  • Obviously you can do a SEPA transfer as well, but it’s not instant and you have to type a long number and don’t have a consistently good user experience. Bank apps lack good UX. Stuff like “send this friend 5 bucks again, this is his profile picture” and are a pain to log into.

    I don’t say I like paypal or banks, i actually dont like either. But paypal is just more convenient.








  • I guess there are scenarios where I have free time, but it’s less than 30 minutes daily. In some evenings I can fight the exhaustion of a full day of child care after putting them to sleep to stay awake and get some free time, taking into account of being very tired when they wake me up quite early.

    It probably gets better when the kids are older, mine are little.

    Two humans are just too few to take care after two kids. Originally humans were not isolated to 4 person families like they are today. The whole tribe was looking after all the kids, sharing different duties and having a collective schedule, similar to Kindergarden today, but the whole day.

    After that a few generations lived together in one house, still having less impact on the actual parents. Then we got our 2 parents + kids family model where in the beginning one parent was doing childcare full time.

    Arriving in todays society, where both parents need to work and do the child care on the side by themselves after parental leaves from work are over. This is from the age of 1 where I live, but e.g. in the U.S. it’s right away.

    Obviously this most parent hostile setup in the society of today, adding also some financial disadvantages, is a big reason this societies demographic issues.









  • Right, obsidian didn’t appeal to me since it’s proprietary.

    I probably will look into setting up a Joplin server and maybe write a frontend for it. Also didn’t try frontend options on PC yet.

    Until now I only tried the Android app and while it looked quite mature, I didn’t get quite the UX from it I was anticipating.

    Some things that bothered me:

    • Creating a note requires 2 clicks, 1 should be fine.I want to start writing and decide whether its a todo later.

    • Tag management. In Keep #tags are parsed from text automatically. Although there is a conflict with markdown syntax, having to issue 3 clicks to add a tag seems bothersome

    • Tags are not shown in the main menu, but are another view.

    • Didn’t figure out what notebooks are supposed to be, but i guess some kind of directory system. Don’t see the point when having a tag system. In the end they are too prominent in the UI.

    But the synchronization options and markdown capabilities are a big plus. mardown is actually a feature missing in keep.
