Yes and no. The original project is dead but we forked it and continue to maintain and improve it as Pulsar

Joplin is a note taking app that stores its data in an sqlite database (easy to query but not a good idea to write to it) but there is also a command line version and both versions support access via a data API.

I'm going to say Space Beast Terror Fright. I really enjoyed it, it is basically a kind of Space Hulk type game - dark and spooky spaceship filled with unknown horrors you have to fight through and survive with friends. Actively developed too.

Nope, I had Gearheads on my old Windows 95 PC, absolutely loved it. Used to keep spamming the laser robot and bombs.

What about something like navi - https://github.com/denisidoro/navi. Basically an interactive cheat sheet that has commands pre-loaded (or that you can make yourself).

Watch this space for the full history, I'm literally putting the final touches on a blog post that will go into details of how Atom started then how it became Pulsar as a little celebration after we hit 3k stars.

Just to clarify, the Pulsar devs aren't ex-Atom devs. Some of the team are from atom-community but none of the core Pulsar team were part of the official Atom team.

IDS only got in because the labour vote got split between the newly added labour candidate and the one who got disowned by the party

Not counting my "fancy" tea - loose leaf stuff etc. I always default to Twinings English Breakfast.

The Brexit lies and their perpetrators are indelibly etched into my brain.

That is more than fair enough, as said, not trying to get you to donate or anything, especially if you already donate your time. Just hoping to put something out there that some of us really do take the donations seriously and we try to be as transparent as possible with everything, I just wish more projects would do that to shake some of the potential mistrust.

Whilst I do understand that sentiment, with our project we have made as much effort as possible to make sure that nobody thinks we would ever do such a thing.

We are rather tight fisted with our donations and make sure we only spend them when absolutely necessary - none of it goes out as regular stipends for the team and all funds for expenses get sent in response to the actual bills incurred, I don't think any of us would dream of siphoning it into our pockets.

We were even debating if we should use the "standard" funds to foot the bill for a new hosted service thing but felt this was a bit of a grey area - the service would be provided for free but footed by the donors of which only a small percentage would likely use it... We realise just how much of a privilege it is to be in receipt of the funds so we treat them with utmost reverence.

Not that I'm trying to encourage you to donate money to projects rather than time, I very much do the same as you and donate time and effort rather than money, but there are some good guys out there.
