As a former classroom teacher of French and Spanish, English Language Arts, and Social Studies, my business now is creating resources for language teachers to tell stories and teach about culture, geography, history, and other content...in a language that may be quite new to the students. So, with that kind of work, you can bet I am always on the lookout for the best tools to visually scaffold the information so it is easier to understand through pictures, icons, and other design elements. I use Storyboard That almost every single day in my work on these materials. Since the resources are for (mostly) children and teens, I prefer a comic or cartoon-y style. Storyboard That is my go-to "character generator." I use it to make and pose characters into scenes and then I combine these groups of characters with Canva, to create PNGs that I then make into presentations for giving mini-lessons in class, texts for kids to read in class, etc. For me, Canva AND Storyboard That together are the perfect solution, and the price is right, for my purposes, as Pixton (which integrates directly with Canva) charges about $500 a year for the rights to replicate your work using their library for commercial purposes, whereas Storyboard That is only $12 or so a month, which includes that permission level for your original compositions. Pixton without that level of permission is about $40 a month, so you would need to think about what the integration of the two would be worth for you in terms of efficiency or the available images and effects in Pixton. For $144 a year, Storyboard That is an excellent option for me. And for free, you can create three active storyboards at a time, so you could potentially use it and never pay a dime.

Manyverse is cross-platform and it's the main desktop app nowadays: https://manyver.se The Scuttlebutt.nz website hasn't been kept up-to-date. SSB's development is also decentralized, so this doesn't mean that everything moves forward in unison, so depending on who you ask, Scuttlebutt.nz is not the official frontpage. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

This looks pretty interesting. Do you know how it is different from similar systems that use the SSB protocol, like Manyverse for example? Source: over 1 year ago
I really look forward to interfaces that let me use my own index of data from my network. Manyverse[1] and Iris[2] are good examples of apps that will enable this more in the future. I just want to search “harry potter” and see everything my friends have written about it. If I follow some institutions or encyclopedias, I should also see what they write about it. And I should be able to choose which... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
