Joplin is more directly comparable. The apps are open source and it offers sync with all kinds of targets. It monetises through a source available sync server (i.e you can run your own but you arent allowed to run it commercially) hosted by Joplin (Joplin Cloud)

For transparency im directly involved with Joplin as a volunteer (less so in recent months admittedly) so yeah, im a bit biased.

That would be Forgejo. Codeberg is the hosting service which already existed running Gitea before it forked it and started developing it as Forgjo and moving to it from Gitea.

There is Distbin but its been dead for years with no active forks that i can find

Heliboard which is an active fork of OpenBoard.

I have a whole bunch of these:

• DevTerm
• uConsole
• GameShell
• BeepBerry
• PocketCHIP
• PICOmputer 28

Non-Linux:

• Hand386
• Book 8088
• Forth Deck
• T-Deck

I’m looking at getting a couple more as well. Honestly I don’t have much use for any of them but my favourite and the one I have used practically the most is my DevTerm. I love the style, the screen, its just a really fun little device.

Needs more AI

Not OP but I would say because it is a smaller list where if you want to donate and make a big difference to the project then you know it is good to give money to pretty much anyone other than the over funded ones.

Pinetab 2? https://pine64.com/product-category/pinetab/

I have an older, second hand Thinkpad Yoga but it has served me really well with Fedora installed on it.

I also have a PineTab 2 but that has been a little bit of a rough start and still doesn’t feel that great as a day to day device just yet

Honesyly I think I prefer the laptop form factor over tablet + smart cover. Even my old Android Asus Transformer I used almost exclusively in laptop mode to do anything productive.

Willing to give this a go. My go-to for getting non-repo debs automatically has been deb-get which works well but seems susceptible to issues when changes in the software it lists causes it to break and whilst the fix itself is usually made pretty quickly, it seems to go long periods of time between PR merges and releases (which includes adding new software). If this is a viable replacement for it then i’d love to start using it.

I’ve just moved to Thunderbird. I was never keen on the old design and found it rather clunky but the new UI I find much better.

I was using Mailspring but it has recently just refused to work on my device and I never even got a response on the community forums so I’ve just given up on it.

Pulsar is a fork of Atom under active development. We don’t publish a flatpak (yet) but there is a community maintained flatpak for it.

Otherwise if you want to look at something else I’d give Lite XL, Lapce or even Zed (it has now been open sourced and looks like it has a flatpak available) a look as interesting alternatives.

Pulsar is the current maintained fork of that project, we forked it before it got shut down and are actively developing it,

Yes and no. The original project is dead but we forked it and continue to maintain and improve it as Pulsar

Joplin is a note taking app that stores its data in an sqlite database (easy to query but not a good idea to write to it) but there is also a command line version and both versions support access via a data API.

What about something like navi - https://github.com/denisidoro/navi. Basically an interactive cheat sheet that has commands pre-loaded (or that you can make yourself).

Watch this space for the full history, I’m literally putting the final touches on a blog post that will go into details of how Atom started then how it became Pulsar as a little celebration after we hit 3k stars.

Just to clarify, the Pulsar devs aren’t ex-Atom devs. Some of the team are from atom-community but none of the core Pulsar team were part of the official Atom team.

That is more than fair enough, as said, not trying to get you to donate or anything, especially if you already donate your time. Just hoping to put something out there that some of us really do take the donations seriously and we try to be as transparent as possible with everything, I just wish more projects would do that to shake some of the potential mistrust.

Whilst I do understand that sentiment, with our project we have made as much effort as possible to make sure that nobody thinks we would ever do such a thing.

We are rather tight fisted with our donations and make sure we only spend them when absolutely necessary - none of it goes out as regular stipends for the team and all funds for expenses get sent in response to the actual bills incurred, I don’t think any of us would dream of siphoning it into our pockets.

We were even debating if we should use the “standard” funds to foot the bill for a new hosted service thing but felt this was a bit of a grey area - the service would be provided for free but footed by the donors of which only a small percentage would likely use it… We realise just how much of a privilege it is to be in receipt of the funds so we treat them with utmost reverence.

Not that I’m trying to encourage you to donate money to projects rather than time, I very much do the same as you and donate time and effort rather than money, but there are some good guys out there.
