@tykayn :bloblurk: Ooops, it was item 462 on my TODO, went to rank 987 in one year. 😆

Yes, I went to read quickly the website/doc/a ytb tutorial; but I can't wrap my brain around editor like Emacs.

My best TODO are on paper, on a A5 pad with 5mm grid; it's persistent, always on my desk, and I can't reduce or hide the file and pretend it doesn't exists. That works for me, I can color, draw on it, strike full line with passion when something is done, and collect them as diary. 😅

@davidrevoy yup, thats the most important, having a tool that works and that you really use daily.
some common problem with emacs is that it is really ugly by default and you have to change things to have it being used with regular shortcuts to copy and paste. I plan to publish something so that people do not have to learn so much things to use it as a task manager (i tried a lot of them, and still use paper for many things, something like for 30 years), with a beautiful interface just by launching a script or downloading an archive. But it is not yet done. That is a time investment which is worth it, just like migrating from adobe softwares to libre software. plain text is still alive after decades and changing computers.

i am still trying to use something libre in replacement of indesign to make fanzines, but #scribus is really hard. If you have tips around it i would love to share them :)

@tykayn Oh good for a user-friendly approach. 👍

About your fan-zine; except Scribus, I see only Libre Office Draw and recently Inkscape having text boxes, PDF export and multipages. Sometime, its enough for a small booklet to share on the web.

But Scribus will be the only one to have a complete CMYK workflow and will have more option for fonts and text (eg. chaining texts boxes together, making vector shapes and filling them with text, etc).

Pour moi ce qui a tout changé c'est d'utiliser Ergoemacs, qui donne accès à des raccourcis clavier bien plus intuitifs et prend en charge le bépo 😉
