Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

I think tech "hopping" is a common nerd affliction. I'm terrible for it. In particular I can't seem to stick with one: * Nostr desktop client (snort, nostrudel, coracle, ...) * Nostr iOS client (damus, primal, ...) * Text editor (vim, micro, cotEditor, ...) * Browser (Safari, Vivaldi, Firefox, Brave...) * Notes app/PKM solution (Apple Notes, Obsidian, ...) * Linux distro (Debian, Fedora, Mint, ...) [although I'm mainly macOS these days I still play around with Linux and the BSDs a lot] * VPS (Linode, Vultr, ...) There are probably others I'm forgetting. Anyone else? It's such unproductive behavior but it's hard to control. I stick with a particular choice for a while but inevitably I'm overcome by the nagging feeling that there's a better solution out there I should be trying.

That's ADHD, sir.

I switch between apps depending on the context. Most apps have some aspects that make it perfectly fitting for a specific task, but get in your way in others. Another reason is compartmentalization: one browser per work project, one for research, and one for the rest. This keeps everything neatly separated. With this strategy I get the most out of my affliction, I can tinker when a new challenge appears and I don't know how the handle it the best way yet, but for known tasks I have a system that already works.
