I've linked to Linus Lee's writing before because I think he is really smart and wise and I had been disappointed because he hasn't written any post recently then noticed his stream. Looks Linus is posting his writing/thoughts to his stream rather than writing blog posts, and so today I've been catching up on his posts during this chatGPT era, which required to go back in time to last November and then scroll upward through the stream. Streams are designed to be "subscribed to" and more importantly kept current with, but I think it would be cool if stream developers provided a catchup format where the reader could specify a point in time to go back to and then the web app would present that content in a top-down format. The problem become very apparently with Linus' stream because the page navigation is at the bottom of the web page and that means after reading from bottom to top I have to scroll back down to move to the previous page.#

I read an article about using Trilium Notes as an alternative to Evernote and I decided to build a server instance based on their official Docker image. Looks like a robust web application with Electron-based desktop apps for Linux, Windows, and Mac, although the Mac version is apparently not officially supported. A significant downside is that there is no mobile app version although there is a mobile version of the web application.#

I plan to not renew my Evernote subscription when it expires next month. I have exported all of my Evernote notes and imported them in to Obsidian. I also have an import in to OneNote. The main reason why I made these imports is for archival access and I don't plan to add to them. My current replacement for Evernote is Joplin, with synchronization being faciliated via OneDrive and secured via end to end encryption. I have synchronization working between Linux, Mac, and iPadOS versions of the application but for some reason synchronization does not work with the Android version and some I am living without access via my phone. #

The main use case for Joplin is storing browser web clippings. Unfortunately, sharing of web content to Joplin on iPadOS only sends the page link in to Joplin rather than doing a screenshot or markdown capture, so Joplin is not a perfect replacement of Evernote. There are web clipping Chrome and Firefox extensions for Trilium Notes that I have not tested.#
