Markdown really should have more widespread support than it does. It's just the right mix between plain text and an office document, I took my college notes with it in fact cause of how fast it was to format stuff. But as far as I know, there's no default program on any of the (major) OS's or Distros for viewing it.
Maybe it's just due to a lack of standards for formatting or something, but regardless I do wish it was used and supported more.
It's great seeing HeliBoard come so far, especially after it seemed like OpenBoard was potentially dead. I'm still a (firewalled on CalyxOS) GBoard user, but HeliBoard is the closest I've found to a viable replacement for it. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what future developments it has in store.
Neo-Launcher is still being worked on, they are expecting to push version 1.0 later this year to GitHub, but progress has been steady from what I know. You can get the latest beta version of Neo-Launcher from their Telegram to try out. Don't let the "beta" part turn you off, it's basically production ready, I've been using it now as my launcher for well over a year, possibly even 2 at this point.
I'm not sure I understand, what's wrong with this commit?
Looks like it, it's available as a zip in the releases along with the compiled app, but isn't yet uploaded fully on GitHub.
8/10 map, ngl. Would play over Summit or Apocalypse any day.
I can also confirm it doesn't work on a de-Googled device, even with something like MicroG (though it may work on GrapheneOS's sandbox thing).
I know some people won't like this, but overall I think it is a cleaner look and also makes full use of the screen real estate available. Now it's not like... 100% ideal from a usage standpoint, but I think it's better than just having black bars are the top and bottom (or sides in landscape mode), as that just sorta defeats the point of an edge to edge display.
Voyager is absolutely fantastic, even as a PWA. Eternity is very competent too, especially if you are/were an Infinity for Reddit user.
I don't know if it's the "TOS-Breaking" you're looking for, but I've been using Forkgram for a while now and really appreciate the QOL improvements it has, as well as the ability to hide the Premium stuff you aren't using.
I think you left off Session from this list. Based on everything I know, it'll probably come in number 2, or even number 1 if it beats SimpleX.
That's what I mean by a lack of a standard for markdown. There needs to be at least a core standards for stuff (like bolding and italics), that is universal across stuff. Then if a program wants to add onto it, that's fine. But just the core parts being standardized would help a lot.
