   SO much better than PhraseExpress!

   This setup is a little more hands on to install and setup, but it is worth it. No weird glitches, crashing or other issues, it just a simple system works as it should.

   It doesn't have all the same features as PhraseExpress, but if you are like me and just want a text expander, they are features you will never need or use anyway.

   The setup instructions are clear and concise. They do take a minute to get your head around compared to other software installs that I am used to, but as the instructions are on point, it is not difficult.

   I am using this on macOS and will be trying it on Windows soon too.

   🏁 Competitors: PhraseExpress

   👍 Pros:    Works perfectly|Cost effective|Great, clear setup instructions

   👎 Cons:    Requries some more setup beyond the usual 'double click' and done

  If you want a standalone cross platform text expander I currently enjoy using Espanso[1] [1]: https://espanso.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Add-on that makes it possible to paste one sentence?

• Bad Emacs Defaults

  Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file. https://espanso.org/ It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Help me find spreadsheet software I found on HN

  I remember seeing an app that has a canvas, and on it you put individual 'sheets' or tables. You can reference between them as normal, drag and drop them around. The screenshots _may_ have shown math being entered too, I can't recall. Because my calculations are made up of many mini-calculations this seems a much better idea than the normal Excel style of multiple tables on one sheet, as adding a row doesn't... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers

  This looks fantastic. I will definitely give it a spin. I've been tracking what I call "computational scratchpad" apps for a while now but haven't found one that fits my environment/workflow yet. Maybe Heynote will. Here are some others that I've looked at: * https://soulver.app Granddad of them all, Mac-only, proprietary, expensive * https://numi.app Mac-only, proprietary, semi-expensive.

• Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on

  I love the idea of a 'sheet' where you can add financial data and have it figure out what it needs to calculate. I would love to see this have the ability to draw simple graphs to show how your situation will look, or allow for things like interest rates on deposits, or the ability to see how your income might look like in X years with an Y% average increase, etc. PS: Also check: https://soulver.app/ for inspiration. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Ask HN: Do you still use a hand held/desktop calculator?

  Numi reminds me of Soulver at first glance: https://soulver.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Windows 10 calulator alternate for MAC

  Also https://soulver.app/ is paid but its the same kind of calculator. Source: about 1 year ago
