  • Joplin

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

    Project mention: Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-25

    I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/

    You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.

    One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)

    Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M

  • awesome-electron

    Useful resources for creating apps with Electron

    Project mention: Ask HN: Any Good Electron.js Resources? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-31

    Looking for great boilerplate, OAuth, live-audio streaming with backend, live updating components, checking if a meeting had opened on Teams/Zoom, and beyond the awesome list examples (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-electron) of apps people have built!

  • Quasar Framework

    Quasar Framework - Build high-performance VueJS user interfaces in record time

    Project mention: An Overview of 25+ UI Component Libraries in 2023 | dev.to | 2023-09-10

    Quasar: It does not consider itself a library, but more of a framework. That, in my eyes is a bit confusing as it is based on Vue, but the idea is that you can use it to create websites and apps, meaning it uses a CLI to generate different outputs for web, mobile, desktop, SPA (Single Page Apps), SSR (Server Side Rendering), and more.
