With the fixes made in the last release and those in flight for 0.43 regarding on screen keyboard, text input, text completion and copy/paste together with small app fixes here and there I'm really starting to enjoy text input on mobile and grab the phone more often although the laptop is nearby.

I consider that a good sign 😃

gitlab.gnome.org/World/iotas is great for note taking / lists and gnome-text-editor for generic text. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about saving to a file.

@agx I have to reconsider. Today I had a set of notes written down through a session of 4 to 5 hours, always intentionally saved using Ctrl+S when finishing a new paragraph. However when I rebooted, the whole file was empty again referring to the timestamp of creation as latest change. So it dropped everything out of a fluke...

So saving doesn't seem to mean actual storing to this application making it an utterly nightmare for important notes. So I guess, I'll need to switch to something else.

@thejackimonster Oh, that's bad. Iotas saves things *without* even having to hit "save".

@agx Went back to use Vim now. That one I trust.

Maybe it's some wild optimization because I was dead sure changes went to storage. But then it was inside a flatpak. So maybe sync IO can be async once there's an additional abstraction layer.

@agx i miss note taking with Org-mode on Mobiles...

@fossdd Yes, that would be awesome but I'm currently hesitant picking up yet another project.

@agx same for me, but it's on my endless TODO list :)
