Comment Re:Obsidian (Score 1) 33

I was scanning the comments to see if anyone had mentioned it.

I've started using it about a month ago, and I'm impressed. Simple Markdown files that you can sync between systems. (I use iCloud, but anything works.)

I still need to export my Evernote notes to Obsidian, guess I should not wait too long.

About diagram software:

I used to hate making diagrams in Visio (and similar programs). "Ohh, you want to add this class / method / process to the diagram in a logical position? Have fun rearranging the whole canvas!"

Then, someone pointed me towards https://plantuml.com/ Just describe in text whatever type of diagram you need, and the lay-out engine renders it for you. The small (human- readable) files can be added to the project's source control if you want version history.

Comment Re:What is the big deal with playlists? (Score 1) 45

I think this is mostly about playlists that are refreshed every x days.
Say you have a playlist called "Hot Dance Tracks". Fans of the genre can subscribe, and get a new selection of tracks every week.
If you have 400 000 subscribers, some people might be willing to pay to have a track included in next week's hotness.

Thanks for the link!

Since I have your attention now, this might be a good place to post this request. I'd love to have the option of opening links in discussions in a new tab.

I just wanted to see what the new lay-out was and continue with reading the rest of the thread. Now I accidentally forgot to "open in new tab", saw the picture and had to use the "Back" button in the browser. Losing the position in the discussion in the process.

Links in the comment part of an article are almost always something you would want to read in addition to the rest of the discussion.

Just my two cents. From reading your other replies, you seem to have a lot of ideas for improving the site already.
