Why the heck would I want that in an ebook reader?

Great, now you can write without all that tedious thinking about what you want to write and how to say it. Not really what I'm looking for in a blogging tool.

StreetComplete and MapComplete are pretty similar, though they each handle a different set of map features. I tend to use both: MapComplete for the destinations, and StreetComplete for the roads and paths connecting them.

Similar to StreetComplete, but handles a different set of map features. I use both to edit OSM, depending on what I'm mapping. SC is better for marking sidewalks, lighting, street parking or building info. MC is better for tagging what kind of EV charger is at a location, whether a place has public restrooms, etc. The mobile app seems to be basically a wrapper around the website app (which works well as a PWA), but that wrapper makes interactions like uploading photos more reliable.

I moved away from Simplenote a while ago, but only because I wanted to self-host as much of my cloud apps as I could, and Nextcloud Notes did almost everything I wanted. Otherwise it was a great alternative to Google Keep & iCloud Notes, and I'm kind of torn between sad that it's not being developed anymore and, well, it is simple - it doesn't really need more development outside of bug fixing. I guess the real question is how long Automattic will keep the sync service running, and there...

The linked WebProNews article doesn't seem to match the forum announcement or archives, the Hacker News discussion, or a year's worth of search results at Reddit or Hacker News. It's all about the reaction to a full service shutdown coming up in...July 2025...with only 30 days' notice...but dated today. With quotes from the forums about the short notice. I'm guessing someone saw the "no more development" discussion on Hacker News and directed an LLM to write an article and it hallucinated the...

Hex Fiend can open, search and edit multi-gigabyte files. Seriously. I mean, you need a machine with enough RAM for that, but I've been able to edit an 8+ GB file with zero slowdown. Most apps choke on that much data.

Does everything I need a file manager to do on my phone, and doesn't talk to anything over the network. No ads, no tracking.

Similar to Openvibe but supports more than one of each type of account, and doesn't try to combine them all into a single firehose. Same problem with cross-posting: the initial post is easy, but you have to copy your followups manually.

I've been running HeliBoard as a local-only replacement for GBoard on my phone for a couple of months now. I still have the clumsy-thumbs problem, but at least it's no worse. Unlike Fossify Keyboard, it does have auto-correct and auto-suggest, which helps. It's super-customizable and supports a ton of languages (notably missing Japanese and Chinese).

It's a bit of a pain to download the gestures library, and that part's not open source. But it does make it more of a drop-in replacement until...

So now you don't have to read the AI-generated websites yourself, since AI can read them for you.

The swiss army knife of image editors. You can do almost anything if you can find the feature. One of the few mobile image apps I've found that will preserve location metadata while editing (if you want it to), which makes it helpful for things like adjusting the contrast before uploading an observation to iNaturalist

The only real problem I've run into is that it shrinks images to the screen size when you crop them, which means losing detail unless youre...
