    I’ve tried a ton, and DeltaChat came close, but there is no edit option for messages, since under the hood, it uses email. The apps on both iPhone and Android also had issues with notifications. I convinced a few family members and friends to use it and then had to convince them again to move to Signal. Lost a few of them in the process.

    The point of my story is to say… If you think you’ll have a hard time convincing people to get off WhatsApp/Texting, just go to Signal. It is much more mainstream and at least it isn’t Facebook.

    Tech-savvy content creators, sure…

    Your average content creator that wants to make Minecraft videos? Unrealistic.

    I hate the monopoly Youtube has, but all of the federated alternatives have a learning curve the general public isn’t willing to deal with.

    I was using Joplin for a while… Self hosted their server. On two occasions it screwed up on me and wouldn’t load my folders… Luckily I had backups but it was still frustrating. I don’t recommend them purely because the notes are stored in a custom format instead of just plain text files.

    My favorite way of doing notes now is with git, currently using a free private repo on gitlab.

    Just clone the repo on whatever PC I need them and it has backups and version control.

    Then use GitJournal on my phone.

    It’s perfect for me. I love it.

    Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

    Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.
