Loqi [indienews] New post: "Choosing Tools" https://tantek.com/2024/213/b1/choosing-tools

#
capjamesg[d] [tantek]++ great blog post!

#
capjamesg[d] I would love to read more on the "While democratization of tools is nearly always a good thing, I can think of a small handful of examples that demonstrate that sometimes it is not. Thatβs worth a separate post." point in a separate post.

#
capjamesg[d] I, too, want a good synchronised note-taking app that works across macOS and iOS.

#
capjamesg[d] I use Notion which is nice but there are tiny things that increasingly frustrate me (delays in syncing, layout shifts, the cursor not appearing where it should, among others).

[jeremycherfas] 1writer is a very good plain text notes app for iOS and Mac.

#
[aciccarello] Does anyone use a short domain email address as an alias to use when sharing an email address in person?
#
[aciccarello] You might want a separate email for this, but I'm thinking about all the stores where they ask for a member email address.
#
[aciccarello] Yeah, my name/domain is a little hard to spell so I'm thinking about alternatives
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d], my tools post inspired another by a formerly active IndieWeb community member! https://tommorris.org/posts/2024/a-world-run-by-tools/ (not officially part of the Blog Carnival but feel free to add it if you want to related or subsequent etc. section)

Loqi [indienews] New post: "IndieWeb Movie Club: August 2024 - The Matrix (1999)" https://marksuth.dev/posts/2024/08/indieweb-movie-club-august-2024-the-matrix-1999

#
[aciccarello] Yeah, the spelling things out is what I'm looking to avoid
#
[aciccarello] I might also have a specific email address for stores/businesses to keep it separate from my personal.
#
[aciccarello] I don't hate that. It's better than stressing while someone waits for you to mistype gmail
#
[aciccarello] It is funny to see what providers they have shortcuts for
#
[aciccarello] Oh, that'd be fun
#
[aciccarello] You could also throw in a fun new TLD like .meme or .star
#
[tantek] lol apparently .club is popular among a certain set: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.club

[tantek] wow completely missed this silo fail that wasn't even that old: https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/15/22534253/irl-social-network-facebook-groups-calendar-events-messaging (died in two years)

#
[KevinMarks] My friend used to give companies email addresses of the form

{companyname}@{hisname}
.com so he could tell who had sold the email.#

#
[aciccarello] Yeah, I'm trying to pick a new short domain with both length and sound in mind
