I've used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.

If nothing else, the article is great for a breakdown of the features of Firefish. I've been a user for 2-3 months and didn't know a lot of the info covered.

On a related note, I was on firefish.social but it was very buggy for me after a while. Thought about throwing in the towel but eventually realized that it was instance specific.

I have since migrated to calckey.world (Calckey -> Firefish instance that didn't change its name) and the experience has been buttery smooth.

It's completely markdown which is future-proof and easily portable to other software

One thing that surprises me is the level of "aha" moments using the additional apps. Gwenview and Okular have so many power-user-friendly shortcuts that are intuitive. Lot's of "Oh that's nice but it would be perfect if..." moments followed by seeing the option in the settings and/or programmable via a shortcut key

Good to know. I will say as a colorblind person, it's always a tad ironic because as a colorblind person, the filters don't make things definitive. It's still a bunch of random colors that I can't identify lol

Depending on your privacy concerns, ChatGPT might be an option. Check YouTube for reviews and how to create a course outline

Good to know. I finished the series late last month and plan on diving into the show this month

The questionable privacy policy doesn't negate the actual work being done. I'm no longer using them, but calling it tree NFTs is misguided

I used it as my primary browser on my laptop/desktop. I supported the cause and through my usage I planted +150 trees, but the trade-off is steepening so I'm going to have to jump ship.

I'll be pivoting to DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, and use Brave for more nuanced/specific results.
