Yes, might be worth testing, thanks.

Re: Looking for a simple way to sync notes between devices

Warpinator also seems too complex for what I was initially looking for. Update: I have tried out GoTodo because it has apps and browser extension for all kinds of platforms, but it was too bloated and unstraightforward for my needs. I'm afraid this will be the case with Simplenote and Standard Notes...

Re: Signal - cross-platform secure messaging (64-bit only)

Concerning Telegram and Signal: In my country, Telegram has a reputation for hosting groups of conspiracy theorists and right-wing activists, whereas Signal (alongside Threema) has become a welcome alternative messenger for people who want to avoid WhatsApp (for fear of what happens to their data wi...

Looking for a simple way to sync notes between devices

Dear all, I'm looking for a simple way to sync notes between devices like my Samsung Galaxy 8 and my Surface Go 2 in Windows S Mode. I found an app on Google Play Store (Floaty) that claims to sync with MS Sticky Notes, but it seems totally buggy and does not really work. If it did, it would be perf...

Re: PolyEdit Lite - Tiny Word Processor

I would be a little concerned that the last (beta) version dates back to 2010, but that may be subject to individual needs and uses.

Re: Everyone, drop the freeware you use daily down below!

Firefox and Thunderbird have become the only portable applications I use every day. Digital transformation hit my job hard. So I am ever more forced to use mobile devices running Android or Windows S that rely on their own app stores, or I have to use web services. From time to time, I use foobar200...

Re: StarOffice (LibreOffice and OpenOffice) variants

I mostly use MS Office at home. I still prefer its interface and usability even though I am not a power user by far. Mostly Libre Office at work (cheaper for the boss, which is OK for me), sometimes OpenOffice at work (on some older machines that the admin didn't update...), sometimes our cloud-base...

Re: Xinorbis - powerful hard disk analyser

The entry was updated to v8.2.1, but the website says v8.1.13 as of June 2019 and the download page says v8.1.10 as of January 2019. What's correct?

Re: LibreOffice Portable

NeoOffice isn't free and it's for MacOS. The latest version is called 2017, but they quite regularly seem to fix bugs and offer patches.

Re: Thunderbird news

Thanks for replying, John. I also posted in your forums, hope that's OK. I am using v60.8.0 on Win10 1903, I only use ThunderbirdPortable.exe and I have disabled the internal updater. I always manually update (install over) with the PA.com release. Roaming\Pending Pings is empty, but in Roaming\Thun...

Re: Thunderbird news

In AppData, I get the folders Local\Thunderbird\updates and Roaming\Thunderbird\Pending Pings. I use the following add-ons: Lightning, Manually Sort Folders, ImportExportTools. Thunderbird Portable is located on a different partition than the system (and AppData). I never had an installed version of...
