Cannot get this to work, I have the git version installed, but slangc error messages - have you got it working?
OK:
sudo cp ~/.local/kitty.app/bin/slangc /usr/bin/slangc
sudo cp ~/.local/kitty.app/lib/libslang-compiler.so.0.0.0.0 /usr/lib/
after installing with curl, northern-lights not working, but inside the matrix works.
Initial launch takes 10+ seconds and screws my Emacs (in terminal) big style 
Came across Linux Scoop. They installed a nice little Dock called Punchi Dock. Don’t need it but maybe for one of you
Linecast draws weather forecasts, Weather radar as well as moon phases, sunshine as well as maps directly within the terminal. Not that old as a project by itself but already looks very promising.
It’s available a the package linecast within the AUR already.
I’m currently tinkering around with it a little to achieve a view that combines its various standalone view modes (weather, sunshine, tides, radar) into a dedicated kitty window pane that bundles them into a single view.

Is this only for GitHub?
Can it work with Codeberg or other git-related packages/services?
Just did a search for it with Pacman.
It says “Git repository summary on your terminal”.
Should work with anything. Will try it.

Great helper for games that does not have pause! Only limitation is that game must run wayland version of Proton, but it is not really issue since it is just one flag on Steam.
In Niri I use this oneliner to detect focused window:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
wl-freeze -c “niri msg --json focused-window | jq ‘.pid’”
anyone using this ?
I have installed Firejail.
That is an interesting tool.
I will give it a spin and test it a bit when my task-list shrinks a a little.
i’m not sure if i am going to try it, some part of the code seems to be LLM based, i’d have to take a look on the source code before trying it.
I really like this one and gave it a try, i like the fallback menu for apps that doesnt support the global menu
Nice find. No more application title bar AND menu bar. Looks fine so far
Just found out about Privacy Notes. It’s a great app, BUT…
Why does every app outside Obsidian use this database fkry?
Why can’t one of these developers build something that doesn’t work like proprietary software? A database that only works in one app that is inaccessible unless using that app might as well be a proprietary file format. I can secure my data on my own, please and thanks. Meanwhile, Obsidian, which is in fact proprietary, works like it’s open source.
I’d like a notes app that works on Linux and Android, with full markdown features, and without vendor lock-in (which is what this database crap is, disguised as security). At least, that’s how I see it. I see it as a way to get users to stay, plain and simple.
Also, apparently, even when you don’t sign up for their service and choose to be “fully offline,” there is still a 50 MB storage limit? Is that built into the app, or are my notes not actually fully offline? Uninstalled (deleted, actually - AppImage).
PS: If my two gripes with the app aren’t a bother to you, this app has EVERYTHING.
You can replace all your mini apps with this one app. To-dos, notes, writing, calorie/health tracking, etc. It’s a massive all-in-one app.
AND, it allows you to import your notes from many of the most popular apps in this space, Obsidian and Notesnook included.
Anyway, here ends my endorsement and bashing of Privacy Notes 
And all the devs that publish these database-style notes apps.
Ended up asking Brave for alternatives, and guess what, I found one.
It looks like a combo of Obsidian and VSCode but doesn’t use Electron!
Will test it out and edit this later.
So, what is the experience like? Well, not bad.
Howver, there is no built-in spellchecking or autocorrect. Notice that previous sentence starts with “Howver” and not “However”. There is no indication that I’ve made a mistake when using the app.
The next missing feature is tabbed note editing. Tabs simply don’t exist. There is an option to open a note in a new window, but this is suboptimal, and if you’re using Openbox, like I currently am, the window decorations disappear and cannot be added to that new window. Maybe this wouldn’t be the case in KDE, as an example.
Next up: Though you are writing in markdown, the spacing of lines feels like an RTF editor by default. Lines are double-spaced (or 1.6 in settings) when you press Enter is the default.
It’s fast! Search is instant. Editing and going about the UI is fast. It launches quickly.
There is also the option to use custom icons for your folders within the UI, which is useful on big projects to differentiate a folder with Characters apart from Scenes, or Research apart from Locations, and so on.
The UI itself is not some awesome writer’s wet dream, but it’s not clunky. It can even get out of your way with a Focus Mode. It has basic themes as well for both light and dark modes.
Note/File linking works as expected.
And, of course, you can use the rich preview or the source view so that what you’re typing is what you expect. Though, as I write this particular feature in the source view to test it, I see that the cursor is about five characters ahead of the actual text I’m writing. This makes it so that navigating to a particular line/word becomes a guessing game. A bug, I guess.
So, what is the experience like? Same as before - no bad
All the issues are the same. The source view mode is bugged and the other issues.
There is an additional issue in that choosing “Custom” for the location of your notes does not find any file you already have in the location. If, however, you choose “Internal”, then copy your notes to that location, /storage/emulated/0/HelixNotes, then it will pick up all your notes.
Workaround found: Choose “Custom” but don’t enter the full path to the folder with all your files. Instead, enter the path the the folder just above that. Then, in the “Vault name” section, enter the name of the folder with your files.
Example:
Instead of entering/storage/emulated/0/SyncFolder/MyNotes, enter `/storage/emulated/0/SyncFolder", then enter “MyNotes” into the Vault name section.The reason this doesn’t work as expected is because of the “Vault name” section. Whether you select one of the three default folder locations (Documents, Downloads, Internal Storage) or you select “Custom”, an actual Vault name is required, and this will always create a new sub-folder, unless the folder already exists.
Same as above. There is no real difference in the Android version in terms of positives.
At its current early stage, HelixNotes can meet many users’ needs if they are searching for open-source alternatives to Obsidian that don’t lock the user into using one app (interoperability), while also being available on desktop and mobile.
I’ll be keeping it around without actually switching to it. There are just too many things I’d be missing from Obsidian on Linux - all of which I could use on Android as well. And Kate is currently irreplaceable for when I need it.
I’ll maybe put in some bug reports and/or feature requests to help its development.
In any case, the app is new and off to a mostly good start.
PS: HelixNotes is more in line with what I want/need from my notes app, so I will test it out more and more, probably replacing Markor with it for Quick Notes, then eventually seeing if I can replace Obsidian as it gets better.
Joplin is nice BTW.
Answer is simple tho. They all use exact same thing inside with differen fronends.
It does. As I mention before, all this note taking apps literally same js code not allways even differently themed.
Not CherryTree tho.
My work here is done
Joplin can be as nice as it wants.
So long as the app makes it difficult to edit my notes if I am not using the app, like if I wanted to use Kate (Linux) or Markor (Android) on a random day, then the app is a no-no for me.
Eventually, I’d like to get an app and stick to it on both platforms so that database lock-in doesn’t matter. But the issue is that all of these apps are missing a feature that I would like to have, Obsidian included, and as a result, it’s unlikely that I’ll never only use one app.
Understendable. But it is just the nature of it.
When you have complex info it is not easily representable or editable as text.
Like, just use folders with markdown files instead?
You probably looking for markdown editor instead of notes app.
Meaning HelixNotes uses Electron?
I mean, it looks like it does, but using it now, it doesn’t feel like it does. It’s fast. And the dev said he didn’t want something with Electron, so he made an app.

What I Actually Wanted
It turned out to be pretty simple:
UpNote's clean, intuitive UI Obsidian's philosophy - local .md files, no cloud, no lock-in A lightweight desktop app that is not built on Electron Open source, so you can verify what it does with your dataThat app didn’t exist. So I built it.
Not sure why you would say that knowing that Obsidian exists. The only three drawbacks Obsidian has that make me not use it for everything:
It has everything else. I can:
For me, I just want to find something that is like Joplin, which is open source, but like Obsidian in allowing me to edit my notes with what I feel like.
