  • Xmpp is old and has no traction. Matrix is new and there are many people believing in it. There is a lot of money put on matrix. A lot of people want matrix to succeed. Especially companies, agencies and governments love matrix. Jumping on a train that already moves forward is easier than trying to push a standing train.

    With xmpp, or signal I’ve got all my messages on my device. Distributing the info to other devices is difficult. With matrix everything sits on the server and distributes the info to the clients. That’s like my file cloud, or my photo cloud or my music server, or my document server. Everything is saved centrally on a server and all is independent of the consumer device. I can use multiple devices and everything sits on the server. That’s great for me as a user, it’s easy.

    Xmpp is scattered which is great on one hand but matrix development is moving very fast. Xmpp can’t compete with that.

    What’s the advantage of xmpp over signal for the end user?

    You can easily add POIs with streetcomplete, osmand or directly on osm.org . Just add POIs whenever you search for it and it is missing. It’ll take some time depending on your area but if you don’t start today, there won’t be an alternative for you tomorrow. Ask a friend to do the same. My area has more pois and details and is more up to date and the location is more accurate than google.





  • You can use any text editor, e.g. kate, open a terminal and use typst watch document.typ or simply typst w document.typ and have any pdf viewer at the side. It’ll auto update the new output in real time.

    Your screenshot actually shows the webeditor of typst.

    This is the app you shared:

    The web app is not open source. If you want multi user collaboration, use another text editor.

    I thought you wanted something that’s not google? You’ve got the chance to contribute to it. You don’t have to, but if you do, the places you visited will be there much faster. In my area there’s everything by now and much more than google has
