I'm surprised to see the properties I'm most interested in neither in these tests nor in plutoprints supported css. I'm talking about `text-wrap: pretty` (potentially avoid rivers and orpahns, depending on implementation), `orphans`, `widows` and the various `break-`.


I love that Jabref supports working with multiple libraries (having multiple open the same time, moving entries between). Best Zotero could do was restart with difference preference files (has that changed? haven't used it in some time).

And really like that Jabref syncing requires just syncing the library folder. Zotero syncing really nudges you to the paid plan. setting up webdav just isn't as simple and the list of supported providers isn't that long.

It really helped me that the backend is a plain bibtex file. I could resolve issues with it myself. I can also version libraries with git.


One would think. I have yet to find a spreadsheet program that doesn't mimic Excels behavior for automatic conversion up to the point of making it non-optional.


Are the gitjournal files compatible with Github/Gitlab wiki repos?

I have always used the builtin wiki from Github/Gitlab to achieve similar note taking. But attachments and links (to and between folders) are a pain to get right ;) So I'd be interested in an app that helps there.


It's fun once or twice a week. If it happens almost daily (maybe even multiple times a day) it get's much less enjoyable and way harder to meaningful fill with work.


Really interested in such lists. Though this one needs improvement. Just clicked through a bunch that were dated last week - the linked page was dated over a year ago and expired.


I'm on desktop and my machine is struggling to install(?!?) some IDE. So far i'm not sure what I'm (supposed to be) seeing, there doesn't appear to be any explanatory text.


By now I've become so accustomed to just copy the bold text from the line above it and paste, that it doesn't break me out anymore. I know I should concentrate and type it out, but in my head it has just become visual noise and a boring exercise.


Aha .. perhaps the interface can be changed to prevent copy-paste into that field.


Better would be to not show the repo name directly above the dialog at all so the user actually has to think a bit about what they need to enter. Just re-typing a text shown to you can be done on autopilot as well.


Reminds me on the (incorrect) origin story of kangaroo. https://www.woot.com/blog/post/the-debunker-where-does-the-w...


Which reminds me of the gavagai thought experiment illustrating the inscrutability of reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscrutability_of_reference#Ga...


I’m all for TUIs but for me anything that calls itself terminal oriented needs to work at 80ish character line length. It seems that many of the entries (especially the dashboards) need much longer lines to be useful - then sorry this should be a GUI.
