I could see it being handy for work, sometimes when designing parts I’ll find a component that looks like a good fit but will forget to note it down or bookmark it.
Summarizing previous conversations with a customer for support via email/chat would also be nice, so I don’t have to manually go through a bunch of threads to remember what products they have and such.
It’s one of those things where some changes can be pretty easy with minimal fuss and they work essentially the same, switching away from Chrome for example.
But some things are very involved and take a lot of work, and experience will suffer because features will be missing or the alternatives are buggier. Trying to switch to Matrix instead of Discord and Telegram for example was something I gave up on really quickly, it’s just not there yet for me.
Lemmy is kind of in the middle for me, usability is generally as good as reddit, but instances are often slow or down so comments/replies don’t post properly, images will load slowly, videos often not at all.
Yeah, shotwell looks good if you’re a single user and already have all your images stored locally, although if you wanted face tagging DigiKam is also a local only photo management app that does some more advanced stuff.
