  • I’ve given this app a go and like it. I’ve been on the search for a replacement to obsidian, but haven’t landed on anything yet. Is built in sync on the roadmap?

    I like Obsidian storing everything as markdown files that I can edit outside of the application. I’m not so much a fan of the do-it-yourself obsidian live sync because it’s a fairly fragile setup and involves updating plugins and settings across multiple vaults and multiple devices.

    Affine and Trillium go the database route. They are both decent (though affine handles tables poorly, while trillium’s mobile PWA UI has navigation issues), but with both I have real difficulty importing an Obsidian vault keeping the folder structure and images intact.







  • There are always trade offs.

    I would love to main a Linux phone, as I’m sure many here would. But the present trade offs are too great.

    NFC payments are extremely convenient, especially when managing multiple cards - some of which are virtual. It’s a service I had, then went without for awhile, and then appreciate having back again.

    I understand my initial comment makes it seem like I never carry a wallet true - which is not true - and liking Google Wallet is akin to saying “but I just like smoking” (in this community).

    It’s great that you don’t find it as convenient, which means the trade off isn’t as substantial for you. However for my 5 days a week commuting it’s a load off.






  • A few things come to mind

    1. Is this much different from the “reading view” popularized by Instapaper, reading later, etc and now baked into most browsers today?
    2. What is a token?
    3. How is it that tokens have become the base unit on which we denominate LLM work/effort/task difficulty/cost?
    4. Does every LLM model make use of “tokens” or is it just one or a select few?
    5. If multiple use the idea of tokens, is a token with one LLM/provider equivalent to a token with a different LLM/provider?
