  • Obviously you can do a SEPA transfer as well, but it’s not instant and you have to type a long number and don’t have a consistently good user experience. Bank apps lack good UX. Stuff like “send this friend 5 bucks again, this is his profile picture” and are a pain to log into.

    I don’t say I like paypal or banks, i actually dont like either. But paypal is just more convenient.


















  • Right, obsidian didn’t appeal to me since it’s proprietary.

    I probably will look into setting up a Joplin server and maybe write a frontend for it. Also didn’t try frontend options on PC yet.

    Until now I only tried the Android app and while it looked quite mature, I didn’t get quite the UX from it I was anticipating.

    Some things that bothered me:

    • Creating a note requires 2 clicks, 1 should be fine.I want to start writing and decide whether its a todo later.

    • Tag management. In Keep #tags are parsed from text automatically. Although there is a conflict with markdown syntax, having to issue 3 clicks to add a tag seems bothersome

    • Tags are not shown in the main menu, but are another view.

    • Didn’t figure out what notebooks are supposed to be, but i guess some kind of directory system. Don’t see the point when having a tag system. In the end they are too prominent in the UI.

    But the synchronization options and markdown capabilities are a big plus. mardown is actually a feature missing in keep.
