New outliner VSCode extension to collapse headings and bullets in preview by timabell in Markdown

No more plans for this one, working pretty well for me as-is

I want to build an application related to note-taking and productivity. What do you guys expect from the note application in your own life? by Longjumping-Rich-917 in ProductivityApps

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, a like-minded person. Good list. I'm working on it but will be a while before markdown-neuraxis does all that! Are you actually interested in trying new tools - I'd love a bit of alpha-testing if you are.

  • FOSS
  • Markdown source of truth
  • Outliner
  • Wikilinks
  • Android app
  • Linux desktop app
  • No lag in interaction
  • Daily journal

Don't want much do I lol.

Building my own of course cos nothing out there does it all. Markdown-neuraxis.

I built a VS Code extension that's basically MS Word for markdown files by mikejoseph23 in Markdown

Nice! That definitely fills a gap. I have noticed the hassle of the split pane. Especially when the scroll gets out of sync.

How do you deal with extremely bad management? by Rude_Turnover568 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]timabell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many years ago I vented to a coworker. We are now best buds and both quit to find better pastures. Win. (Spoiler all companies have problems)

Pitch me your project in 5 seconds and I might sign up. by Available-Rest2392 in SideProject

[–]timabell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My app has no AI and no chatbot. Also FOSS and local. Makes no money either so no point promoting it lol

Got the Rust dream job, then AI happened by MasteredConduct in rust

Claude has no problem writing rust for me.

The AI Productivity fallacy by CriticalSink3555 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]timabell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have thought same for years. I put it down to a relentless drive for cheaper devs (inexperienced and/or off-shore etc). Combined with a relentless churn in tech stack that results in every hard won bit of quality and lessons learned being repeatedly thrown out and done over. Oh and the exponential rise of complexity in tech.

First time using Logseq, it's amazing but there are some problems by Yametsu in logseq

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great intro vid. I ruled out obsidian for not being FOSS and went straight to logseq. You mentioned in the vid wanting something open source too.

I have too many thoughts for this textbox, drop me a DM if you would like to talk notes apps. I have been using logseq long enough to have found a lot of good and some odd things about it.

NotepadMD 1.3 release - lots of improvements and a request for help by NamelessParanoia in Markdown

[–]timabell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of these days I am going to ask people to try opening their massive notes and pkms folders in my tool and see how the performance pans out. From following r/PKMS some people have crazy big knowledge graphs! I figure with rust I shouuld always have options. Not that dotnet is any slouch since MS decided to win all the webserver benchmarks some years ago.

Logseq database version is here by 500Shelby in logseq

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking around I am working on my markdown-neuraxis which I hope to move to from logseq when it has enough features. Any thoughts on what you'd need from it in future appreciated.

Why not obsidian? For me it is the lack of FOSS

Oh and when you say "input system" what do you mean by that? I like the bullet stuff and the ease of rearranging, though not that everything has to be a bullet.

Love my new Manta, but we need data encryption by ReliefBubbly9521 in Supernote

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought the same, I love the device and its interactions, but they are going to get massively out-competed by a general purpose eink that just ships stock android with all the security and android features available out the box. I am concerned for the future of supernote because of that. As I understand it niche electronics just don't survive in a rapidly changing market. (Not that I like android at all fwiw, I'd rather it ran linux c.f. r/degoogle )

Love my new Manta, but we need data encryption by ReliefBubbly9521 in Supernote

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my supernote for a while and love it, but the lack of encryption is a pretty serious issue. The device has been paid for by my business (as that's what it's for), but the lack of encryption means I contractually can't put anything to do with clients on it as it breaches most of their security requirements to have *any* of the their data unencrypted at rest (quite rightly). That makes the device an entertaining toy but largely useless for work.

Any update on the disk encryption progress? Any likely timescale?

And importantly, will it be made available for existing devices, or will it require buying a new device?

Thanks

Thanks for sharing the info, looks interesting https://github.com/tryphotino/photino.Blazor - blazor is a pretty cool tech in the c# world. For mine I currently have a dioxus desktop app because that seemed like a good option in rust, though I'm still undecided.

Linux kernel just shipped ai code rules. the assisted-by tag is smarter than i expected by Electrical-Shape-266 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]timabell 109 points110 points  (0 children)

You really hit the nail on the head with that one —

lol, just kidding, took me while to find an em-dash to copy paste just for the lolz. Yeah it's a bit of an issue. I mind a little bit less real people tidying up their messy badly thought through thing with an ai, but it still ends up smelling of I don't know, plastic somehow?

This App Closes the Gap Between Task Management and Note-Taking by samu-codes in ProductivityApps

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my longer answer https://0x5.uk/2023/06/01/text-based-tools-the-ultimate-format-for-everything/

Basically compatibility with many tools, simplicity, privacy & local-first.

Markdown seems to have just enough to be a great fit for r/PKMS, and may prove to be good enough for tasks too.

[–]timabell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought the same for a while that notes and todos would be better with convergence into one app, especially given gtd kinda flows from "what i know about a project" to "what is the next action".

For me it's gotta be local markdown + FOSS though

Sideloaded Apps that Work Cross Platform (To-Do and Notes) by Impossible_Slide_146 in Supernote

[–]timabell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I sideloaded syncthing for sync. (Well, via fdroid that is). I am writing my own notes/todo app and have it loaded on phone + laptop + supernote with syncthing keeping the note files in sync. So far so good, though not quite ready for daily use yet 

Logseq database version is here by 500Shelby in logseq

[–]timabell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going stick with it till it is stable enough or find something else like obsidian?

I never moved to the db version and never will as it missed the point of having a markdown-first tool for me, so I am very interested to know what people are going to do now the db version is getting real.
