I have never heard of Tauri before now. What's up with it?
(My guess is bloat)
EDIT: had a quick look at the docs and it relies on WebView2 on Windows, so it sounds like more web-based ick
The better of the worse is almost good.
Btw, does tauri support client side prefers-color-scheme? At least Typora doesn't, which is in electron. I switch my scheme on evening + morning.
Your thoughts are yours. Your notes should be too.
100%. And one of the two reasons I take all my personal notes using pen and paper. 100 % the analog way, as there is...
- no AI,
- no tracking,
- no ads,
- no subscriptions,
- no user account required,
- No (forced) updates & no upgrades,
- no bugs,
- Also, no matter how hard they might want to, there will be no law to make it so that paper now has to check my age when I'm using it, or for my wooden pencil to report everything I write down.
I dunno, this wooden pencil of yours is kinda sharp. Would be a shame if it's not registered... You've got a carry permit for it?
I don't, sir. It's a gift from my late dad.
More seriously, I'm half-expecting some stupid shit like that to happen. To have some sort of control on who is allowed to use pen and paper... Unsurprisingly, this would happen at the same time people are considering the very notion of educating children has an obsolete and useless thing, since we now have AI to do everything for us, why even bother sending kids to school to learn to read and write?
You can have all the orgaization methods you want but, imho, notes over an extended period of time are almost worthless without search
You're right, save that search is nothing without a great index and it happens I have made one... If you want to know how an analog index works search for more info on what is a Zettelkasten, as my own 'system' is very close to that. Using that index I can find any book I've read (and my notes about it), any notion I've ever written about (be it a book or mere vague ideas),and I can find them in a matter of an instant. No matter how old it is, how short or how... flimsy it can be compared to other and much thicker parts of my notes and research.
Edit: https://zettelkasten.de/overview/ (it's in English). To get a glimpse of a 100% analog version (like mine), check Luhmann's work (the one who formalized the idea, an idea people had been using centuries before he formalized it): https://niklas-luhmann-archiv.de/nachlass/zettelkasten (this one is in German).
At my humble level, my system has become my second brain as well as a precious companion allowing for deeper conversations with... a better/smarter version of myself.
I tried digital mind you, I started using a computer in the very early 80s and must have tried a lot of those digital tools (even contributing money and suggestions to a bunch of of them), but as far as I'm concerned nothing beats pen and index cards and the most essential part linking them all: indexes (plural, as I use two different ones).
Who needs search when you have binders?
*sigh* at least it's opt-in, I guess
Ah, so it's garbage
a foss project on codeberg and the fediverse, but it comes with ai integration instead of vim mode. tough times.
Because who doesn't want dead code in their apps huh?
Repoβs claiming to be a private alternative of XYZ but then use closed source social media such as Discord. Lame.
