You don't just take the pedals off. You slide down the slope. This is the best and the fastest way to learn to bike.

So you missed one more: religion. If you were going to reappropriate the internet into existing - I take it that you mean, human - structure, then you might as well add religion here too. There have been no other factors beyond religion and national geographies, that have bound humans at a larger scale. IMHO, this is/was not the original intent when DARPA unleashed Internet beyond it's laboratory. Sure, we can reappropriate as we move along. But there is no precedence of a promised land here. The nation-states and/or religions have been at wars since the beginning of time. What's there to prove that a technology like Internet (throw AI of the future into it) would make things better for human nature to adopt. Just because we can scale does not mean that we may be scaling to something better.

It is not in human nature to scale their communities/tribes. Case in point, the continuous wars. It was foolish of humans on the early Internet to perceive ideas of forming large scale communities (business and ego motivations did that). If psychologists and anthropologists were techies and influencers of early Internet, we wouldn't have built such experiences in the first place.

Humans thrive in small scale and close knit communities. Unfortunately, Internet was not built for such ideas. It will take a while for the original intent of the social media to die out. First, the ego will have to subside. Then, the business motivations would need to shift to something other than profiting off the human communication (did anyone care to throw Ads on the old fashioned telephone lines? Or tag an Ad inside our snail mail? No). When the humanity reaches such proportion of correction for the sake of Internet, we might come back to our senses.

Looks like a winner! Thanks.

Regarding APIs, what is a recommend good and free tool, other than Postman, that allows for importing and exporting of saved collections?

In around 2015 or so, prior to social media, etc, there used to be a mainframe forum or two (perhaps they still exist) where a whole bunch of newbies from India used to hang out, to learn and grow their mainframe skills. It is the same time when there were stories floating around of mainframe veterans being let go. People have short term memory issues.

This is such a great quote for everyone! No matter the age. No matter what one wants to do.

> “I’m not able to learn mathematics easily,” Talagrand tells ... “I have to work. It takes a very long time and I have a terrible memory. I forget things. So I try to work, despite handicaps, and the way I worked was trying to understand really well the simple things. Really, really well, in complete detail. And that turned out to be a successful approach.”

Just imagine. You may be super smart who gets things easily and right away. Or, you may be average. Using this philosophy in life, one can excel further.

This is pretty fast. Wow. Question for you. Does the search feature works out of the box, or does it need a plugin?

Winner. Anything no-nonsense, now a days in this world, is a winner! Thank you!

It's a same thing everywhere. Hard work makes you a go-to person (at whatever). The go-to person gets you into high visibility projects. You ultimately can bargain your promotion using both of these qualities.

Be humble grandpa! There were people who used to use Google Reader without any of its social network shenanigans. And of course, there were people who have been using RSS readers before Google Reader was even born. But, no RSS reader has ever reached the ceiling of common usage, which is not a bad deal.

Watts and Osho were on the same wavelength when it comes to imparting their own definition of religion and philosophy. Both had their human flaws and didn't care. Their message was and is still sound (no wonder they are popular on YouTube).

I've had two over relatively few years. Both became paperweights. Cheap chromebooks are not worth wasting money.

What's the deal with copycats and similarities? This looks like a copy of bearblog.dev and one cannot tell who has copied whom. Is there anything on the Internet that is trustworthy anymore?

Don't underestimate the rise of Internet, websites, and the web servers in pushing the rise of Linux. Linux usage took hold not because people dropped Windows for desktop and adopted Linux. Linux usage took hold due to the increasing adoption of server and its related technologies. Simply put, nobody cared about the mass scale use of Active Directory for ldap and whatever Microsoft was selling as a web server. Linux servers provided better adoption to evolve with the rise of Internet.

All these professionals from vocational fields are horribly expensive in America. And then there are articles like these claiming they don't make money. BS. America has no public/private vocational school/training culture. People don't even teach each other unless you are born into the family of craftsman.

Lotus 1-2-3's UI was nowhere modern/polished as QuattroPro. Of course they had a hold of the user base.

Bill Gates gave the world Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc, so the humanity could become creative, educated and thriving. Zuckerberg gave the world social media and the world became ...

It's obvious they were competing with other spreadsheets of their time (QuattroPro).

I'm sure Joplin is excellent and I hate to argue one against the other. The markdown files in themselves should be independent. I have used several full featured, rather excellent, note-taking software, where the export is not "open". Obsidian is the only reasonable system I have seen where the software is up to date and it doesn't do anything with the markdown files to lock them in. I speak of this as a single user experience. And no, I don't like the idea of Mac Notes and Windows OneNote either. I'm all for note-taking apps which keeps the data/files independent.

How about their export file? What happens if/when this software disappears?

This seems like a good Docusaurus re-implementation.

Recently started noticing that they (MS) shoved their mobile Edge browser into the Outlook app in iOS. It was consistently nagging to just activate (whenever any URL is clicked from an email). It was time to say goodby to the Outlook app.

No disrespect to MS of course, but nobody needs another browser by force when one is already installed natively.

I feel that there's a lot of focus on markdown lately. Markdown is good. No issue there. But I feel we need to go back to html editing, so the modern day note taking apps can make more inroads into common usage.

I recently started using Obsidian after playing with several others. I think I'm going to stick with Obsidian as it has good number of people around on an active basis. Your product looks pretty fast and sharp but it is hard to trust browser-based workload for such a personal and subjective activity.

The note-taking market is very crowded. I think note-taking has already delivered its original slice bread. Pretty difficult to continue to reinvent the same and expect a different result. However, I do think, that going back to the basics of HTML (instead of continuing with the markdown) may break the ceiling a little further.

Any case. Good luck with your offering. It looks good and acts well.

Winger has been a great productivity booster. No relationship. Just a happy user. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/winger/

It's a novel idea, and you're correct to keep it out of integration.

Assume, for a moment, that your idea takes off and becomes the next WhatsApp. People, you know, will find ways to return to their normal selves. They'll cram a ton of links and messages into their allotted time slots.

What you're attempting to address is a fundamental flaw in human nature. Many people are aware of the issue and are taking precautions in their daily communication. Many, however, do not.

Docusaurus. It is so easy. I only wish I could figure out how to integrate xterm.js into it.
