Well, here's a thing I didn't know about before that might be useful to you – a tool to extract the dated from the *.crd files.

Your point about the possibility of unevenly sized text and line breaks mucking up the whole layout makes sense. I wasn't thinking about that. I think a better-than-nothing solution would include the stripping out of markdown formatting that alters the rendering in, image references (I'm new here, are images even allowed in post body content?), and converting the markdown URLs as you mentioned.

Another thing that could influence what people put in there would be some example text in maybe some helpful guidelines alongside the post form.

Looks like at least I've got a few more reasons to finally sit down and pick up a little Rust.

Works well on my OS9 VM!

Haha, SimTower for classic MacOS. I've always wanted to put together a clone of it.

Absolutely, yes. It's hard for me to see federating with corporations such as ~~Facebook~~ Meta much differently than doing so with an instance run by spammers.

My dad insisted on using CARDFILE.EXE from Windows 3.1 up until he switched to a MacBook in 2010 or so. I still have the data file somewhere.

Gotta admit tho, it was one of the most useful applications that came with a PC back in the late 80s/early 90s. My folks put everything into that thing. They probably had about 350 cards!

Cool! I use termux every day and I'm excited. I'll get in touch with the termux devs and see if we can maaaybe get a link on their Github page, and do word-spreading.

It's weird how the markdown formatting bits (such as ### in a heading) appear in previews of posts. I don't have time to research it right now, but I'm guessing that's a known issue waiting to be fixed by someone.

Edit: Trying to add a screenshot to show what I'm talking about, but uploading images doesn't seem to be working. I tried 2 clients and the mobile web.

Posted. Let me know if anything looks weird or a link doesn't work. I'm pretty nitpicky about things reading correctly, so there will likely be edits. Thanks.

Whoops, I'm not sure if you meant that for me or the OP, UrNightmaree. Either way, I'm a huge Termux fan and am happy to help make it a cool and welcoming place.

That would be awesome, thanks. I just finished writing out a welcome post for the community, which I will submit momentarily.

Perhaps a bit more technically involved for some tastes, but here's my setup –

I've used pass for the past few years, a command line based password manager that stores GPG encrypted passwords as text files in a git repository. I use it for more than passwords, so it's more like a passwords-and-other-sensitive-secrets manager.

There's no defined structure, that is left to the user to figure out, but the basic command to get a password and copy it to the clipboard simply grabs the first line of the file, which is where I insert the actual password. There's other info in there too, usernames, challenge questions, etc.

I push the git repo to gitlab, transported via ssh. On my phone, I use a client for Android called Android Password Store, which pulls from the git repository and has an easy interface for adding, editing, and accessing the passwords.

It costs nothing, stays backed up, and works pretty well for my purposes. Despite that, I was looking around to see if KeePass would be a better solution for me in any way, and found this cool thing, passhole, which provides KeePass with a CLI interface similar to that of pass, which is a big part of my attraction to it.
