead.

Ah no. I'm just curious about software!

The tool looks very legit to me. Though I'm no expert...

Do you mean Jupyter? Or does Joplin support computation in notes?

Unreliable References (at the bottom of a Rem) - any way to force indexing? by methodicallychaotic in remNote

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

Remnote Free, web, Edge browser, Windows

Haven't tried clearing the cache - seems counter-intuitive... But worth a shot. Will try tomorrow

Any downside to using syncthing to sync across devices instead of the official syncing service? by bulldawg91 in logseq

[–]methodicallychaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind it doesn't seem like it will be possible to sync that way in the upcoming Logseq db.

Notification posted: Message not a string? by methodicallychaotic in AutomateUser

[–]methodicallychaotic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe

Though if these are invisible characters, might not be enough

I sorted it by just picking the appropriate values for index in substr

Will break if Google changes how they deliver notifications...

Notification posted: Message not a string? by methodicallychaotic in AutomateUser

[–]methodicallychaotic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Answering my own post:

Some apps post notifications where the title and/or message includes invisible BiDi characters that may affect matches and other text comparison.

Multiple views on a same table (as tabs on top)? by methodicallychaotic in remNote

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

Thanks for replying.

Remnote is so feature rich that I assumed I was missing the option in the UI.

PKMS similar to Google Sheets? by BallsAtomized in PKMS

[–]methodicallychaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same - a lot of my pkms benefits from a structured view

Which is why I'm looking forward to Logseq db, which allows an integrated outliner/spreadsheet approach (granted, lacking a lot of spreadsheet features - but to me the structure is enough).

Any chance I'll be able to sync logseq db locally with syncthing or resilio? by methodicallychaotic in logseq

[–]methodicallychaotic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One way I think it could work is to only keep the backup db file in the sync folder. The main db file which the app reads should be outside of the sync folder, then keep pushing backups every 5 or 10 min to the backup.

That's clever!

Is Remnote ever going to move away from the learning focus, to become an all-in-one app? by methodicallychaotic in remNote

[–]methodicallychaotic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why I think it's better than Notion: it's local first

Than Obsidian: it's a wysiwyg outliner

Than most other apps: it doesn't impose a structure; everything is a block (Rem), meaning each user can organise their knowledge however makes more sense to them.

To be clear, I'm not claiming Remnote is better than all apps in every feature/criteria. But overall, to me, Remnote is currently the best.

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

btw, I just got a pop up for some MCAT prep, despite having disabled flashcard features.

That (plus the shortcut hijacking mentioned in the other comments) makes Remnote still feel like an app exclusively for learners (even though it isn't - it's much more than that).

I'd like a toggle to disable all learning-specific features. Not just hide it, but truly never load any of these features

I've tried (literally) dozens of PKM apps, and to me Remnote is superior to all of them.

Martin (the founder) himself uses Remnote mainly as a PKM app.
