While I understand the lack of proper open source alternatives for some software like AutoCAD and After Effects, it always felt weird that the best IDEs/Text Editors are made by big corporations, because you know, these are the tools programmers use. I tried vim/neovim, which I enjoy using, but I've come to prefer visual editors instead of text based. Kate looks promising, and I'm willing to contribute to it in my free time, but it just has that "amateurish" feel to it that I can't explain. Anyone aware of other alternatives?

I mean the dev is obviously free to work on whatever he wants, but I've had a Tildes account for like 2 years now, and honestly it never got any traction. Lemmy on the other hand is getting a lot of users, and it is desperately missing a non-buggy app. Any specific reason?

Feel free to share it with people, or suggest any edits for me to make.

When browsing All, I would like to block some instances, mainly those in a different language that just clutter my feed. Is that possible?

How was it? What programs did you use? I want to try it, but the browser thing is a deal breaker I think.
