blindsight, en Evernote restricts free users to 50 notes. Time for open-source alternatives?

I’m loving Logseq. It’s free and libre and stores all your data in local text files in standard formats, so there’s absolutely no lock in. They also have an ethical business model ($5/mo to use their fully-encrypted sync solution, but you can just sync the files using whatever other system you like.)

The forward and backwards lining of notes means I don’t need to worry too much about organization ahead of time and I can still find everything.

That said, I’ve never used Evernote, so not sure if it’s a good replacement. I was looking to build a “Second Brain” and it’s been fantastic for that.

Templa,

I’m using Logseq too! However not feeling very optimistic considering they require CLA signing for contributors

QOwnNotes. It’s FLOSS, customizable, native / performant, offline first, and uses plaintext so there’s no lock-in. I switched from SimpleNote when they started screwing self-hosters.

FatLegTed, en Evernote restricts free users to 50 notes. Time for open-source alternatives?

There was a thread on here not too long ago looking for alternatives.

One of the alternatives mentioned was **Notesnook. **

I’ve gone with that, it has a similar look to Evernote. There are paid options for more features.

Couldn’t get on with Joplin at all. OneNote is, well OneNote.

Notesnook is superb. Developers very receptive and fast responding as well.

@On@kbin.social avatar

just heard of notesnook. are you using the self-hosted version or their free plan? is it self-hostable?

FatLegTed,

I’m using the yearly subscription. Not sure if self hostable. Ask them, they’re very good at prompt replies 😉

I'm old school. I use text files

JoMomma,

I use paper

0xtero,
@0xtero@kbin.social avatar

I still do that for meeting minutes, out of old habits, but other stuff like design notes/specs need to be e-mailed around, so it had to be something digital. Markup in text files was my solution.

I've never used Evernote, I thought it was something Mac specific?

I use Obsidian.

It's text files but markdown.

I tried 15 different note apps after my note app stopped being updated. I didn't like any of them until Standard Notes. It's nice that you can access them from any device.

Send_me_nude_girls, en Electromechanical Refreshable Braille Module : HackadayPrize 2023
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

Cool stuff. Motivational even, to solve a complex issue like that.

prorester,

I hope they go on to make affordable, refreshable braille devices and tank the price of those devices for 3k.

bluGill,

How long do these last / how reliable are they. I'd love to have a braille display, but since I can see fine $3k isn't worth it, but $100 I'd have one to play with. However if I was blind I might be willing to spend $3k if it is better (note that I am well off and can afford $3k if I really want to - most blind people are not well as well off as me)

prorester,

If one for 100$ lasts you a year, then that's 30 years of one braille display a year. Do you believe the quality would not improve in 30 years?

bluGill,

If it lasts me a year, that is two days for a blind person. In just a few months the 3k.version is cheaper for them. I don't think quality will improve in a few months, more likely they go bankrupt from warranty claims (if open source develop a bad reputation and nobody uses it)

prorester,

you = generic you, not "bluGill". But even so, do you seriously think these components will last you 2 days? That's just an argument in bad faith.

bluGill,

You said that it was last me one year. Since I'm not blind, only someone vaguely interested that would be two days - not for me, but for someone who is blind and thus needs to use this all day.

As for how long it will last? That is an open question. It has small moving plastic parts Making those last is a difficult engineering challenge, so while 2 days (for the blind) wouldn't surprise me, I'm not actually stating anything. Fortunately it is easy for them to test: build one, figure out how fast blind people read, and then throw project Gutenberg at it repeatedly for a while to see how long it lasts. Since it is so easy I'll just stick with how long it lasts is a real worry, but I expect someone to do some tests and tell everyone. Ideally it would be the creators as they can do a failure analysis and maybe fix problems.

If it lasts a blind person a year this is a good win.

Richard Stallman has revealed he is undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer of the white blood cells, but says that his prognosis is good.

Truck_kun, en The open source Godot Engine has a new Godot Development Fund

Okay, I never really looked into Godot, so I knew nothing about it.

Nice to see that it not only supports C++ and C#, offers a python inspired GDScript language, but allows community bindings for other languages. It’s nice to see there are already community bindings for Rust, Python, Javascript, etc.

insomniac_lemon,
@insomniac_lemon@kbin.social avatar

but allows community bindings for other languages.

The bindings in 3.X were in a really good state even for niche languages, 4.X introduced a new system that threw that out the window as all bindings needed to be redone as a new effort.

More integration was needed for compiled languages, but it kinda sucks that the language I want to use (that was listed as production-ready for 3.X) still isn't an option more than half-a-year after 4.0 released (and still only splintered efforts by individuals).

Truck_kun,

Well, Godot is getting a lot of press right now.

Hopefully it leads to not just more people using it, but more developers working on it, improving the ecosystem, and hopefully the bindings as well.

insomniac_lemon,
@insomniac_lemon@kbin.social avatar

Possibly, but the most expected immediate direction (both for new contributors and the existing Godot team) due to the current situation is likely improving (or simply using) C# support over any bindings.

In my case, people interested in the same language might actually switch over to Unreal instead (as it does have a language-support plugin). That and I think it's just a tall order to create bindings from scratch especially for 1 person, maybe even a year-long task so kinda sucks the 3.X bindings got broke (still seems odd to me that those devs weren't/still-aren't interested in 4.X).

It's also possible that even the newer bindings require specific knowledge of Godot's system (also maybe a bit of C/C++ knowledge) resulting in less people able to understand enough to even start creating bindings.

I mean I'm sure there will be an ecosystem change (beyond C#) because of this, but it'll probably have more effect longer-term (if Unity can't figure out how to dig upwards).

ripcord,
@ripcord@kbin.social avatar

Which language?

insomniac_lemon,
@insomniac_lemon@kbin.social avatar

Nim-lang. Python-esque style but compiled, having performance and high flexibility. Here's an image with some code in it (non-Godot) (Note: reading from text grid) and here's an example project (number converter) I made for 3.X (go to /src/ for actual code, main.nim and convert.nim).

Probably lends itself to gamedev (particularly highly tunable yet optional memory management, arc/orc likely what most want).

Note that this likely could have been guessed via this list as C# is obviously not it, Rust and Lua have 4.X bindings, so that only leaves 3 options in the production-ready category (and the other 2 are JS/TS).

Thanks. Very interesting

I am not familiar with UTM, but if you want to use it for gaming, 86Box might work better because it supports 3D acceleration.
