Can you cite any stats or studies that show that this is happening in any substantial amounts? This seems to be one of those "it just makes common sense" when the underlying data is ignored or assumed.

Exactly! One of the reasons I vibed my own Ulysses/Bear similar app for journaling and notetaking with the essential features I need and no subscription.

Most all of the apps sync with iCloud so it syncs across all of my devices.

However the MediaWatch app syncs between me and my wife which iCloud does not support (as a sidenote, this is one of the hallucination traps that both Claude and ChatGPT led me down -- both said it was possible, and after a few weeks and many, many hours, I learned the major constraints. I was not wanting any of my apps on the Appstore, so that blew that option). Anyway, I ended up making a small simple SQLite database using python on my Pi and use that for my sync needs. The devices only sync while at home, which was not a problem for me. Also I'm not exposing the database to external security issues.

  So excited to be getting to my backlog of apps that I've wanted but couldn't take the time to develop on my own.  I'm 66 and have been in the software field in various capacities (but programming mostly as a hobby).  Here's a partial list of apps I've completed in the last few months:

- Media Watch app to keep a list of movies and shows my wife and I want to watch

- Grocery List with some tracking of frequent purchases

- Health Log for medical history, doc appointments and past visits

- Habits Tracker with trends I’m interested

- Daily Wisdom Reader instead of having multiple ebooks to keep track of where I'm at

- A task manager similar to the old LifeBalance app

- A Home Inventory app so that I can track what I have, warranty, and maintenance

- An ios watch app to see when I'm asleep so that it can turn off my music or audiobook

- An ios watch chess tactics trainer app

- some games

Many of these are similar to paid offerings, but those didn't check off all the features I really wanted, so I vibe-coded my own. They all do what I want, the way I want it to.

This is exactly the type of project I would love to do to my 2017 27" iMac Retina 5k. It's getting a bit slow, so I would love to salvage the beautiful screen and drive it with a new mini. But alas I can't find any similar kits like the Juicy Crumb Docklite.

It does feel like a native Mac app and is quick and responsive. Is there a way to modify the key hotkeys to be like Total Commander? At this point I don't want to have to learn another set of keystrokes. I briefly looked at it and hit space to select a few files, and it opened them, and then I hit Cmd+D to get a quick directory and instead duplicated the file. So it seems that a key mapping from us old commander users must have been done by someone.

Well said and that about covers it for me. Once you learn the commands, there is very little thinking needed to traverse the file structure, picking/moving/modifying files, synching and comparing, all at blazing speed. It is the first app I add to any OS I'm working with.

I use DC on Mac and TC on Win. One of the problems with Mac DC is that the key reassignment don't use the standard Mac Control, Option, Command keys. They do map to the Win equivalents of Ctrl, Alt, Win keys but not always. And trying to override the Mac's almost hard key assignment of the F1-F12 keys is problematic.

Anyone ever see WP source code, or maybe an open source clone project? Many aspects of WP (mostly the reveal codes) is still useful (much like markdown), that I'm surprised that an up to date open source app isn't available.

That would be a worthwhile project.

Isn't hard to get a job at a university if you don't have a PhD or are a candidate (at least in US)?

While MS Word does have Reveal Formatting, it is really not a good replacement for Reveal Codes. It's a clunky way to see isolated formating for a short portion of text. For example, how to search for all places in the text for a font change, or margin change, or section format change. It's difficult to also show where certain formatting starts or stops. Under WP, you can instantly scan the entire document looking for those changes. Not so with MS Word. That being said, RF is better to compare 2 sections of text to immediately show their differences.
