With Bear (https://bear.app) supporting custom note metadata now, I can assign slugs to my notes.

This gives the (public) notes on my web site much nicer URLs!

Think I finally put words to something that’s bugged me about #influencer culture ever since it became a thing. Maybe this was obvious to others, but:

What has been lost in the realm of influencers is trust in their genuine interests. If these people need to be paid to talk about everything, how can we trust their opinions on anything?

For #Bear2, we experimented with a few influencers to help promote it. And at least for me, it was a crummy, demoralizing experience.

#bearapp is so easy to use I‘m missing something to explore…
But wait, I can look into #tags and setup some hierarchies with emojis

2nd #Bear2 update today. Don’t know what’s fixed, but cool

And I wish #Bear2 or the company would have a #fediverse account I can follow.

The #Bear2 Apple Watch complication is really nice, I just wish it would directly record (for transcribe) at push.

Yo #Bear2 folks: I know #Apple just released public betas of #iOS17 and #macOS14 Sonoma.

Sorry to say this, but if you need Bear 2 (or 1!) to get stuff done, we recommend staying away from the betas, at least on your must-work devices.

It's just too early in the process to play whack-a-mole with all the weird things that break and then maybe get fixed later or maybe we need to fix them or whoops they somehow broke again.

Be safe out there.

# 2 on #TheVerge let's goooooo #Bear2

My timeline has been filled with excitement about the release of #Bear2 - the app. I’m gonna have to check it out aren’t I?

Slowly getting used to #Bear2.

Imported 1472 notes from #Logseq.
Also change some notes to show attachments directly instead of referencing.

Already had some, „aahh, this is nice" moments

Let’s how this works out...

"Bear 2 is a terrific notes app”

Hooray!

"and it only took forever to build”

Ok 'forever' is a bit harsh it was like three years.

@richardazia I can't solve the WebFinger endpoint problem right now, but I need to shelve this and get back to work. Lots to finish for the #Bear2 launch!

#Bear2 geht in den nächsten Tagen an den Start. Die #Notizen-App aus dem sonnigen Italien bekommt nach einer relativ langen Entwicklungszeit ein überarbeitetes Design, einige neue Funktionen und höhere Abopreise ... https://blog.bear.app/2023/07/get-ready-for-bear-2/
