Crossplatform, git versioning, gpg security (allows you to integrate with smartcards and tokens that you might already have in place for your employees).

Decent UX too, works with clipboard, supports totp.

weystrom··on A Thread about Internet Archive's “Silent Killer”
Exactly, decentralization is the way to go. Data hoarding is a hobby. Just checkout r/datahoarder.
weystrom··on Fight back against Google AMP (2018)
For firefox there is this extension to protect yourself from AMP: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amp2html/

Works on mobile too.

The downside is that page redirection takes some time.

weystrom··on Replace Windows 7 with Linux
Call me when there's hardware video acceleration in browsers available.
weystrom··on Give Firefox a chance
Just opening a new tab, when you have a lot of tabs open, is slow on Firefox.

Chrome is also much better for web video. Sites like Youtube and twitch.tv perform better on Chrome. I don't have any benchmarks on hand, but that's how I feel after switch between two browsers for a while. I think I'm sticking to Chromium.

weystrom··on Give Firefox a chance
It doesn't perform well on my Mac. No hw accelerated video (and still kinda slow) when I run Linux.

I've tried multiple times, and as much as I like what Mozilla is doing for privacy on the web, I keep coming back to Chromium.

My point is that it's a big competition for him.

Bear has a development team and it's $1.49 monthly, even cheaper if you buy annually (I know that that it leverages iCloud, but even then - you can spend 1$ and get 50 gigs of storage to use for anything you want).

Not to even mention that there are so many alternatives. Markdown editor is the new todo app. Everybody is doing one, just look at this thread.

Yeah, but Bear has this huge following around it already and is OSX native, although it is missing e2e encryption support so Inkdrop has this going for it.

As for me I'm just using sublime text with a bunch of plugins and Markor on my phone. Resilio to sync between the devices.

> Electron Markdown editor with monthly subscription to boot.

Beautiful as it is, you're competing with Bear using the sub model, and my common sense to use buy-once native apps (like Sublime Text). This is a non-starter for me.
