gollark: I'm very slowly writing my own note-handling software because of things I dislike about all of the existing stuff. It all seems to be at least one of: very complicated software which is likely hard to maintain over the long term; lacking in capabilities like good backlinks and search; accursedly proprietary; not usable as a serverside application; seemingly data-lossy.
gollark: That is impressively fast distraction-switching.
gollark: I don't understand this analogy.
gollark: There are subdued-looking ones without much or any RGB.
