Cloud Bites 2021-08-25

Cloud Bites

I'm switching back to Tinyletter! They fixed the problem with sending and google groups doesn't have a signup link feature. Anyways, Cloud Bites iteration 2!

Rec 4: I stumbled across Kinopio today — A two-dimensional note-taking app with a retro aesthetic and surprisingly many features. Honorable mention goes to Amplenote, a more traditional note-taking app that seems to be competing well with Evernote and Roam. (Side note: I have been using The Archive, which is more minimal but very nice.)

Rec 5: Good Budget — A envelope-style budgeting app for web and mobile that is honestly fantastic. It's similar to You Need A Budget but free and easier to use (though the design is not exactly vogue). Some of you may have heard about my months-long saga to gain observability into my personal finances; I think this concludes that journey!

Rec 6: A Solarpunk Manifesto — I promised more Solarpunk last week so here it is!

Anti-rec 1: PSA to avoid Dr. Bronner's soap, even unscented, especially in combination with a pump dispenser. It can clog the dispenser which may result in soap squirting at a high velocity in a random direction which has the very annoying potential to lead to several painful minutes of washing one's eyes out with water. Avoid at all costs!

Also a hint at next week's newsletter:

All the best,
Charles
