The Lost Apps of the 80s

  Micro Emacs in D

  

  I still use microEmacs, which floated around the intertoobs in the 1980s. Of course, I've modified it substantially over the years, most recently adding color syntax highlighting and Unicode.

  D version:

  https://github.com/DigitalMars/med

  C version:

  https://github.com/DigitalMars/me

  The "extension language" is it's so easy to just add some code and recompile it, there's no point in adding an extension language.

  I like microEmacs a lot because I can use it remotely over a tty interface.

  Within the context of the Microsoft-verse, Fluid Framework (https://fluidframework.com) is supposed to be solving similar problems in web apps, although I haven't personally played with it.

  Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

  Yes, absolutely.

  I have to mention Joplin here, which became my note-taking app after a lot of research. There are certainly more powerful apps, but Joplin is open source, runs on all devices, (Windows, Linux, Android and iOS in my case), syncs data via Nextcloud or Dropbox, and supports E2E-encryption. It also allows inserting images directly into the notes, which I found cumbersome with other markdown-based note apps.

  The developer is also very active and adds useful features and bugfixes very regularly. Definitely worth the few bucks I donate every month.
