I also moved away from Notion a while ago for being crazy slow. For personal note taking I use Obsidian, big fan of it.

For my dev team I recently moved us to eraser.io. Still in the early stages with it but it's working well enough for us atm.


Not sure. We're currently using GitLab wikis a lot, oddly enough.

Obsidian is nice but start time on mobile is bad too.


I second the Obsidian recommendation.


I've come across this library a lot but never used it. I did inherit a project that uses chakra-ui though and have very much enjoyed using it. This seems similar, has anyone used both and have a preference for one or the other?


I've always been afraid to use Ant because it's Chinese: https://github.com/ant-design

Not necessarily just because of CCP shenanigans, but also US ones (like if an administration suddenly decides to impose software import restrictions).

MUI is international (founded in France & UK: https://mui.com/about/), and Chakra is Nigerian (https://v2.chakra-ui.com/)

It saddens me that this matters in this day and age, but if you're adopting a UI kit for long-term corporate usage, it is worth considering...


I ended up moving away from Ant on a project a few years back. It frustrated me that troubleshooting with specific code snippets would often bring me to Chinese-only Github issues / etc.


Conversely, I've always wondered how the Chinese (or any non-native English speaker) feels about that... must be really hard to be a dev if you can't easily read & write help requests =/

Have you used redux-sagas on any projects before this one? How do you feel it compares with redux-thunk?

I've used redux-thunk for all of my past projects but recently inherited a project using sagas. It seems to be pretty unorganized and I'm wondering how much effort I should put into cleaning it up, if it's even possible.


Sagas are an incredibly powerful tool... and 95% of Redux apps don't need them. Most apps should stick with thunks until they truly have a need for very complex async logic.

See this Redux FAQ entry for more details:

https://redux.js.org/faq/actions#what-async-middleware-shoul...


I far prefer redux-sagas personally. I find the generator/yield style to really reduce the mental overhead of a saga's flow as compared to a thunk.


Have you tried thunks using async/await? IMO its all the benefits of being easy to read and understand without having to learn a totally new concept (generators).


Yep, agreed. The biggest missing capability there is being able to _respond_ to dispatched actions, which thunks can't do. But, most apps don't immediately need to do that anyway.

Somewhat related, I reached out to a few people on the "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" threads and had several responses, one of which I just started on.

I wouldn't be surprised if people had similar luck on all such threads.
