They will certainly have a harder time judging people by their skin color.

However many racist people aren't actually confronted with "foreigners" a lot. So I guess blind people can perfectly be racist about someone's accent or form racist opinions just by the discourse around them and the news they consume.

Babies aren't born racist, it's something you learn. So my guess is blind people are pretty close to the average, maybe a little less.

    re: applying for jobs

    Not criticizing your use to write your CV specifically.

    But in general, I wonder where this arms race is going? Companies using AI to pre-filter applications, because they get too many. Applicants then using AI to write their CVs, because they have to apply so many times, because they automatically get rejected.

    Basically in the end the entire process will be automated, and there won't be any human interaction anymore... just LLMs generating and choosing CVs. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but that's the direction we're headed in imo.

    You even overwrite previously existing front-matters. From just looking at a note. This is a fucking no-go! Luckily I was able to revert all the unwanted changes HelixNotes applied to my vault.

    This is a warning for everyone who wants to try HelixNotes with an existing vault.

    If you want to try HelixNotes, be aware it overwrites the front-matter of notes you open (view only, no edit needed).


    Hi ArkHost,

    Obsidian user here. I tried HelixNotes for a couple of minutes and here's my feedback:

    • I like that you support compatibility/converting Obsidian vaults. I wish you would at least support Obsidian's wiki links directly. I won't convert all my notes just to try if I like your editor.
    • View mode doesn't seem to really do anything. Ah wait, seems like I can only click links in view mode (no visual distinction between normal editor and view-mode apart from the tiny view mode badge). But that opens the linked note in my default .md viewer, not the HelixEditor itself. IMO view-mode should be visually distinct and also work together with source-mode (so I can edit in source mode and then click view-mode to see the rendered note).
    • I like the simple look, although the UI is not as polished compared to Obsidian.
    • I need Math support ($ ... $).
    • I hate that you update notes front-matter even if I just view and not edit them. Only change notes I am editing myself. I just had a look and now you changed the format of my notes. Re front-matter it would also be good if that behavior is documented somewhere.
    • I closed my vault (clicked on the folder icon in the top right) and wanted to reopen it, but got an error: Failed to acquire LockFile: LockBusy.
    • The graph view opened but stayed empty.

    Feel free to use my feedback however you want, or don't. Personally, there's more than one deal-breaker for me to switch from Obsidian to HelixNotes, without even considering the nice-to-have features added by all the plug-ins. I recommend you to listen to people who are more likely to use your editor than me, or are already using it. I hope my comment doesn't come over too negatively. I tried to give honest feedback why personally I won't use HelixNotes anytime soon. I wish you all the best.

    Lol, if Seoul is no. 5 in Asia, it means there are no cyclist-friendly cities in Asia. Maybe Christchurch is better, but even Taipei didn't strike me as cyclist-friendly at all compared to most European cities I know.
