Espanso (Legacy)

Just as I was getting to know espanso, I came across a brand-new version of espanso that is way better that this (0.7.6) version, now called Legacy version. Read about the new version here

I have left the following as is, for posterity

Logseq

I came across logseq long ago, of all the places on Dendron’s discord channel. It has other-projects channel just for this purpose. Logseq was still early back then (compared to Dendron at least). I tried, but did not like it. Plus Dendron was much better. Today, I came across Logseq again, when I was perusing my colleague’s twitter feed and noticed that he is using it. So I checked it again.

Appflowy

Came across appflowy on twitter. It is an open source alternative to Notion. I have never used Notion, but everyone and their grandma rave about it. Why have I not used Notion so far ? Because I did not want to sign up for yet-another SaaS that I know I won’t use. I use Dendron (these days) for my PKM. I use it because it is “local first” - meaning I always have access to my data.

Back to DDG

Few days ago, I came across you.com search engine. I tried it for solid 15 days. There was no set plan for “trial” It presents the result in card like fashion, which I was OK with. But I think rendering take a bit longer. So much so that I noticed the delay. Switching back to trusty DDG 😇

Nvim

I have been using nvim for a while. Initially with VS Code, and then as replacement for vi/vim from the terminal. Since I use Doom emacs as may primary editor, I use nvim only for occasional quick edits here and there. So I had not paid attention, but nvim the ecosystem is getting better. TIL that there are two ways to configure nvim. Via VimScript and Lua Need to look into each and decide which one to use.
