@stevemarkperry @kepano @obsdmd iA Writer and Bear are native and limited. Obsidian is Web tech, with limitless customization, but slower. No matter how much one improves speed, they cannot be the same. All three are made by small, passionate teams that focus on very different use cases, connected by markdown.

That’s a really good question and it’s difficult to describe. When you use Bear, for example, it feels like a truly native experience. Just minor details here and there, where Obsidian doesn’t. I can see that 1.11 uses more native OS controls, which really helps. So more along those lines would be the cherry on the cake. But honestly, 1.11 is really good. It’s just something makes me keep wanting to reach for Bear, just on mobile.

what's one improvement you'd like to see in @obsdmd in 2026?

@audreyt @in_somewhere Is there an English translation? I had a look with auto translation. Would love to see a version for an international audience, even if it is AI translated. :)

What is more calming than looking at type from close? Riding the Tokyo Metro line? How about doing both at the same time?

 With iA turning 20 years in 2025, as a tribute to our roots in Tokyo, we’re launching a new Tokyo metro audio series.

Google and Apple split the cake between each other, and don't leave much choice to devs or consumers. We strongly support the EU's work against anticompetitive behavior of both companies. Apple's control over its affluent demographic is cool for them, but bad for everybody else.

@jordibruin This is not the logical flex you think it is. iA Writer has 10% piracy on macOS. I don't mind 10% piracy. We have no reliable number on iOS, but it's not 0% either. The problem is how easy it is, but the platform culture (Google's free culture, app reset) and its demographic.

"Apple needs to add side loading to iPhones. If you don't want to use it, just don't. It won't affect you!" Meanwhile, 90% piracy usage for iA Writer on Android. ia.net/topics/our-and…

Thank you. @reichenstein@mastodon.social
