blake, to random

seems nice in concept, apart from it running in the browser and its community spread to the fucking wind. How on earth am I supposed to find cool themes or plugins (which are completely necessary to reasonably use it, particularly for SAVING)?

I found a plugin that supposedly let me save over S3 but it seems to only work with S3, so I can't save to Backblaze. There's also an official plugin for saving to browser internal storage, but that doesn't help me access it from my phone, if I wanted to.

What's the point if I have to host a server or connect it to Google to use it anyway? Why not spin up, say, MediaWiki? Or a Google doc or site?

Or a local notebook app like Paper, Obsidian, or Logseq.

This is pretty big news for developers. You can use RustRover for FREE for non-commercial scenarios, including hobby projects and open-source.

blake,

@khalidabuhakmeh I see the appeal of JetBrains IDEs and I've used Android Studio (which is one of them) and it's nice, but it gives me the ick because of that commercial-non-commercial model, and also the severe lack of plugins compared to VS Code, or even (Neo)Vim or Emacs.

Also, and it's I guess more personal preference than anything else, I'd much rather stick to one IDE that handles pretty much whatever I want to do with it. It also helps that I'm more comfortable in the command line...
