Idk, I would be cautious about trusting my personal notes to a proprietary piece of software...

LibreOffice opens my old WordPerfect documents just fine
WordPerfect really comes from a different time. Good look reading the stuff from your iOS notes app that saves everything somewhere in the cloud and that has no export option in 10 years.

Preposterous. You need only install the iCloud client, and they (along with everything else in your iCloud drive) sync just fine.

That website was the fastest loading website I’ve ever visited.
It loaded quicker than this comment section on my Lemmy app

Man alive, all that time I wasted learning LaTeX in that case. Supports tables properly, "floats" pictures and figures about without messing up the flow of text, exceptional support for equations, beautiful printed output...
Suffers from a completely insane macro-writing language, and its markup is more intrusive in the text than markdown's is. Also, if you have very specific formatting output requirements (for a receiving publication, for instance) then it can be somewhat painful to whip into shape. Plain-text gang forever, though.
haaave you heard about our lord and saviour Typst?
same layout algorithm as LaTeX, but:
- simpler markup
- sane, consistent scripting language
- fast compilation, including incremental updates so you can have a process watching your file and instantly create a new PDF on changes
- easy collaborative editing through their web app

You will probably be a fan of https://kagi.com, then. I know it’s what I first noticed and what stood out to me a couple years back…
I pay for and use kagi, but it is one of the slowest websites I use, so I am not really sure what this comment is referencing? Is it fast for others?

Your kids in 20 years trying to find your will, will love you.
Search around for “death file” - you'll be surprised how many things people need to write down over & above their will, and the next generation might just search for exactly this

AFAIK there's no way to format an underline in markdown.
Anyone know of a workaround?

Think html renders. May not be exactly right but where I'd start

Static webpage generator like Hugo, probably.

Hm, really? Curios, because it most definitely is quite fast for me… May I ask (very approximately) what region you’re living in? Maybe they lack a data center “nearby”?

I am connected to their US-East server, with a latency often around 70. Not really sure where that datacenter is, but I am in southern Ontario, Canada. We often get put onto servers in New York or around there.
