I'm looking for an alternative to duolingo, the main appeal for me of duolingo is the gamification of the app as this helps me to stay consistent (so just normal flashcards would not be suitable).

Thanks in advance

I tried it and it’s pretty good. I don’t know about storage limits or anything like that, but it gets the job done.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but how is signal any less centralised?

How much storage

Appflowy would have been perfect, but you can’t edit databases in the web app

Also cannot be workflowy unfortunately, as you cannot edit databased on the web app

I think I have landed on coda, albeit I don't think its very private

Mullvad leta vs 4get (lemm.ee)

This is pretty much a. Follow up to my post yesterday and was wondering which search engine to use, I’m leaning stlightly towards mullvad as it is a more reputable and they get their results exclusively from braves index but 4get is open source and has an official instance.

Qwant or DDG or startpage (lemm.ee)

I’m stuck with what to choose. I prioritise speed and privacy

I guess i'm doing pros and cons for all of them now:

Startpage Pros - uses google's search results and anonymous view, eu based Cons - Bought my an ad company

Qwant Pros - eu based Cons - lots of ads, sometimes a bug where it is in france

DDG pros - faster than the other two, Cons - https://techrights.org/o/2020/07/02/ddg-privacy-abuser-in-disguise/
