With the fixes made in the last #phosh 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 😃
https://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 https://flathub.org/apps/com.toolstack.Folio is also pretty neat for taking notes and managing them in separate topics.
@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.
