  • The goal for OSS projects is always different. Many projects solve a problem for the developer(s) and them alone. They don’t care about it ‘thriving’ or adding features that don’t align with that problem.

    I find it confusing when people complain that other people won’t spend time implementing things that they want. If you want feature A, fork the project and add it. I appreciate that’s easier said than done, but if you can’t or won’t do that, stop complaining about what other people do with their time.

    Not all software is the same. Get used to them being different.






  • I settled on Raindrop.io which is free but I paid to support it ($30 a year I think). I had to change my workflow slightly and the Obsidian integration is not as great as Omnivore’s, but it wasn’t a pain. The browser integration is really good and I prefer it to Omnivore’s. It supports RSS and has a decent mobile app.

    Overall I think it’s a decent replacement and I’m happy.

    I tried Wallabag but the Obsidian integration was poor and Wallabag felt unloved recycle by extension made me question it’s future (which is unfair given my limited time with it). There was a trial which was not enough time for me to evaluate it comfortably.













  • Been using this for about 3 months or so. The one piece missing is good swipe word recognition - its really poor compared to Gboard even after this amount of time. I spend more time correcting words than I saved nor typing them. Used swipe with Gboard for many years previously so I know hope swipe works.

    Any suggestions on how to improve it?
