  Synergy Sharing KB/Mouse across computers over lan (with cross platform clipboard but without the Symless dumpster-fire that was Synergy 2.0)

  I desperately want an open source desktop markdown editor that's not written in electron.

    Oh yes, I've been looking for this for so long.

    If you're on Linux, I think the elementary os one is supposed to be decent though I haven't tried it.

    Windows has a bunch but they're all ancient and abandoned.

    This doesn't seem like software. What is the existing alternative to what you have in mind?

      Idk it builds as a single package, they just call it "Open Chemistry". It's a suite of applications, like LibreOffice but for chemistry.

  One to do advanced search on multiple code hosting services at once.

    The closest thing is [Awesome Open Source] (https://awesomeopensource.com/) which let's you filter github projects.

    This so much, currently I'm using Progression but the dev has taken some features and put them behind a paywall :( . It would be great if we had an open-source alternative.

  Updating Linux to fix problems

  source

  • a_Ha@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    "problems" ... to name a few :
    1 unstable & unreliable desktops and window managers,
    2 reinventing the wheel so many times instead of improving the quality of one main line.
