Konfabulator is cool and actually, pretty easy to program. As is AppleScript.
ShapeShifter is a lot like Kaleidoscope if that's your bag.
GarageBand is pretty awesome, as is iLIFE in general. FUCKING IDVD4 WON'T BURN FOR ME THOUGH.
Bit Torrent kicks ass. So does WeatherPop. MacMAME for-evah!
VLC plays .avi files very well, including divx.
Marine Aquarium is amazing.
Peak is a seriously good tool for music.
I tried to go over to Mail and lasted a few weeks until it started crashing all the time. I'm now back on Entourage.

and Mail is still the best for IMAP email (I use IMAP for everything instead of POP)

Actually, at least here, most ISPs let you chose which one you want to use. IMAP stores the mail files on the server (can log in from anywhere & have all yr mail available to you) vs. POP downloads it to your computer (if you log in on a different computer, you won't see any of yr mail in the server inbox). My ideal is IMAP with a copy of the mail on my local disk for backup. I check my mail all over on different computers, so I like having all my messages always available.

nvUltra has been fine. I don't use any of the new features. seems just as fast as NV/nvAlt to me.
caek was right, it's bad.
caek, what did you move to?

a weird neovim plugin with very few users that i like a lot but doesn't appear to be maintained and i cannot in good faith recommend https://github.com/wincent/corpus
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:53 (one year ago) link
i also played with obsidian. it wasn't for me, but it seems like nvultra but with a roadmap and community. that's definitely worth checking out.

I like the idea of Obsidian but it seems like the ultimate "fuck around with the settings rather than get things done" kind of app. Like, I would spend all my time building taxonomies as a way to procrastinate.
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 18:00 (one year ago) link
i get what you mean but i think its mostly fine. its adoption by the zettelkasten community is the source of that vibe. i was as happy as i was going to be with it after changing like 3 settings.

*a dated note
I might try Obsidian again when I go back to Uni in October. I mostly use Scrivener (e.g. for keeping notes and essay writing), and even though it can be hard work, and the updates are never what I want, I just prefer Scrivener's look and feel.

a weird neovim plugin with very few users that i like a lot but doesn't appear to be maintained and i cannot in good faith recommendOh perfect. AND I can pretend that I'm finally going to become really nimble with vim.I'm keeping to-dos in Logseq (similar to Obsidian) and have been toying with moving my notes there. It's great for what I'm using it for, but I'm leery. And, dammit, the unified title display / search / create UI hasn't been bettered.

The Zettelkasten crew led me to this app The Archive which has exactly that UI and is actually pretty decent so far https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/
― stet, Sunday, 16 April 2023 16:37 (one year ago) link
that looks perfect, stet, thanks. have been using nvultra for a while, but it's trying to do a lot more than i want. i don't really like the *feel* of obsidian, even though really it's doing a lot of what I want. i do find logseq good for work - daily meeting journal, key areas as pages etc. but for personal stuff I just want raw note taking. my old simplenote on phone + nvalt on mac set-up was perfect tbh.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 22 April 2023 13:17 (one year ago) link
Alternate plug for iaWriter as my solution for this. I keep trying to use Obsidian and whatever new system comes along, but i dunno - I can procrastinate enough tags out before doing actual work.

my favorite technology "radar" (because it's the the only one of these kind of things that isn't completely worthless) has logseq in it's quarterly report
