In both cases, I have to convert my documents from markdown. I convert New Leaf Journal articles to .odt for editing while I convert my legal work to to .docx. (See my article on my New Leaf Journal workflow.)\nSince switching to Linux in 2020, I have used Arch-based Linux distributions. I began using Ghostwriter on Manjaro after my experiences using markdown to compose \nour Buttondown-powered newsletters inspired me to begin working in markdown. I moved from Manjaro to Arch's closer cousin, EndeavourOS, in August 2022, where I remain today.\nGhostwriter has generally worked for me without issues. Early on, I had an issue with it sometimes not connecting to Pandoc, but that went away at some point. Since KDE took over development of Ghostwriter things were largely flawless. However, a few days ago, I noticed after updating either Pandoc or KDE (I did not catch which) that Ghostwriter was no longer recognizing Pandoc as a conversion option. This was a mild problem for me because I never took the time to learn the Pandoc CLI syntax (I really should get around to that). I could use MultiMarkdown to convert to .odt, but that vitiated many of my markdown formatting choices.\nHowever, before I had to deal with the issue for a work project, Pandoc returned as a conversion option after something was updated. Problem solved. It only proved to be a pain in the case of one somewhat long article wherein I had to re-do some of my formatting in Libre Office Writer.\nIf you enjoy strange Ghostwriter issues, take a trip back in time to learn about a segfault issue I had on a fresh Manjaro install in 2021.", "link": "https://newleafannex.bearblog.dev/ghostwriter-pandoc-issue-and-fix/", "publishedOn": "2023-04-13T22:09:05.023Z", "wordCount": 708, "title": "Ghostwriter-Pandoc Issue and Fix", "imageUrl": "https://www.gutenberg.org/files/10726/10726-h/images/fig_23sm.png" }, { "id": "https://newleafannex.bearblog.dev/my-unique-phil-mickelson-article/", "author": null, "description": "The tagline of my main project, The New Leaf Journal, is \"where the leaves are perennially virid.\" As I explained in a post on the inspiration for the tagline, the slogan gets at two ideas.

My early impressions were very favorable because, by combining feed reading and read-it-later into a local app, it perfectly suits my reading-flow (see my post on combining feeds with a read-it-later solution). However, I had one pressing issue with Handy Reading:\nHandy Reading re-fetches old, previously seen articles from a small number of feeds, which is a bit annoying.\nTwo days later, I think that I have tentatively resolved the issue. By default, Handy Reading has a short \"keep old articles\" time. It seems that if a feed is offering old articles outside the scope of Handy Reading's kept article time, it will re-fetch those old articles and display them is new even if you have already marked them as read in the app. Fortunately, Handy Reading allows you to set the keep old articles period on a feed-by-feed basis. I have been doing that with the offending feeds and so far the results have been good.\nProvided no new issues pop up, I will try a few additional features of Handy Reading before proceeding to a review. One issue that I am particularly interested in is testing its import/export functionality, since that proved to be an issue with my previous solution -- Flym DecSync. I recently talked to one Mastodon user who reported that Handy Reading does not handle Mastodon feeds, which is true.

Since the company is tight-lipped about exactly which processors are powering these devices, it’s hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison, but it sure sounds like the new model should be a bit more responsive.Both models have just 1GB of RAM, but the original InkPad Color had just 16GB of built-in storage, while the new model has twice as much. That said, it seems like the company might have omitted one feature when building the new model: there’s no longer a microSD card reader.\nI have the original PocketBook InkPad color and I generally like it. Most of the improvements in V2 would be welcome (albeit well short of prompting me to upgrade), but dropping the microSD card slot is a bad move. The article suggests that this may have been done to increase the tablet's water resistance, but I will take the SD card over being able to submerge my e-reader in 2 meters of water.", "link": "https://hypothes.is/a/5YeSROUKEe2BBZv3_Im23A", "publishedOn": "2023-04-27T14:50:48.020Z", "wordCount": 18, "title": "PocketBook InkPad Color 2 brings a faster processor, IPX8 rating, and more storage (7.8 inch eReader) - Liliputing", "imageUrl": "/assets/images/share-image.png" } ] }, { "title": "Victor V.
