  • I was looking for a bookmark app that can sync via Syncthing too, but I had no luck finding such an app.

    I think I will end up using markdown editor (notes app), specifically Markor, because it allows appending links to a file (note) through the share menu. It’s using .md files which you can easily sync via Syncthing, and then open the file on desktop with some markdown editor like Joplin.
    On desktop you would have to manually copy and paste the link into the file though.

    It’s probably possible to streamline that process more, but if you don’t save a lot of links it’s ok, I guess.








  • From my experience, in chrome browsers, tap and hold context menu will differ in some cases (I’m not exactly sure depending on what), but sometimes you will have the option copy link address which will copy just the image link, and in other cases you will only have share image option which I personally never use.
    It seems like share image option copies the image into the clipboard and if you choose to include the link, it will also paste the link bellow (link to the page where you copied the image from, and not the direct link to the image, it seems like). And that will work (including the link) only if you share the image to a specific app. If you choose copy image option from the share menu, it will only copy the image to clipboard without the link, even if you choose to include the link as well.
    So in such cases you would have to long tap on the image, open image in new tab and then copy the link from the url bar, which is how I always done it, but it is pretty stupid that you can’t copy only the link from that share menu.
    Maybe there is some other way that I don’t know of ¯\(ツ)

    In firefox browser you will always have the option to copy image location, which will copy just the image link, I’m not sure about other browsers.


  • I was just messing with the settings and this is what worked for me…

    In Heliboard settings:

    • Set the language to your native language.
      You may have to download and add the dictionary for your native language. For my native language it was missing, so it asked me to add it.
    • Turn on the multilingual typing option for English.

    In system settings:

    Go to Spell Checker settings (you can search that term in system settings, for me it was in Languages & Input > Tools category > Spell Checker)

    • You want to enable the spell checker if it isn’t already.
    • Set languages to your native language.
    • Set the default spell checker to Heliboard.

  • Fair enough. It’s nice to have something that just works out of the box and doesn’t need much configuration, for sure.
    And even though most points you have mentioned are actually doable in OBS, they need additional setup/configuration or a plugin. But I personally don’t mind that, and in most cases I prefer that, especially granular configuration of video settings.
