  • Me again. Last time tonight, I promise.

    My favorite features so far, making the edit toolbar disappear in source mode and Focus mode. Quick access is also really useful.

    One more thing I don’t like, it was adding a header to my edited notes.

    Example:

    ---
    id: "9242199e-992b-4c58-9b4f-85a6949d424d"
    title: "Books"
    tags: []
    pinned: false

    This doesn’t look great in MacOS preview. This might be one of those things that it was simplest to just add this directly to the file rather than creating some kind of database or a bunch of dot files. Again, not a deal breaker for me. Would adding it to the bottom be possible instead?

    Thank you.


  • Hi OP. I am really enjoying using HelixNotes.

    I love the way it looks and all the features. I was able to use the same folder I use MarkFlowy and Marknote.

    My only critique is the Ctrl key in Windows and Linux menu shortcuts is usually changed to Cmd for Mac. It really isn’t a big deal but I think a lot of Mac users will notice this instantly. I tried creating an note with Cmd + N since is the default for all other Mac apps. I saw the Shortcuts in the Info section and I was hoping you could customize the Keyboard Shortcuts, but you can’t.

    It isn’t a big deal with me. So far I am enjoying this more than MarkFlowy and Marknote. If you don’t change for whatever reason, I understand and I will continue to use your HelixNotes.

    Again thank you for your work.













  • As the U.S. government decided to restrict some technologies to China, it should have been more serious about these restrictions. But due to a somewhat permissive licensing policy maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, due to the Chinese firms being able to smuggle or buy these technologies on the black market, due to the fierce resilience of companies like Huawei that refused to fail, and due to the very extensive lobbying efforts of American companies to continue to supply to Chinese customers, the export control policy was severely weakened.

    I never really thought about the black market. If each country has a different tariff depending on their relationship to this administration, then a country that doesn’t comply can still get what they need from the US through other countries. Really best of both worlds.

    It doesn’t make sense to turn off the U.S. as an attractor to some of the scientists yearning for some aspect of freedom, and it doesn’t make sense to deport a lot of people who could form the manufacturing industrial base in the U.S.

    I never understood why the US would educate people and then try to kick them out in a short time frame. You are basically making other countries better and gaining little from it.
