Wow, that looks fantastic. Congrats!

Out of curiosity, what are you planning to store there? Wine? Ice? 😁

@Bitrot Just search for the book you want, and if it isn't on your instance, it will give you the option to import it from other instances, Inventaire or OpenLibrary. Then you'll be able to edit the details. If none of these options are the right ones, you can manually add the book by clicking the last option.

But indeed, it does have a lot of missing books and editions of books. If you do not have the patience to add them, then it is clearly not for you.

Inventaire is also AP enabled, despite being centralized, tho.

@MidwayTheMagnificent I guess you could always archive posts and whatnot on wayback machine or archive.ph and follow the fediverse links for the full discussions? (i.e. the fediverse icon next to each comment/post).

I'll try and archive myself as many threads as possible as well.

It sucks because I found many interesting communities on this server besides the Fountain Pen one.

Thanks @hsl for your hard work!

@MidwayTheMagnificent I personally just finished archiving @onebag @happiness and @solotravel. Both on wayback machine and on archive.ph for redundance. I archived both post links and post links with ?scrollToComments=true. Good luck with the rest whenever you can if you start to 😁 It's already late here for me.

@hsl I have lots of notes from my college & high school years, all scattered through various notebooks that I had to take from home when I left. So it's all a mess that I'm not that fond of. My country is also one where the educational system is pretty digitally backwards, so while on college students with laptops became quite ubiquitous over time (I started using a Lenovo Yoga 8 tablet, then a netbook, then the same tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse) - even having a tablet in high school was short of a crime, unofficially.

I do indeed have notes scattered through apps, but I find it way easier exporting these and putting everything together, while I cannot easily do this with notebooks.

At my current job, I received a notebook though, and a 4-colors ballpoint pen. I started taking my training notes there, and I must say I find it easier to retain the info and memorize at least where can I find a specific information - something that I'm not sure I could've achieved with a digital note-taking app, no matter how good its indexing is. Also, if you want to schematize things, nothing beats pen and paper imo. Sure, you can buy an expensive tablet with a pen for the screen (an iPad, or a Galaxy Note). But you can get a pen for, what? Less than a dollar at a corner store? (with 2-3 RON I can buy a set of pens, and they hold me for years - probably way more than the aforementioned devices).

With that said, I am still looking for the perfect note-taking app for my personal use. It should have the following features:

• As small as possible, so I can install it on older, not-so-large storage capacity devices of mine.
• The ability to save notes in a format that can be opened on PC (either with the same app or other apps).

I already found some that might fit the bill, but I am not sure which one to pick. Guess I'll figure it out.
