Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • Why Haptic

    We built Haptic to make markdown writing simpler and more accessible. We believe that many existing editors are too complex for simple use cases and day-to-day note writing, so we decided to fix that.

    What Makes Haptic Special

    1. Ready to Use: Open Haptic and start writing. No setup needed.

    2. Simple Design: Clean interface so you can focus on your writing.

    3. Write Anywhere: Use Haptic on any computer with internet. Great for public or work computers where you can’t download software.

    4. Made for Everyone: If other editors feel overwhelming, you’ll like Haptic.

    5. Open Source: Self-host your own instance, giving you full control over your setup.


    Haptic is all about making writing easier. We’ve left out extra features to keep things simple and help you get your ideas down without fuss.

    Note: If you’re looking for a markdown editor with plugin systems, complex setups, or feature-packed interfaces, Haptic might not be for you. But if you want something straightforward that just works, give Haptic a try!















  • Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.

    I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.



  • Nix has more packages , by far. Nix also automatically handles the dependent libraries for each package, which is something you can’t do with brew on immutable systems. This means that Nix can install software like espanso, which wouldn’t work on uBlue derivatives otherwise.

    I really wish the uBlue maintainers would have opted for Nix over brew for that reason. It’s not much more difficult to do nix profile install nixpkgs#package-name over brew install package-name. They could have even aliased it to make it easier.
