  • I want to love this, and I just signed up, but I think I fail to see this platform’s differentiator: why would I go there rather than any of the other communities/forums that already exist? For example, I develop a tool for music performance/production in Pure Data, what will I find on UnfinishedProjects that I wouldn’t find on LinuxMusicians or Pure Data’s forum? I tinker with Arduino, why would I go to UnfinishedProjects rather than an Arduino forum? I’m slowly building my own answer as I write this, but IMO that’s what this post and the welcome page should be answering clearly: Why join this, rather than the thousand other options?

    Also, as far as I understand, the wiki is meant to be an easy-to-browse directory of all projects that may already be discussed somewhere in the forum, but I see no clear connection between them. If I find an interesting project in the wiki, shouldn’t there be a simple way to find and join existing conversations on that topic? And the other way around, it would be nice to build a wiki page from information entered in the forum itself. I’m just thinking that any extra step in creating and finding stuff will slow down the growth of the platform.

    Apologies if I just missed existing features, I’ve only spent 20min on it and I’m trying to give constructive first-impression feedback :)



  • I’ve used Logseq for 2-3 years but it’s slow and a pain to use on mobile. I discovered Tiddlywiki in December, I love how customizable it is, but it’s been taking me a while to tweak it to match my usual workflow. Running it via nodejs server on android (termux) and laptops (so I’m accessing it on localhost on all devices) and syncing the wikis between devices using Syncthing.
