I think one thing that is missing from emacs/org-mode is the mobile integration. There are apps that handle some features of org-mode on mobile, but probably missing features of the desktop version. Currently, I manage my notes only on the desktop because I haven't found a good companion on mobile.


If you have Android, emacs is now officially supported on Android (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.gnu.emacs). Along with https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard, it turns out to be a pretty usable (assuming you are the type that is okay working with emacs in general). I am now in search of a simple way to sync notes between my phone and computer (without using Big Tech solutions).

Syncthing?


It’s crazy that an extension is needed to fix this. When I first saw that “feature” I thought it was some bug and YouTube would fix soon, but they don’t seem to care about it.


I’m still using as a secondary device, but the battery was never the same after I replaced, and the touch id/home button doesn’t work anymore, so I have to use that virtual home button.

I ended up getting a newer SE (2022), but I miss the first one.


Thanks for rdx, it’s the way I use reddit nowadays.

I have only used OffChess briefly but one feature request I have is to remove the possible path of the piece when clicking on it (like Lichess).

Another improvement would be the placement of the “next puzzle” button, that seems to be in a crowded place.


Updates are coming to rdx as well and thanks for your feedback on OffChess, will look into your suggestions definitely.


Thanks for sharing this, not very discoverable, I think. The first issue I got is that I can't remove extensions from the sidebar.

It seems to be fine, though. I wish they'd make a better tab switcher, something like Mac OS's Spotlight, maybe improve the `Ctrl+L + % + space` thig.


I tried to use it but I found the UI/UX confusing, with many exercises lacking images too. I support the idea but the workflow was not for me.

I settled with Iron for iOS, which is also free software despite the platform it runs. Still looking for an equivalent on Android, the LiftLog app seems to have potential, but I think the UI is not that great.


I've been lifting for ten years thereabouts. Used JEFIT, Hevy, and Strong throughout that time.

I've given up on apps completely and log with a reMarkable.

All of these apps use their own data schemas, which makes normalizing the data for export into something like Google Sheets really hard. Consequently, you're locked into those apps and whatever design choices they choose to implement.

Moreover, I don't like using my phone when I'm at the gym, and, well, they're phone apps.


I like Liftosaur, which appears to have an Android version on the Play store.


Tried a little bit, it seems nice, but it is a bity janky on iOS. Feels like I'm using a web app, and some features require subscription/account.


i use fitnotes on android, it's not foss but there is no tracking and absolutely no internet connection if you don't enable cloud backup.

the ui is old but effective.


It would be great if they consider power purchasing parity to make the service more accessible for developing countries.


My impression is that pricing of kagi is already close to cost price (plus salaries).

I think we are entering an era, where these things will just not be available to people in developing countries, as they cost more than they can pay. Especially taking Ai into consideration.

However, we could start paying fair prices for produce like clothes.


I guess... Still a positive thing that they are trying to make their product/service more "fair", and are progressing in a good direction?


Yeah, I mean it's a positive move, I suppose (though, if this is a _common_ thing, then they have other problems, because clearly the people involved aren't using it as a search engine), but it's a strange way to market it.


This guy is now behind two of the products that I wish the most: the Small Android Phone and the Pebble watch. I hope they succeed! :)


I signed up for updates from https://smallandroidphone.com/ back in 2022 and have seen nothing since :( I think it's dead.


Do you have a link to the 'Small Android Phone'?



Which phone is this? I recently got a Unihertz Jelly Star 2 as it was the only decent "small Android" option I found while researching.


I like the idea of their products, but I just wish Unihertz wasn't so sketchy -- they refuse to release any kernel sources. (Which is in direct violation of the GPL!)


Thank you for mentioning this detail again.

I generally remember that there's some problematic issue with Unihertz but often seem to manage to forget exactly which issue it is.

Non-compliance with the GPL is frustratingly common (over a huge range of company sizes too).

Not at helped by the fact that the community managed to (stupidly) burn bridges with the one person who seemed to be effecting actual change within Chinese companies with regard to GPL compliance.


Trying this since YouTube just started blocking my ad blocker. It seems to be working well on Linux.

I didn't find a feedback button on the app itself, so if the authors are reading, some things I miss from using YouTube's website:

- Videos in new tabs; - Search bar always visible.


I also noticed that Youtube prevents me from watching videos on their site starting today because I have an adblocker (uBlockOrigin) installed.


Same here. But for the time being, I can just click away the modal (don't click any of the buttons) and the video starts anyway. I assume that will change soon.
