Me and my friend just want something to brainstorm and write our ideas down on. Cryptpad is a decent I’ve considered, it has rich text editing which I don’t need though it’s nice.
Simple is often erroneously mistaken for easy. “Easy” means “to be at hand”, “to be approachable”. “Simple” is the opposite of “complex” which means “being intertwined”, “being tied together”. Simple != easy.
Though several apps that use the Tox protocol seem similar in function to regular instant messaging apps, the lack of central servers similar to XMPP or Matrix currently has the consequence that both parties of the chat need to be online for the message to be sent and received (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tox_(protocol)#Usability_as…#Usability_as_an_instant_messenger) )
That’s why I think about using only decentralized protocol.
Both (decentralized and p2p) are usefull, but that not the same usage.
I can do it for myself because I’m a geek (but I don’t want to), but if I say to my friends/colleagues that they need another smartphone at home they are going to look at me like I’m crazy !! 🫣
But I think of no-technical guys and I think that create a channel and share the link is already to complex! I mean, I can teach them that, but that’s not obvious as Signal or similar app.

Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too)....
Nothing is perfect and a phone cannot make happy every one (is there a jack or not …). But I’m happy that they try to make a good phone with all the hidden things in mind (from where come from the rough material, who is making the pieces and in which conditions …). That’s more important for me then the final product.
insomnia just enshittified itself and requires cloud login like postman, and force upgrades you from the old version even if you disable updates. this blocked me at work today....
J’ai découvert ça hier et le teste depuis, ça demande un temps d’apprentissage mais c’est rare de voir de vrais nouveautés dans le milieu des claviers tactiles (même si le principe de 8Pen n’est pas nouveau)....
Hello, j’ai découvert très récemment aussi. J’aime bien l’idée mais je ne suis pas encore convaincu, par exemple les accent son long à avoir, l’ordre des lettres en français me parait très bizarre genre le y avant le b. Et la ponctuation qui est un peu “loin” aussi.
C’est l’éternel problème du “trop ouvert”. Par contre je suis dubitatif sur le choix de leur ‘prestataire de compte’. Mais comme ils le disent, Jitsi reste open source et reste hébergeable ailleurs.
Salut à tous, mon utilisation des votes pour l’instant c’est : +1 intéressant pour moi, -1 pas intéressant pour moi et souvent je ne vote pas.
C’est quelque chose que j’apprécie de pouvoir faire mais j’ai une question à ce propos, est-ce que c’est possible de masquer les post qu’on a bas-voté comme on peut le faire avec les sujets lu ?
