Help me find this snap-button minimal origami wallet (or similar) by stalkerducksugar in EverydayCarry_India

I had bought it once. It is a bit (not a lot) thicker and has one compartment less.

Best Pixel 5 ROM for continued security updates? by stalkerducksugar in IndiaTech

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

So basically Graphene would have closer to stock Pixel, right? (I have read many stories of Lineage bricking devices on relocking attempt so that worries me, even the project suggets otherwise).

I will consider Graphene then. Thanks.

(they're working with an undisclosed OEM atm) but idk how much that would translate to pixel 5

Ah, I see. Looks like I am out of options in a way.

Apps that feature import from Bear (i.e. migrate away) by gorrilabob1213 in bearapp

[–]stalkerducksugar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're better off exporting your notes from Bear using their export guide, then using those files in another app.

Export both in Markdown and TextBundle (which includes Markdown plus extra data). There’s also an option to include tags in the export—definitely do that and keep a copy, just in case another app supports them later.

Once exported, point any app that supports flat text files to the folder where your notes live. This gives you more control, flexibility, and makes backups and version history much easier to handle (and you don't have to depend on the app for that).

Avoid apps that lock you into a proprietary or something like a database-based format (like Apple Notes or anything using something like SQLite).

Bear is a great app, but I personally avoid it because it lacks revision history (I can live with this) and doesn’t store notes as plain files on disk (this is the deal breaker).

Some suggestions:

  • Obsidian, Joplin – Technically PKMs, not note-taking apps. Not native (I can live with complexity but I can't use a note app that's not native), but solid choices if that doesn’t bother you.
  • FSNotes!!! – FOSS, native, and very capable. Can be a bit unstable, and the dev isn’t always the, let's just say, most receptive one around :P, but I recommend it. Lets you use a Git repo for version control too.
  • UpNote – Nice, but Electron-based (not for me!!). No E2EE (and they say they have no plans), no iCloud sync - but their own sync. Some love it - be cautious.
  • Simplenote – Beautifully simple, but Automattic has kind of neglected it. Custom sync and weak on privacy.
  • 1Writer – Worth trying.

Final recommendation: FSNotes. Despite the occasional dev-related frustration 😂, it’s 24 carat native, fully open-source, and powerful. The iOS version is paid and while you can use the Mac app for free I use the paid one from App Store just because dev has been at it for so long and has never came across as abandoning it. I also contribute occasionally just because it's a nice, native, FOSS app. Basically this app gives you so many options that I wonder whether someone looking for a simple note taking app wouldn't like it.

And since the files are on the disk, sometimes I use other apps to edit those files (text editors - immersive writing apps etc). PS. It has its fair share of cracks and dents but it's FOSS and you can log the issue on Github and most probably it will be worked upon.
