Gingko mentions (13)

• Dragging/dropping feature OR easy way to move many notes into categories or folders (stacking like index cards)

  Here's the Gingko app I test sometimes. It lets you enter information horizontally and vertically into connected cards as if you were creating a horizontal outline that can have child cards. It's keyboard driven so that can speed up input. Source: 11 months ago

• Show HN: Obsidian Canvas – An infinite space for your ideas

  I find it useful for some things and awkward for others. I've been using Gingko [1] for a long while now. The ever-expanding-but-hierarchical structure it uses hits a sweet spot for me. 1: https://gingkoapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Text editor similar to Word or Google Docs for Obsidian?

  - gingko for planning stores and Quoll writer to work them out in the final draft. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best option for researching, writing and proofreading

  I use Ginkgo App and it really changed my life writing. 🙄. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Bike – macOS Native Outliner

  It's not exactly the same, but a similar left-to-right tree outliner, specifically optimized for writing, is https://gingkoapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

WriteFreely mentions (33)

• One of the greatest user interface disasters in history

  Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc. Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , which are designed to be for blogging and long-form writing, are the place to write this. Write Freely federates so one can follow accounts and interact with posts via Mastodon etc. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Which platform for occasional blog posts?

  An alternative to Plume is WriteFreely, which is a pretty clean & simple experience. Just don't expect to much regarding customization. Source: 11 months ago

• ActivityPub server that can run on Docker with external db?

  And since you've mentioned you want to write a blog, take a look at WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Writefreely

  I'm not sure what you've tried to install, but WriteFreely is Open Source and thus free of charge. There is commercial hosting of it, eg. write.as, but with those you don't have to worry about installing it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Newbie Question

  Instead of joining a Mastodon server, have you considered joining a write.freely server? Write.freely is a decentralized platform for writers that integrates the ActivityPub protocol, so anyone in the Fediverse can interact with your posts. This may be more well suited for your needs, although if you still want to join a Mastodon server there are many good answers in this thread. Source: about 1 year ago
