The CADT model of software design: just rewrite it!
Note that I do encourage (on the consumer's part) fixing bugs over reporting them, but I covet stability from maintainers.

Made my own recipe for #eggnog tonight. (Rather than following some recipe online).
"Try not to curdle the eggnog. After you've curdled it, blend until consistent." 😅 If it's any good, maybe I'll share it.

Saw this comment about #gnome4 #adwaita theme flat design that rings true:
> changing buttons to be plain icons means removing crucially important contrast between elements and weakening visual cues to the user that things are clickable. In effect it makes it harder for the brain to “parse” the interface the person is looking at and leads to users having a harder time navigating the interface
(Personally, I think icon-only buttons are a necessary evil for mobile)

Trying out #deltachat because it makes sense to me (even if I don't understand the inner workings), being a heavy email user myself. Also avoids problem of convincing people to adopt something new in order to be useful.
I understand the chats are kept separately from your emails, which I like because I was concerned that short chat messages would clutter up my email folders.
Just your average linux user (above-average computer-person) with fullstack web dev experience.
