syncing-server VS sway

Thanks for this tip, done https://github.com/standardnotes/syncing-server/issues/201

My best choice is Tasks.org but its only available for mobile OSs. My other choice is just using Standard Notes with extensions, but its todo extension is really not that good, my main complaint is the lack of sub tasking ability and the fact I cant assign a task a date.

I think there are more specific and sophisticated tools for doing that. Check out Standard Notes.

Best IMHO is https://standardnotes.org Can be self-hosted

Hi u/zcyph, I'm glad that you were able to figure out the answer to your first question! For providing more exposure to this question and others, feel free to create a thread on our syncing-server repo. 🙂 Please don't worry about it being considered as spam. I'm sure other users will find your threads helpful!

I like to take notes and document step by step while working on a project. I used https://standardnotes.org/ for that

I heartily recommend, and use every day, Standard Notes. Totally free, strong encryption. Get involved.

As for being in the US, here are our thoughts on that. You can self-host your data with a server in the EU if you'd like. 🙂

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
