Zim has plugins

Typical China products’ experience. Its spec looks good. I was tempting to get one. We barely have choices in laptop smaller than 10 inch.

I think we actually have similar conclusion.

1. We do agree blender has been achieved a lot, but it’s an unfair and uphill battle.

2. I never claimed blender has not been used by real studios. But the market share for blender is bad, ~3% according to my quick search. And it’s probably not from big studios. If we love something, I think we also have to be unbiased, so we can improve it.

My point is that instead of blaming the blender team, we should cherish how much blender team has been achieved and offered in this harsh territory.

Good for you. Lucky guy/girl.

Good things for blender is the community is really strong and friendly. And lots of free high quality tutorials in YouTube and even in other streaming platform. Go donuts. We should cherish what the community have built and achieved.

Of course I took a look. I like pixelfed’s comment feature, but it lacks other features from immich and photo prism. Pixelfed is also written from php. I don’t know how many new developers will learn php and contribute to pixelfed. Thanks for the recommendation though.

I am more interested a self hosted Instagram solutions. I wish immich supports comments and emoji.

While I think some comments are true in general for other aspect of open source software zones, blender is a special case.

The target audience for blender are artists for movie, video and games. And these industries are very capital intensive and highly regulated by limited distributors. If you tell ppl you can only do blender instead of maya or other big names, it’s like a programmer tells ppl he can only do perl. Good luck for finding a job. Just like programming industry without microservice architecture, if the whole team use one language, you have to use that. Just do a job search.

Game engine is similar. If you don’t use unity or unreal. No aaa game for you. (Indie games are better in my personal opinion) So game assets made by blender is always second citizens.

Because of the above factors, third parties market place products’ price are always low. It’s good for buyers, but sucks for indie sellers. Compare the catalog between blender market place and daz3d’s market place.

Universities will only teach products like maya instead of blender, just like java. Policy makers don’t care about the best interest of students. Their policy is usually only outdated. Why java? They should only allow to use Nokia.

Unlike games, you can hardly try the indie route for movie. It’s either go big or go die. When do you see a blender movie being shown in your local cinema?

blender is the only free less professional choice. The problem is their target audience is so broke.

Maybe we should be glad about it

Maybe you don’t like it. Have you tried those ai for your logo?

Also, I think your project is really interesting. Good job!

I thought of writing a notes app too because sadly I can’t find something I want, even these has so many notes there already. So I have two questions for you:

1. Have you thought about switching to xilem in the future? I don’t mean to disrespect since I was waiting for a mature rust framework when I thought about starting my poc. I worry the gui framework I used get abandoned. (Tauri look nice, but I suspect editor is really performance demanding later. That’s why Raph have to pause/drop his ambitious editor project for his gui framework)

2. Have you thought about moving to client server model in the future? The reason is that I can hardly find a good open source project for platform for phone and allow multiple contributed authors. Maybe hacking/stitching wiki+markdown+git/syncthing is my dream.

Just random chit chat, don’t mean to pointing finger. And thanks for open sourcing your wonderful work.

K3s ready?

I like their donation model. I hope they success.

My 4 generation i7 4g desktop is still fine to do that. Lol.

I won’t use that pc for complicated scanned un-optimisted scene though.

Since lots of ppl already cover laptop different options, i will skip this part.

Blender is a huge topic. What exactly does your wife exactly do? Something like sculpting, rigging don’t need much gpu power. How complicated the scene is it? For a complicated scene with un-optimisted mesh, it can be expensive. The most expensive part should be high quality rendering. But you can use render farm to “outsourcing” jobs to remote hosts.

Also, it’s 2024. Ww can already launch and run blender remotely thru vm and streaming technology smoothly.

Keep in min that this sw only supports x, not w/ Wayland. Chk the ticket for detail

Plz keep us update on your thoughts, progress, etc. There has very few posts on this topic.

Lots ppl nowadays don’t even own a pc or mac. The market shares already prove lots of ppl can live without desktop. Unless your family need to use complicated softwares like cad, compilers… My point is most ppl do consider their phone and tablet just work. And those two’s maintenance are a lot simpler. Of course, your family, your choice.

I saw an emergency btn in grapheneos. Never use it.

Or we can just decrease the importance of desktop. Users like mobile more. So I just self host stuff and offload data and apps to my server. Thin client (desktop/laptop/mobile/tablet) + thick server.

Google etesync. It has everything you need and light weight and written in modern languages, python. It even supports e2e encryption and open source hosting option. You are welcome.
