Guitars, pedals, drums, bass, cats, F1, board games, D&D, other interesting things
Guitar for 25 years with some bass and drums in there too, play in one band atm but always on the lookout for new stuff. I should play more.
It’s a shame the music communities here aren’t as vibrant as reddit but far less people over here. I live in hope that it’ll get busier!
+10000 for notepad++, its he swiss army knife of file editing tools. Adding:
Plugins: CSV being read as a small dB table you can query is a game changer. Or have a JSON plugin that auto formats and queries as well as opens the JSON in a clickable nested window.
Pinned tabs: pin important tabs, I use one as a todo list.
Search for text within files in a folder: need to find a specific bit of text in one of dozens/hundreds/thousands/millions of files somewhere? Its lightning fast and works a treat
Search and replace with regex: amazing feature, use regex patterns to find complex parts of your files and replace them with something else Bulk operations: remove newline, replace line breaks etc
Multi format support: see line breaks from different OSs like Unix and windows and amend them Portable install: you dont have to install it, you can use a portable version
So much more, get it and you won’t look back.
Also adding my English condolences, can’t agree with you strongly enough. UK is fucked, need to emigrate
+1 for notesnook, self hosting coming soon
You’re right! I missed it somehow
I also tried Joplin and while it’s great while using it, there’s no background sync and never will be. That’s a huge pain when you’re mobile and need to get at your notes but have little or no signal.
I’ve been getting on well with notesnook, the self hosting is in beta right now but its just a docker container. Docs are coming for self hosting in the near future.
The criteria for me when I was looking for a notes app were:
Notesnook hits all of these. I wish it had a dedicated desktop app but that’s something I can just use a browser window for.
What line of work are you in JD?
Super rad
