With Superlist, Wunderlist Makers Pick Up Where They Left Off

Web page divided into three vertical panes. Left most shows options such as inbox, today, tasks, messages, meeting notes. Middle pane has large heading Meeting Notes, with sample text for a meeting. Right pane has a head Make a thumbnail, with a drop down menu listing options such as task, paragraph, heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, divider, bullet list.
Remember Wunderlist? It was a highly popular and well-made cloud-based to-do/task app that was free to use on all major mobile and desktop platforms, including Linux, until Microsoft acquired it and eventually shut it down.

Well, now it’s back — sort of.

The creators of Wunderlist have launched a brand-new to-do app called Superlist, positioning it as a superior spiritual successor to its esteemed predecessor.

Superlist boasts a clean, streamlined design, a easy-to-master feature set, and a liberal pricing structure allowing free, personal usage “forever.”

This is interesting as I was a big user of Wunderlist back in the day. After Microsoft bought it out my todos went all over the place and were a real mess. I have just this month started paying for a premium account with TickTick after evaluating a few of the most popular options. TickTick is about half the price of Superlist (also with a free tier). I’ll probably stay where I am now, but it would have been interesting to have evaluated Superlist, although $8 pm is above my cut-off amount, so like Todoist it would probably not have been an option for a premium account.

Put sticky notes on your Linux KDE desktop, with alarms

Bild/Foto
KDE Plasma Desktop has digital sticky notes, and in many ways they’re even more useful than the physical ones. The application is called KNotes, and if you have random ideas that you feel like jotting down, it’s probably something you want to consider for your own Linux desktop.

Sticky Notes are great for keeping game shortcuts, often used Linux commands, etc quickly accessible. I also have notes for tips on using Canva, Kdenlive, Amateur Radio protocols and callsigns, and more. They’re on hand to quickly expand the notes as needed.

You can choose different colours and set alarms for them. The whole Kontact suite is actually interesting to explore. If you want something a bit more advanced, I use GloboNotes, but that requires Java to run. Of course, Java based apps though also will run on Windows and other OSes where Java can run.
