Kinda odd since I feel like Mongodb fell out of favor a bit but I guess it can be handy for those who prefer these kinds of databases.

This is pretty because Grist can react to changes in your data automatically, sending emails or firing webhooks. I only recently learned about grist and have been playing with it a bit in the hosted version. Thinking of adding it to my list of applications to run soon. Seems like it’s not super well known in this sub though. Do people prefer something else?

F-droid is working great. Hard to say this vs a linux setup. It’s not super lightweight but more than a laptop for sure if that matters for you. The 14 inch one seems pretty monster so at that point maybe a laptop is worth it.

So I’ve gotten to use the tablet a bit now and I would say it’s fine. I might expect a bit more for $170 but because it’s so big I can excuse it. Um, it’s a little laggy, um, just out of the box. It doesn’t have much bloatware, maybe two or three manufacturer apps, but not like Candy Crush and all that junk. My very basic research tells me it’s not rootable. I’m really not sure if there is actually a special technology to the screen or it’s just like a matte screen protector but I sat in the park in full sunlight and was able to read a book perfectly well not quite as good as a paperwhite but pretty close so overall it’s decent and the pen works pretty well for writing and drawing. Compared to how much an iPad costs, I think the quality is fairly close.

I saw that this app Tiimo won app of the year from Apple. I hadn’t heard of it before but it looks pretty nice. Unfortunately, it’s iOS/web only so don’t work for me on Android. However, I’m curious if folks here have tried it or have other apps they really recommend?
I’m currently straddling between Todoist and CALDav (through nextcloud/tasks.org) but am always looking to explore new tools that might be better at helping me follow up.
Also, I recently read Zen To Done (ZTD), it’s like a more applied version of GTD (Getting Things Done) and found it to be pretty helpful. Big takeaway was I could do better at weekly reviews and setting 2-3 most important tasks for the day to make sure I get them done.

Do you have it setup to sync highlights/annotations? how does that work for you?

I’m not that techy on the screens front but it’s not totally a regular lcd but not as good as e-ink either. It’s kinda something in between. I’ve only gotten to play with it a for a few minutes so far but it’s hard to describe. These pictures do it some justice though: https://www.androidcentral.com/tablets/tcl-nxtpaper-4-fixes-one-of-the-technologys-biggest-hidden-issues

Does the pocketbook app/device let you annotate books? It seems quite interesting but not generally available in the US. Read era does look interesting though.

I bought myself a fancy new TLC 11 Nxtpaper Gen 2 with a cool e-ink type display. It’s an android tablet and I’m breaking free from Apple. That means no more Apple Books for my epubs. That also means, I’m now looking for a good solution to annotating epubs/pdfs (mostly highlights) on Android. I’d loveeee it it had some bring your own storage sync (webdav) or just plays well with the local storage for using syncthing etc. What are the best options?
Speaking of laptops. I’ve been kicking around this idea for almost a year now. I wanna make a tool that takes ebay listings for ThinkPads and basically shows them on a table that’s super easy to filter and includes benchmark scores. Kinda like what lab gopher used to be. Lots of people want a good deal on ThinkPads but ebay search for them can be rough because of the fuzzy search. Like if I just want the best deal on a Thinkpad from the past 3 years that’s not easy to search for on ebay. Main thing stopping me is ebay API requires an application and I’m sure they block scrapers to some extent.
