Comment on 10 Reasons Cherrytree Is My Go-To Desktop Note-Taking App by David R

I used CherryTree many years ago a few times. My main dislike was that I could not PASTE rich text. The formatting was always lost. I simply would not take the time to reformat anything because formatting was lost upon pasting. But after reading how well it works now, I tried it again. I tried two versions on a Mac (Sonoma 14.4.1): - The dmg/disk image file for the Mac was version 1.0.2, which I found here: https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/cherrytree_macos/-/releases - I then tried the Homebrew install at the command line. It gave me version 1.1.4, and it is opened from the command line (vs with a "cask"). Nothing worked in either version to keep the formatting while pasting. While I didn't like that, the other functions worked well. I also tried a flash drive. I left it in its original format, FAT32. I simply copied the CherryTree file and the app from the dmg (version 1.0.2) to the flash and went to my Mac laptop (Ventura 13.6.5). CherryTree opened the file easily, and embedded files (text, jpg, mp4) opened in their default apps. I edited one of the notes, and added a screenshot. Then went back to my desktop. It opened with the edit and screenshot showing up as expected. I also tried Kubuntu 24.04 in a Virtual Machine (VMWare Fusion 13.6). The software installer Discover installed version 1.1.2 of CherryTree. The paste function in it kept the rich formatting. Why there is a difference I don't know, but I liked it. I also found an additional option upon starting up in Kubuntu. There was a fifth option for "Multiple Files in Hierarchical Folder Structure". I tried it. I got a folder that I could open, and browse through nodes as folders, and see the files inside them. This showed that some picture files were converted to PNG files, vs staying as jpg or animated gif (and no animation as a PNG either). The rich files are xml files. If I can get the paste on my Mac to do the rich text, I will probably start using it regularly...

It will redirect you to the ZeroNet homepage on Firefox or any other default browser on your device. From there, you can access the various dark websites unique to ZeroNet, such as ZeroTalk (a chat service), ZeroMail, ZeroBlog, etc. Just press ‘Activate’ and that service will open. For example, ZeroMail allows you to create an anonymous email account after you hit ‘Register.’ It’s a decentralized Internet, so it takes a while to get used to. Also, ZeroNet falls within the definition of the dark web, as these websites are like a parallel Internet to the one we’re using right here. All web links will have the 127.0.0.1 prefix. I saw a ‘site storage limit modified’ option. I am not a ZeroNet insider. The whole reason for their existence is to stay off the grid. They have a ‘Help’ section. It might involve possibly hosting peers yourself. Please visit any ZeroNet forums or other discussion areas to get insider access. If you just want to browse some dark web contents, try Hyphanet (Freenet) or I2P...
