====== Software I Want ======

===== All-In-One P2P Client =====
Software to search and swap files over multiple protocols/networks.

Closest I've found is:

  * [[MLDonkey]]\\ eDonkey and Overnet client primarily, but also supports [[BitTorrent]], [[Gnutella]], [[DirectConnect]] (DC), [[FastTrack]], [[OpenFT]], and even [[FTP]]. There's [[Soulseek]] support, but best I can tell (the wiki is pretty out-of-date) it's download-only.
  * [[P2P-GUI]] [[http://p2p-gui.sourceforge.net/|Homepage]] [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/p2p-gui/|Repo]]\\ 'Remote web interface for [[MLdonkey]], [[aMule]], [[rTorrent]], [[Transmission]] and [[giFT]]'. Doesn't support Soulseek, until MLDonkey does, I guess.
  * [[Shareaza]] [[http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/|Homepage]]\\ [[eDonkey]], [[Gnutella]], [[BitTorrent]]. [[microoft_windows|Windows]] only.

I'd like support for:

  * [[Soulseek]] (the main one I use)
  * [[eDonkey]]
  * [[Gnutella]]
  * And I guess [[BitTorrent]] would be handy, too.


===== Document Browser =====
I would really like web browsers to function better as general document browsers, so people could share stuff in formats beyond HTML, TXT, PDF.

Other formats I'm into:

  * [[dat]] - P2P protocol.
  * [[gopher]] - Long-surviving, light, text-based document protocol.
  * [[gemini]] - Secure, light, document protocol.
  * [[LaTeX]] - Document markup syntax. Page-focused.
  * [[markdown]] - Document markup syntax. Not so much into it, it's just super popular.

I'd also love [[javascript]] to not be supported, so you run a dedicated //Application Browser// to use that kinda stuff.

Just found this via the [[gemini]] [[https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/listinfo/gemini|mailing list]] archives: [[github>MasterQ32/kristall]]. Kristall supports:

  * Finger
  * Gemini
  * Gopher
  * HTTP / HTTPS
  * And a bunch of different file kinds, both text and other media.
===== E-Mail and Calendar =====
The trend seems to be towards amalgamation of E-mail, calendar, address book, and tasks applications, but I would much prefer to have;

  * One client for E-mail and contacts, with [[tool:software:carddav]] support.
  * One client for calendars and tasks, with [[tool:software:caldav]] support.

I assume the combination makes sense in an office environment, but for me, a person who doesn't really have E-mail integrated into their work, they are very separate, with no benefit to having them together.

==== E-Mail and Address Book ====

I've really struggling to find an E-mail client that features---

  * [[html]] message support (so that rules out CLI clients).
  * [[carddav]] (to sync my contacts with my phone and other computers).

---but doesn't include tasks, calendars, etc.

I just want to looks at my E-mail a few times a week, and have my tasks and calendar always open. I've used [[Thunderbird]] a lot, and this year switch to [[Evolution]] as a work-round for some carddav troubles with TB, but I really don't like [[Gnome]] stuff. Oh great, and now it won't render E-mails at all :/

**Update:** Went back to [[Thunderbird]] after finding a solution to my address book problems, and noticed that the [[thunderbird#Lightning]] calendar side of things is still an add-on, and can be disabled and even removed. So Thunderbird suits me very well now!

==== Calendar and Tasks ====

Investigating the calendar side of things now. Initially it seemed really promising, but for people allergic to [[Gnome]] and [[KDE]] it's actually a bit bleak. There are a bunch of different solutions out there, but finding one with CalDAV support has been tough.

There are also lots of tools for managing tasks that are combined with note-taking, but not calendars, which doesn't suit me at all!

Most promising seems to be [[Task Warrior]]. It's really feature-rich, {{tagpage>CLI}} based, and works with it's own format. But there's [[gitlab>BlackEdder/caldavwarrior]] which might solve things? Will probably just Thunderbird-it for now and try things out another time. Wasted enough time on this for now!

===== PDF Organiser =====

Easily view and organise documents.
