Standard Notes.

Simple. Free. Open Source. E2E encryption. Basically, No frills.

Their idea is to make software not with most features but the one that stays until the next century.

They have a great blog on this philosophy. https://standardnotes.com/longevity

i feel it's a great example of software that doesn't get in your way.

I would've love to write about how awesome it is but came across this wonderful essay regarding the same titled _"Computers as I used to love them"_ [0]. Highly checking it out.

$1 for 3-5yrs sounds like a great idea.

at this point it's more than just money.

lichess is my go example for what you can do with community driven open source software.

Thankyou for making this

Thank You! I needed this all my life!

I've just had the deja Vu reading this post! Took me a minute to realise, I did actually come across this post and your blog some time ago, and really enjoyed reading all the posts then and now again! Hoping to read more from you!

Have you ever come across some topic of history or biology that just seemed soo boring at the time it was taught in school. But only years later watching some random YouTube video explaining it and now you realise how interesting it has always been.

Or better reply

Been using this as for more than year. Super impressed and highly recommend.

On rare occasions there's an issue with finding online instances where you reach deadlinks but that's so rare and otherwise it's all perfect.

This is the right approach! If everyone decides to stay silent it will only make more companies adopt this.

The shit needs to be called out!

Thank you (:

Which year was this ? Can you share more information regarding this ?

This has to be the most unpopular opinion so far

I have a few questions for you

1. How long have you been doing this ? 2. What do you think of other (not just monetization) ways ads are bad as in bloating the web, privacy and security issues ? 3. What if you truly need to access a website but it has too many ads ? You give up ? Use adblock ? Continue with ads ?

This is the way

Some time ago, I was searching for a no frills keyboard app and this was just perfect for me.

Stands for its name absolutely simple!

Sad to see it go!

Sorry! But you never know.

Didn't knew this! Would be pretty useful I guess.

Did you never get a smartphone (in a way most people do) or have you gone back to good ol days ?

If former, what other ways you've adapted for essential stuff that need a smart device.

If later, do you ever plan on getting a smartphone again ?

This would be an interesting watch, I tried searching but couldn't find it, can you share the name of the movie?

really interesting, thanks for commenting

Totally agree with this one, was expecting some sort of visual demonstration or walkthrough about core features and how to use them.

As said in post this is still under construction, so this is where it can be improved.

> The type of articles I like the most are those when someone takes a ridiculous amount of time to explain something mundane.

I have been thinking about this for a while and it now just clicks.

I was using ditto then later found clipdiary[0]

It was super easy to customise and once I'd setup shortcuts for everything, never needed to open the app window in 2+yrs
