borg-repository-explorer VS hypothesize

I was annoyed that I had to install FUSE on my Mac just to be able to browse my Borg backup repositories, so I made a GUI with the help of ChatGPT and Copilot: https://github.com/Netruk44/borg-repository-explorer

I really don't expect this to ever make money, I just had a need and a desire to learn/explore how Electron works (Sorry! I know people hate it for how heavy it is, hah).

I haven't touched it in years, but during grad school I created a fully operational browser-based app for integrated note-taking and reference management for academic projects, based on locally stored markdown files, and designed to minimize attentional breaks: https://github.com/rkp8000/hypothesize .

I ended up using it for the remainder of my PhD; however, it was unfortunately a bit too easy to accidentally delete an entire note document, and I never got around to fixing it (although at least one other person ended up using it as the primary tool for their grad studies also :) ).

It definitely earned me no more than $0/month.

In grad school I made a browser-based app in django to try to integrate note-taking and reference management as seamlessly as possible, having been fairly disappointed with existing software. Basically, it's kind of wiki-like, except links open in place by default so you don't lose your place jumping between pages.

I got it working well enough to use for the entirety of my PhD but don't really use it anymore just because it's still fairly clunky in certain ways.

I have zero time to continue working on it, but I do still kind of like the idea and would be thrilled if someone else picked it up!
