MSEdge VS notion-auto-pull

Download Edge Dev from https://microsoftedgeinsider.com

Very much not open source, except maybe some pieces, the repo is just a damn readme and an MIT license (???), like "oh yeah, thanks, let me fork your readme, it's always been my dream"

It was never in that repository as confirmed by the commit log: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge/commits/master

No. Microsoft Edge is fully open-source: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge. It even has an MIT license.

I'm distrustful of Microsoft as well. That said, Microsoft is changing and it is best to keep oneself updated on what Microsoft is saying and doing in regard to Open Source. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge

Not exactly. Chromium, which edge is based on, itself is open source, but the microsoft browser has too much hidden tracking stuff to be open source. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge

Just showing the github means nothing. Microsoft Edge has a github, but it just has a readme and an "MIT" license. The actual thing isn't open source.

> What exactly is keeping developers from making a fully featured open source web browser not at the mercy of Google or the browser's developers?

It is incredibly difficult to build a web browser because of the sheer complexity and scope. You are essentially building an entire platform on the scale of an operating system that must support legacy features and behavior from decades ago. Users expect everything to just work, and if you can't make it work, then they have little incentive to use your product. Just ask Microsoft[0].

My perfection had a name: Notion.

I manage my non-work and work-adjacent tasks in Notion. Whenever I have an idea, regardless of how big or small or silly or achievable it is, I'll add it to Notion, and use labels to categorise it by type of output (e.g. blog, silly project, website update). Today I wanted to write a short post for my site. I clicked on the filtered blog post view, and selected this one (because I hoped it would be a quick one!).

Notion.so redefines workspaces. With its intelligent organization and collaboration features, it's more than a productivity tool—it's a digital haven. Discover the art of streamlined and efficient teamwork.

A quote as I could not directly send a discord screenshot and am not sure that people want to make an account at notion.so simply to see the FAQ:

I work on a large SPA: https://notion.so

It’s a document editing application. A document title might occur in the browser’s titlebar, in the header of the main editor, in a “mention” (a link to the document), and in multiple places in the user’s sidebar - like in both their “Favorites” section and in the the contents of their team.

When the user edits the document title, we need to update all those UI bits to render the new title. I have a hard time imagining some imperative code that iterates over all the possible views that may render a title to mutate them.

Notion (Notion.so) is an all-in-one workspace where you can write, plan, collaborate and get organized - it allows you to take notes, add tasks, manage projects & more. Imagine a lego structure. Notion provides the building blocks and you can create your own layouts and toolkit to get work done.

I think Notion (notion.so) is a good tool for managing Captain's Log games (and RPG games in general) but there is a bit of a learning curve. If there is interest, I would consider writing a more detailed tutorial on how to use Notion for Captains Log (as I figure the game out). I'd also recommend Thomas Frank's website and youtube channel for tutorials on how to use Notion.

my personal thoughts: regardless of how many people prefer not to believe it, and the fact that some startups do use non-dotcom (Notion owns notion.com by the way, but still redirects to notion.so - i suspect it's because it's too much of a hassle to do so rather than .so being their preferred TLD), the truth is that the .com still has a certain brand allure to it to mainstream consumers. personally i paid 10k for my startup's .com even though the other TLDs were cheap as hell (which i also bought anyway). i thought it was crazy expensive, but i still felt it was money well spent for the branding.
