> I really miss tomboy (not the new ng version). I used it for years and it was amazing. ... I really miss it but it was no longer maintained and falling into disrepair on newer OSes due to lacking support for DPI scaling and dark modes.
You could contribute to it, and try to bring the project back to life!!! (I mean, any/most of us here on HN could!)
Tomboy is free and open-source software, licensed under the LGPL license[1]. It's also written in C# (which is pretty wonderful language to work with on a GUI application, especially compared to C or C++ or even maybe Vala).
It would be wonderful to breathe a new life to it.
I can't really, I haven't developed for years anymore. I don't have the chops to do it.
Also, the Gnome team seems to have deprecated it in favour of a rebuild called tomboy-ng that's written in something new (Delphi I think?). And lacks the benefits of the old one like fast responsiveness and auto hyperlinking. I don't like it at all :)
