Thank you! This is very helpful. I didn’t see these but Lemmy search is sort of broken for me right now.

Oh great. Sorry that I didn’t dig in too much further than the front page of the website.

Oh, that is a really interesting question. I do think that there are some open source assistants that may offer some flexibility, but that’s not really how I personally use a phone so I wouldn’t have any answer. I found this article from a few years ago that seems to suggest it was and may be possible.

yeah, just looking through the notes, it looks like both devs care a lot about their project and just have different visions for what a “Complete” notes app should look like. It’s nice to see, because sometimes when you see a fork of a project it’s because someone abandoned it or there is some kind of community drama, but that doesn’t seem to be the case afaik.

Wow, this looks amazing. I’ll have to check it out to see how sharing/collaboration works though.

I also found a fork called NotallyX, which includes import functions from Keep and Evernote. Pretty useful for someone migrating.

What benefits do you find in particular that make it better than hosting yourself?

Wow, this has some neat features and it looks great on any size screen. I will be following this for sure

This is a very cool project! With a few minor developments this could meet my needs

Yep. You can pay with your data, you can pay a corporation, or you can pay open source developers directly.

If someone can’t afford to pay, or doesn’t believe in it, that’s fine, and that’s part of what open source is, which is amazing. But if you’re in a position to support foss developers, and they created something useful for you, I think it’s the least we can do.

I pay for all of the software that I use, and encourage others to do so as well. That’s not what this is at all. Pretty much the opposite effect.

Yes, exactly - The assumption that FOSS means that there is no financial support is practically archaic. I pay for any software that is useful to me, and many other people do too. There’s donations, perks, exclusive content that subsidizes the core work, there are grants, etc.

Free software can make money and be sustainable.

This is actually a pretty good analysis. I love that she clarifies it’s not a research paper, but a “canva infographic.” Spot on.

She doesn’t mention that the MBA professor who authored the infographic also seems to contract with FounderPartners, a VC consulting firm.

So this is really an ad for his side gig; “Pay us lots of money, and we’ll justify your layoffs with sciency mumbo jumbo.🌈😘📈”

Thunder is a solid app! I don’t believe that it has a display for large screens like PCs, but it is cross-platform in Android and iOS.

This directory also lists the dev for each app, and most of them are great at being responsive and helpful. Of course sometimes people get busy, but the development community has been great here.

Awesome! Have a look at the Lemmy Apps Directory if you are interested in comparing the features of existing apps. You should especially see the web apps section, which has some brilliant solutions to cross-platform and cross-device functionality.

Lemmy UI is only one option, although it is the default for most instances. There are a lot of different web clients, some of which will preserve settings:

Voyager

Tesseract

Quiblr

Photon

Mlmym (“old-lemmy”)

Alexandrite

I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I’ve seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo

Just googled the paper’s author. Yep, sure enough he seems to contract with “FounderPartners,” which describes itself as, " a team of serial entrepreneurs and M&A advisors."
