I'm a fan of Manuskript on Linux. It's similar but has more features and, IMO, looks better: https://www.theologeek.ch/manuskript/

It's hard to tell about "looks better": the link for "screenshots" takes you to the #team anchor on the page, which is actually the "latest news" section.

The "How to use" link in the download for 0.17 takes you to https://sourceforge.net/u/gedakc/profile/

This does not inspire confidence :-/


I managed to find some screenshot in the github readme:

https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript#manuskript


Better documentation (well, actually, more like documentation at all), 100+ contributors, 10 years of contributions.

There's a lot of general hand-waving about its featureset and whatnot - and an odd jab about non-English support - but no explanation of how non-English language support is lacking in other projects and why hers is better. And am I really supposed to believe that her project has better non-English support than than something that has 100+ contributors over ten years?


Cheese Paper is written in rust. That's reason enough to give it a try. Manuskript may have more features if you need them, but it's written in python+js, and has a more obtuse file format.

There's also novelWriter which is also python but at least it uses pyqt.


My personal tagline, "I came here to kick ass, build web applications, and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum." came from this movie.


I want to see the outtake lines they didnt use. Roddy Piper had tons of one liners he would use for wrestling.


And Duke Nukem.


That “kick ass & chew gum” line has been hugely borrowed, reused and parodied many times throughout the following decades since the release of this movie.

In fact the whole movie is almost a parody of itself now due to how many scenes have since become a meme.


I came here to drink milk and kick ass... and I've just finished my milk


I came here to kick ass and deploy microservices... And I'm all out of ass.


I came here to shitpost and deploy microservices... and github is down.


I hate how these tools ask me to type in some long prompt and then once I finish they tell me that I need to make an account.


I actually found the LLM-generated image more annoying than the LLM-generated prose.



Crazy that you can't even read an article anymore without having to cough up money and/or provide your personal data.


yes, with a but, rephrased as "crazy that you can't use a private service without payment or otherwise contributing to its profitability" sounds less so crazy.

I agree on the excess.


Publishers really need to get on board with a fair pay as you go scheme.

Something where I pay a fair price for an article or subscription, without the new customer rates, and without the "call us" retention annoyances. Something like the old Netflix, where it covers 80% of what you want at a reasonable monthly fee with easy cancellation.

I wouldn't mind supporting good journalism, but I do mind having a teaser rate that will jump 5x after a year, making it difficult to cancel (call to cancel), and having 1 pay gate per news outlet.


> No print publication on the planet does this. The print editions of the very same publications — The New York Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The New Yorker — don’t do anything like this.

Ehh... I cancelled my SF Chronicle subscription a year ago. Since then I've received a dozen predatory phone calls and just add many letters. Plus when you do have the subscription they alter prices on you like a cable TV provider. So in some ways print is better than web but in other ways it's worse.


Article?


This is an official government news report (in Chinese): https://tv.cctv.com/2026/03/15/VIDEmX0VdYf9DeKI87GYEfqF26031...

This is a Chinese text version; you can translate it yourself: https://finance.sina.com.cn/tech/roll/2026-03-15/doc-inhrawm...

The ending of this whole story is very “O. Henry”-like: after the news broke, AI GEO vendors actually received even more orders.



Jack couldn't be bothered to use capital letters in his last layoff email either.


I've defended the style of writing previously, but I agree. This felt a little disrespectful.

I wonder if he writes his legal letters and letters to clients/investors like this, or does he have more respect for them?


Hopefully this will get momentum scrolling working.
