  • Hey!

    Yeah annoyingly there’s not much that can be done about that, however there’s quite a few transports in the official store to try and get around it.

    The 4play transport is quite clever if you have patience to set it all up, although you have to compromise a little on privacy with that one.

    It’s all a balance really, I have a few local sock5 proxies setup using openvpn via expressvpn and they work like a charm, sometimes I hit 0 results but clicking on retry immediately gives me results back.

    Hope this helps ♥️





  • You know, I bet you, if we actually fed specific codebases into a matching algorithm that compares line by line and groups them by similarities, each similar group gets a note/chord, we could very easily come up with a fairly default melody for vibecoded landing pages to begin with. I know you were making a joke, but it could TECHNICALLY work, bet you the tailwind song would rock.




  • Hahahah I tend to reason with people more than shouting at them, discussions are very good for the brain <3

    Thank you, I already had a FANTASTIC “I told you so” moment when both Microsoft and Anthropic switched to a “you pay what you use” model few days ago, this slide is actually a month old, call me Nostradamus lmfao

    Oh I see, I have a feeling the comparison’s reason may have been misunderstood. I am not waving away criticism on gen-ai use, I welcome it actually. I want the technology and I want it done right, what’s currently happening sucks, that doesn’t mean I should blanket hate on something.

    I’m waving away criticism on the whole “if you use AI you can’t program and your applications must be shit” narrative and mentality that I always get any time I mention that I do make use of AI to speed up development :)

    Btw, nobody here is getting fooled by gen-ai companies or at least definitely not me. I keep telling my company we must NOT stop hiring junior developers just because this pretend-magic box can fill holes. And my latest presentation especially touches this specific topic and how unsustainable this is gonna get when asked to review our AI using strategy.

    It isn’t, subscriptions are no different than renting power tools for work (many do, especially for heavy machinery), and the power drill factory doing evil stuff is not the carpenter’s fault, nor the power drill. The carpenter’s job is STILL easier that way, he’d still likely choose it for convenience, maybe trying to do his part to avoid exceeding usage and being mindful on HOW it’s used.

    You are nitpicking on an analogy for the sake of nitpicking.


  • Well for search suggestions it aggregates google and ddg, proxied if you have proxies setup, at the moment there’s no way to integrate to it YET, that’s something I’m looking into!

    I thought suggestion worked with right click, I may have messed that up, I’ll admit, opensearch has an extremely confusing system and it feels a little clunky to implement, it took me a while to figure it out, so I’ll likely admit is my fault rather than yours haha




  • it would be cool, if there was a search suggestion api URL Also maybe bangs to only search with a certain engine

    Hey! First of all thank you for the feedback <3 Secondly both of these are already present :)

    You can type !help to see all bangs that come by default and there’s a section of the docs (on the index of the docs) on how to use the search suggestion api for firefox or any browser that’s compatible with it!






  • Hey thank you!

    The issue with GitHub alternatives is the lack of runners/pipelines and restricting functionalities.

    Gitlab is a good alternative but I use it for work and having two accounts juggling between work/personal projects is a recipe for disaster.

    I spent a bit of time on codeberg and I am checking it out, happy to push the repo there too, but they don’t seem to provide pipeline options, so I wouldn’t be able to build the docker image there like I do on GitHub :)

    Btw whilst I do believe into the whole Microsoft scraping projects to train AI regardless of licenses, I wouldn’t say they are hostile towards open source. They actually are extremely for it, vscode is free and one of the best IDEs out there for example, GitHub free plan is VERY generous and they have a whole FREE coding academy with extremely in-depth courses on how to learn programming and various niche topics. And they integrated wsl to seamlessly run Linux commands within windows, which I never thought I’d see happen (been there for years, but I’m just giving you examples).



  • As of version 1.14.3 I have also introduced XChaCha20 encryption (used as default)

    This was extremely easy to implement, not gonna lie, bit of research brought me here https://www.npmjs.com/package/libsodium-wrappers-sumo and from there on it was as simple as doing the UI (which is just a bunch of re-usable components, spent way too much time making sure everything is re-usable).

    Now users (and I) can decide which encryption type to use in which situation, win-win i’d say, thank you for pushing me into doing this, it actually makes the whole experience 100x better and you were right in the sense that for a note taking app, a passphrase is just about enough.


  • This is all actually very good feedback and a lot to take in and think about, I have no problems in admitting that something can be done in a better way and go back to the drawing board, I’ll admit, I don’t have much experience with neither of the methods you suggested, but a quick Google showed me a world of learning, so I have a lot of reading to do ♥️

    P.s. I did read everything that was linked by u/litchralee btw and it was a very good read indeed

    Now, onto the why I went for asymmetric encryption is due to the nature of the notes being files on a system rather than stored in a database, my thinking process being "I can use whatever public key I need for whatever note and decrypt them using the right private key at a later time.

    Regarding the sharing, you can indeed share encrypted notes… my thinking was “you give me a public key, I use it to encrypt the note, share it with you - privately or publicly - and you can use your private key to decrypt it”. Which is why there’s always an option to encrypt with a different public key than the one stored for yourself, I was imagining it just like encrypted emails work frankly. I may have gone a bit too much for overkill lol

    I’ll see to implement additional encryption methods, if anything I’m all for choice and letting people decide what to use. There’s also the very selfish answer to your question btw being that… I like PGP and I made jotty mainly for myself hahahaa

    Edit

    Sorry forgot to address the signing feedback, you are correct, I am not letting user sign when encrypting, I made a judgement call in favour of user experience, I will be adding an optional checkbox to sign it with passphrase and custom/stored private key when using pgp and look into implementing alternative encryption methods, if anything this conversation got me all excited to code more lol
