Just updated #obsidian and saw there's a new core plugin called bases, i.e. #Databases

help.obsidian.md/bases

Will check it out... but in the meantime, I'm happy to get my vault synced to my phone with #syncthing—which will be important because I'll only be travelling with my phone on the next trip!

I hope to get a good Android #IDE so I could still access my Hugo blog and work on drafts during transit...

What's your favourite IDE on #Android? I see mainly 2 picks:

Spyder 6.0.7 was released a couple of days ago! 🕸️

This was one week after we released version 6.0.6. Having two releases so close together was not the plan, but in fixing a bug in 6.0.6 we introduced another one for some users, so we had to make another release. Apologies to everybody affected!

Se ha publicado la primera RC (Release Candidate) del #ide ligero Lite-XL, cuya principal novedad es el cambio a SDL3.

Otras novedades son:

* Avisos de patrones malformados y desactivarlos
* El plugin de CSS ahora reconoce más tipos de unidades
* Se ha corregido el uso excesivo de CPU por dirmonitor en Linux
* Reemplazadas las funciones de memoria por sus equivalentes SDL
* Mejorada la compatibilidad con WASM
* etc.

🚀 6.1 alpha 2 was released a few days ago and comes with a couple of neat improvements for our new multi-cursor support! 🥰

💪 We have tons of ideas to keep improving Spyder! But we need your support to implement the most impactful ones ♥️

That’s why we created a new Support page on our website! Check it out at spyder-ide.org/donate and donate to the projects you’d like to see in future versions! 🥰

If you have more ideas to improve Spyder, we’d love to hear them too! 😍

So I recently learned that I need to get away from #PyCharm since #JetBrains has decided to "go AI":

jetbrains.com/pycharm/features

When looking at my other options, I saw that #Spyder (spyder-ide.org/) looked interesting, then scrolled down and saw that it was funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuc), which sounds like something I should avoid.

I'm currently thinking Eric (eric-ide.python-projects.org/) might be the way to go. I don't need (or want) anything fancy. I just want a #FOSS #Python #IDE that works well and will keep working without trying to charge me money, sell my data, or accost me with #LLM code vomit.

Are there any better (or different) options? Is there anything good I can install from the package manager on #Debian ?
