Out of 70+ messages in this thread, that's been the only useful one. ;-)
Randall Munroe is a god.
That's probably about it. TBH I only use a local email client at work.
Local chat clients don't really cut it any more, except for IRC and
Telegram. Me I'd like a decent, fast, local word-processor, but a text
editor with outlining would do. There's no shortage of text editors,
but outlining is hard.
TL;RL - I digress and wax nostalgic...
Once every 20 years or so ;-) I consider digging up a copy of PC Outliner
for DOS, cranking up a DOS emulator and studying it until I can re-write
it for an OS I like. I remember liking it quite a bit (and/or quite a
byte), using it all through college, but having not touched it in so long,
I'm not sure I remember what I liked about it, specifically.
Other code in the "reinvent-the-DOS-wheels" category:
* A file comparison program called GoodLook -- though now meld and k3diff
make me miss GoodLook considerably less,
* the Norton Utilities editor that easily allowed editing in hexadecimal
dump mode -- probably something current already does that well, but I
haven't looked for such,
* and Nota Bene [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_Bene_(word_processor)]
before Dragonfly Software ruined by changing to a GUI. Best damned editor I
ever used, with EASY keyboard re-mapping of EVERY key: You could tell it
that the Shift key was really the letter "A" if you wanted, and any idiot
could change the mappings by editing a SIMPLE config file. I think I even
had control over Caps Lock. And, DOS being single-user, you could have
multiple config files for different users of the machine, and it
anticipated HTML, using French quotes to surround tags quite similar to
HTML. Support for scripting, syntax highlighting, etc. At the time, the
only editor endorsed by the Modern Language Association -- not that the
endorsement meant anything to me. Prior to Nota Bene, I used an emacs
clone (FINE - Fine Is Not Emacs, on a DECsystem-10 running TOPS-10), and
when I switched to Linux, I was happy to find emacs waiting for me. Still,
Nota Bene has a place in my heart...
