Today's calendar post is Penpot, @penpot

Penpot is a wireframing, prototyping for teams - for , developers, product people, everyone involved in the software creation process.

It is web first - works on all operating systems, uses open web standards (SVG), and open source.

Those with interest can self-host it themselves, or use the public service design.penpot.app. Releases are big with lots added.

Last one today - a small, useful utility called Rectangle for Mac OS.

rectangleapp.com/

Most of my time I use my home Linux laptop, and I'm a big fan of window snapping/tiling on .
But for work I have to use a Mac.

Rectangle allows me to have the same (or damn similar) window snapping as in GNOME, with the same shortcuts

And today I learned you can support the developer by purchasing it.

If I was to make some constructive criticisms, it would be there are some confusing usability issues, and also inconsistencies across the plugins in terms of design, iconography.

However, in terms of UX contributions, the project is welcoming. I made a small but hopefully useful contribution: the process is here:

discourse.joplinapp.org/t/abil

I'd 100% recommend you trying it out. I've been using it for 18months/2 years.

I'm starting the calendar 18 days late. My bad. Next year will be better.

My updates will focus mainly on for .

The first is:

@joplinapp Joplin is an offline, local first notebook application for note taking, and information management software.

It is an alternative to Evernote, and other notebook apps. There is some overlap with Notion.

The screenshots show only part of it's abilities.

Open source software had been utterly captured by corporations, but federated decentralized spaces resist that ownership. Even if not perfect its way better than the alternative. Feels like having a Market vs a Serfdom kind of situation. One is obviously worse.

Anyway for life, all my homies hate corporatism. 😤
