That markdown mirror is a pretty neat feature. I've been using Trillium for my notes and the way they save/store the notes is actually one of the things I dislike about it even though I love the application itself. I tried at one point exporting everything to markdown and it worked... but Trillium allows you to have notes in multiple places but they exist essentially as just a pointer in the backend to that note. So it made the export a bit wonky as some instances of a note are just an empty shell and don't have the actual contents. So you have to try and move notes around to get their markdown files in the right places.
I've ended up still sticking with Trilium however as I like being able to have notes in multiple locations like this.
This markdown mirror is a partial solution to a problem that does not exist in "normal" Logseq (what's being rebranded to Logseq OG). The markdown files ARE the data (which syncs beautifully over Dropbox and the like.)
I am a Logseq user and I was under the impression that development had stalled or better, stabilized (frankly, most software does NOT need a constant stream of updates). Based on this post, it looks like they're back - and they've chugged some vibe juice.
This was the mainstream killer app for RSS. And it was great. But then some podcasting services (looking at you, Spotify and others...) decided to force us to use our browser or some app instead of giving us the freedom to download files for offline use.

Podcasts are pretty simple, and those services you're talking about aren't podcasts—nor is anything else that keeps you from downloading files like that (say, for transcoding and then dumping into/onto your player to listen to it how you want). It's not even as if insisting that people not say "podcast" when talking about something that clearly isn't one leaves us without a way to talk about them.
In the first place, "podcast" is not a genre label. There are tons of (actual) podcasts that don't follow the unscripted-banter-plus-question-and-answer/interview format.
And in the second place, all those things that do stop you from downloading them? Yeah, we have a word you can use already: they're just "shows".
Orleans seems to have stagnated greatly past year or two. Someone raised this issue over a year ago(that only like one person was working on it and seemingly part time) and they swore it was still going to be getting resources and continuing R&D.
Fast forward to now and it's only bug and compatibility fixes. A shame cause reminders v2 would have been an amazing addition.
There were a bunch of new features added to Orleans in the past year, including Live Grain Migration, IAsyncEnumerable support, Cosmos DB & Redis providers.
I think workflows (durable async/await) are more useful than Reminders v2 alone (in some sense, workflows are Reminders v2), but an enhanced reminders system is likely part of that, as is the new log-structured storage system. The log structured storage issue discusses this: https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/issues/7691. We've been experimenting with a programming model for workflows and intend to share that more broadly soon. Currently, we are planning for .NET 9, so feedback is welcome (best provided via GitHub rather than here). Aspire will make it easier to build and deploy Orleans apps, which is one of the harder points for people getting started with Orleans currently.
For anyone following along; Reuben is that "one person" lol.
I was being a bit hyperbolic with "only bug fixes" but.. A bit.
Haven't seen anything around workflows but will check it out and the structured storage stuff. Interested in running my own workflow engine on Orleans and reminders v2 looked like the perfect Quartz.Net replacement for my needs.
Thanks for replying; hoping you would. Someone asked about the future of Orleans 8 on GH a couple weeks back but nobody from the project chimed in last I looked. Know how it is with PMs and BAs and other work though.
That is how XNA went away, its champions eventually left XBox business unit, and as expected it was back to plain C++ and DirectX, instead of having someone else pick it up.
Microsoft seems weird tho. They dont really support any recommended way to do .NET on Mac and you have to rely on Rider or half ass VS Code experience.
You're right. They did until recently, but it was bad. Now they seem to have moved attention to creating a great experience in VSCode but some of it may require a MSDN sub (they seem to be making the core experience free, with paid extensions to give more Visual Studio-like features in VSCode).
It's not a Microsoft tool. For a supposedly fully cross-platform language it seems pretty bad to only support first-class developer experience on Windows.
Besides the obvious difference in execution engine which is explained in the link, I noticed the same thing and after doing some research, I found out that Temporal cofounder Samar Abbas was the creator of Amazon Flow Framework in 2009 and then the creator of the Azure Durable Task Framework in 2014, then moved on to Uber and co-created Candence with Maxim Fateev before they both eventually founded Temporal in 2019. https://www.temporal.io/about
On the 2nd week at the beginning of the Khartoum war, the bus companies started to refuse electronic payments and only take cash because they didn't trust the banking system will remain working.
