So I bought 3 Merlins for US$10 on eBay. No idea what Iā€™m doing with them yet, but at least one of them is going to be A Project Someday

@mildsunrise This sounds like a job for Obsidian? obsidian.md/

@Kye @mildsunrise So, there is a sync service they offer, which might be worth the price.

Alternatively, if you have an iPhone and a Mac, you can sync the Obsidian folder with iCloud Drive. That's what I do. Nice thing is it's just a folder of markdown (for notes) and json (for canvases)

@Kye @mildsunrise What I also do - but only recommend to masochists - is run Syncthing on Mac, PC, and android devices to also sync notes

@0xSH00T @Kye @mildsunrise Yeah, really, the masochism in my system is I run both iCloud Drive and Syncthing. Sometimes they fight

@danhon Anecdotally, I do seem way more inclined to pay for patreons & random indie sites with light touch payment asks.

I also once subscribed to the NYT, but yeah the cancellation experience means I will never subscribe again

@danderson @danhon Yeah, for awhile there, I might have ponied up a buck or two a month for The Daily podcast.

But yeah, overall, it's such a shady spendy roach motel for stuff I mostly don't like or want.

@Kye @mildsunrise Well, there's graph, but they did also recently add a more freeform "canvas" feature where you can drag & connect notes and images and suchlike
