Have you tried Firefox? They are really concerned about privacy as well and Firefox is developed by a Foundation, not by a company that has profit as an objective. I'm just curious if you had time to compare both.

In all honesty, I haven't. I have used Chrome based browsers for like 10+ years now, and I don't see myself switching over to Mozilla. Brave's creator is the same guy behind Mozilla btw ^^

I have to say that was using Chrome since 2011 (I think) and earlier this year I tried to switch to Opera, but at the end because of some points I thought that it was not a good choice. Then I tried something else, migrated everything to Firefox and started to use even Firefox to Android with sync between devices. I'm Firefox 99% of the time everywhere and so far I'm happy. The only thing that Firefox is still disappointing me is to join meetings: firstly I cannot share only one screen and secondly Microsoft Teams is not compatible with Firefox.

David Morais The Brave creator is also a massive asshole and the company behind Brave is questionable to say the least.

Daniel Ziltener you're talking about Brendan Eich ?

Why do you say the company is 'questionable' ?

Wow, I thought MS Teams was a web app, and therefore supported in all modern browsers.

David Morais MS Teams has the app to install on Linux, but I did not want to install to join one meeting per day (daily meeting) :D and when I try to open the meeting with Firefox it does not show the option to join, only to download the App, so I use Chromium only to join meetings :D

You can just 'install' the PWA on your Desktop to get close to a native experience Leandro Isotton

My Top Password Manager: KeePass XC. Syncs between all my machines and my phone using Syncthing, is open source, and nothing is behind a paywall. My Top Git GUI: Magit. Though (although it's been a long time) I think TortoiseGit is also a nice tool. My Top Browser: Firefox. It's fast, it isn't controlled by a big corporation, and honestly, at this point it's just "the lesser evil". My Top Code Editor: Spacemacs. Yes, it takes quite some time to get used to, but boy is it powerful...

Thanks for the list. No doubt that Notion is an impressive app, but it's so feature rich and imho a little too complicated. For personal use I just wanted something very simple for all the things I had to remember and do, so I wrote my own app. It's no where near an app like Notion, but sometimes the simpler the better ;). mentalist.app

Hey 馃憢 Thanks for sharing, it looks really cool. Functionality wise, I can see it's not a knowledge database like Notion, more of a To-Dos app, and yes, I agree that Notion can be overkill for simple to-dos :)

Am surprised, it looks cool. I also had a todo app idea, a social committing todo where you let your goals known to the community and earn badges from the community if you fulfill your declarations. so you can tune your app towards this too!

No I can't, because I'm already using YouTrack for this functionality and most importantly, because it is paid. Thx for your comment 馃檪

You can actually use Notion itself on Linux straight from the snap store on Ubuntu. Either the Notion snap or Lotion which is OSS I believe. Both are great and work near flawlessly. I will check out Web Catalogue though to compare. Awesome list.
