▲ 221 ▼ Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular? (lemmy.ml) submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by cyclohexane@lemmy.ml to c/programming@programming.dev 267 comments fedilink hide all child comments There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication. The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc. I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

I'm using Tasks.org on my phone (which supports dependent tasks), synchronizing to a Nextcloud server with the Tasks app (which supports dependent tasks now, but didn't for a long time), which also syncs to Thunderbird (which does not appear to show dependent tasks as dependents). Edit: remembered that the Nextcloud Tasks app has long supported dependent tasks. I was thinking of recurring tasks, which it does not support. Again, open standards aren't always fully implemented. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] matcha_addict@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago Well that's still good news that I didn't expect! I suppose I will look into that then. Thank you! permalink fedilink source parent
