That's what I initially thought too, though having read and understood little of the article, is sqlite not a consideration too? Or does it take up too much memory?

I think they mean Flutter, and Darts truly cross platform abilities.

I'm not agreeing with that assessment but recently:

Among others. Again I'm not saying I agree, I'm just saying you don't see the same with Go.

Out of interest, why are people so confident in Google when it comes to Go, yet every other day there's articles about how Google can't be trusted in related to Dart/Flutter which are soon to be abandoned?

hgyjnbdet — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 17:03:53 +0000

I struggled with understanding web frameworks, though I didn't struggle understanding the basics of plain JS, html, and CSS. CSS kind of just made sense for me.

In the end I settled on dart/flutter for frontend.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really a beginner to dart/flutter. I found dart extremely easy to pick up but flutter has a steeper learning curve.

I'll definitely be checking this out, but think, similar to JavaScript and it's frameworks, learning the underlying technology first will give me a better insight into what this is doing.

Good luck with both this and your business.

There's loads of these types of tools popping around dart/flutter (flutterflow, etc). Nearly all of them are subscription based.

This seems decent, and free, after a quick look, where's the catch?

If it was real RoyD would have asked for it to be reset to Mickey1928. Anything else and MarkP would have known it was a scam.

I suppose a side effect might be employee loyality, which might be a good thing. And the wealth disparity we have now is obscene. But all this is predicated on the company doing well, where's the story about the companies set up like this that struggle or fail? Are the employees worse off than those in a traditional company?

New comment by hgyjnbdet in "What App to Use for Notes?"

hgyjnbdet — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 18:26:31 +0000

I have used many open source notes taking apps. My goto used to be Zim Desktop Wiki [0] but its just a desktop app and the was no built in sync solution. On mobile I used Markor [1] which understood Zims syntax, as well as markdown.

Due to lack of mobile client and built in sync options I moved to Joplin [2]. Its markdown, cross platform, and i can sync with WebDav. People don't like that its SQLite based, but honestly worse com to worse your notes are an export away, or you can just open the database yourself. Im happy with it.

I always recommend Treesheets [3] though, excellent for brainstorming/rapid note taking.

I suppose my question would be why would I use this over a normal calendar/task app that uses the iCal spec and paying for a caldav service?

I might be wrong but you'd need to install pandoc-crossref and add it as a filter in Zettlr, somewhere in the pandoc preferences. Then use pandoc-crossref's syntax on the equations.

New comment by hgyjnbdet in "The one person in America happy about tipping fatigue"

hgyjnbdet — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 14:04:32 +0000

I'm not American, and the culture here wasn't to tip everyone for doing their job, but I don't mind it if I feel the food and service were good. But presented with a screen suggesting I tip, with/out a suggested amount, is pretty much a guarantee I'm not tipping. If I tip I want to make sure it's going to the people I want to tip.

Quarto appears a popular alternative, out of interest is anyone using Zettlr?

I saw this come up today in a different thread.

I'm a mature undergrad, I've never used LaTeX, actively avoided it in fact and am forced to produce word documents. My current workflow is pandoc style markdown and obviously pandoc for conversion, with zotero for citations. I make use of pandoc-crossref for figures, tables, sections, etc.

I'm hopefully moving to a different uni for a masters this year. Can anyone who uses typst comment on whether I should consider moving from my fairly complicated workflow to typst?
