Reviewed JrnlJrnl is a great way to take and manage notes.
Reviewed AthensLooks good for notes.
Commented on ghostwriterThe download link no longer works. Here's another: https://launchpad.net/~wereturtle/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
Reviewed ZettlrThe Vim editing mode has some issues...
Reviewed MetroidRetro feel, reminiscent of the older games and Super Metroid in particular.
Reviewed Regolith LinuxLast time I checked it out, Regolith was was easy way to get a decent i3 set-up. I think I would prefer if it were built around xfce or something other than gnome, however.
Reviewed OdyseeOdysee is LBRY. lbry.com says "use LBRY in your browser, with odysee.com"
Reviewed ScrivenerNote: it's still possible to find the scrivener.appimage for Linux as of August 2022
Commented on SpaceFMlight-weight and has up to four viewports
Reviewed DuckDuckGoRespectful of the user and better results than Google search.
Reviewed Google SearchAds, tracking, poor results.
Reviewed MPVLightweight and simple, MPV is a command line application with a "pseudo-gui" that allows for drag & drop playback. Highly flexible in the terminal or using custom scripts.
Commented on Note BoardNo privacy policy in evidence @ https://www.noteboardapp.com/
It's unclear what the terms of use are, how and where data is stored, or what security protocols are in place.
Commented on ManuskriptAs of version 0.9.0-1, does not display properly on Linux Mint (and possibly other distros with non-Qt-based desktops, including Manjaro); i.e., missing icons, incorrectly themed elements. Known to affect Cinnamon, XFCE, & Manjaro Gnome.
Commented on nvPYCross-platform clone of Notational Velocity.
Reviewed NovelistAlthough Scrivener, Manuskript, et al, are similar in principle, they are desktop-only applications, whereas Novelist is designed for Android; consequently, the other options provided here (as of 8/10/19) are not truly alternatives so much as substitutes for other platforms.
