Use a custom domain on Protonmail (which includes Simplelogin) and you won’t have any issues. It’s a grand total of $5 per year for the domain.

Have you got an example I can test? I switched to Firefox mobile over a year ago and I can’t think of any time I’ve come across a site that didn’t work.

I use Obsidian for this. I create template notes for each activity with all the checkboxes, then when it’s time to do the activity I just go “Create new note from template” and choose the right template.

While I agree that this post seems like a giant spammy ad, you don’t have to provide anything personal to Kagi. You can pay with crypto rather than card - I paid using Monero via a swap service.

In Logseq, everything is a nested list. This feels like a limitation, but I’ve been preferring it. The decision is made for you: you’re going to jot this information down as a list. So then you just start writing it.

I really appreciate you posting this. I’m a long-time Obsidian user, and an Evernote user before that, and I never “got” Logseq. I just couldn’t understand what people saw in an app that didn’t let you “write” anything. I’ve tried to start using Logseq so many times and just given up because the interface made no sense.

Thanks to your comment I finally get it! I prefer to be using something open-source, so I’m going to give Logseq another go, now that I finally understand it, and see how that approach feels.

Obsidian, Zettlr, and Logseq live in the category of local plain-text file-based PKMs.

Trilium lives in the category of local database-based PKMs.

The reason the first category exists is that people wanted to get out of vendor and file lock-in.

Apples and oranges.

Having been through the enshitification of Obsidian, it was important to me and many others to be not beholden to any vendor’s file system. Your database requires Trilium to be instantly usable. My notes are useful and usable (and frequently accessed) from Logseq and VSCode.

The two options are simply not comparable, hence apples and oranges.

Not relevant to you, but relevant to others who might require local plaintext files, rather than a database.

Which brings us right back to apples and oranges 😘

You’re describing now a larger scope of requirement

I am not. I am saying data storage format is a basic, critical factor. And it is. And I already know you agree on this, which is why you choose FOSS options with known, open formats.

Lmao. No, I don’t agree that file format is the most critical choice

Local vs web-hosted, or open formats vs closed formats are part of the exact same choice. So I think you probably do agree that it’s a critical, basic component of your software decision. 😉

Yes obsidian supports various linking formats, but mainly uses its own.

But it doesn’t. The only two options are Wikilinks or original Markdown.

The only software that I’m aware of that is in the same camp as Obsidian - plaintext Markdown files and non-outliner - is Zettlr.

this is just a silly assertion to make.

It’s the most critical, most basic factor in determining what software to choose. I am specifically using software that works on plain-text Markdown files for many reasons, least of all that I need other software to be able to interact with those files. You can’t do that with Trilium.

Secondly, Obsidian does not use its own linking system, it supports both the widely used Wikilinks system and the DaringFireball/CommonMark markdown system.

Come on. At least have knowledge about the software you are trying to criticise.

But Trillium is not plain-text Markdown, so you’re comparing apples to oranges. They’re completely different approaches at their most base level.

Having been through the enshitification of Obsidian, it was important to me and many others to be not beholden to any vendor’s file system. Trilium notes require Trilium to be instantly usable. My notes are useful and usable in Obsidian, Logseq, VSCode, and others, because they use plaintext Markdown files.

Joplin stores its files inside a database. Obsidian stores all notes as individual plaintext Markdown files.

In the first instance, that’s clearly more future-proof and robust - your notes are immediately available in any application without a layer of abstraction. You can’t have a single file corrupt and destroy all your notes.

I vastly prefer it for that reason. I want to know these notes are still going to work fine in 10 years, and be easily accessible.

Oh thank god. I’m on the $10 plan and I wasn’t using it on mobile because it’s so easy to hit 1000 searches on desktop.

That limit is just something that always hangs around at the back of your mind and you had to keep remembering to use Google for currency or unit conversions etc.

Now I can just use Kagi 👍

AnyType is an open-source alternative to Notion which recently launched:

I last ran it myself a couple of years ago, and it was fine. These days I’m using Beeper, and I haven’t had any dropouts as an end user. If there are issues, they’re dealing with it not me.

During the protests, Reddit was very high on both the Block and Lower lists. Quite interesting that this has changed. I still have mine set for Lower.

The best thing about Kagi is never again seeing Quora, W3Schools, or Pinterest in results.

Yes and no. No, in that the bridge code is published, and it takes no action other than re-encrypting your message with the destination auth. But you have to trust that server. If you don’t trust the server, then you can run your own. Running your own Matrix server isn’t all that hard; I’ve done it before and there’s an Ansible playbook which does all the heavy lifting for you. But these days I prefer someone to run it for me.

No it won’t have your credentials, but you will authorise the bridge as a device, like you would with the web app.

Apart from the new Beta features, I’ve found 90% of my Photoshop workflow is replicated in Photopea

edit: I am an idiot - Photopea is not open source. Although it will help remove a reliance on Windows.
