I think the overarching system community has created a reliance or seems to have a mindset of only recommending plural marketed things (i.e Sp, octo), and while i understand that there will be reliance on accessibility tools, i feel the system community (especially on discord and tiktok) has dug itself into a hole of something like (apologies, im blanking on the actual term) a learned helplessness.
No everyone can use plural marketed things, parental controls for example, i think the community kind if forgets that
i think overall with the shut downs its made me realize that sthe best way for these system apps to happen in a f2u way would be smaller apps, i feel the community focuses on having "the big system app", but as stated it was supposed to be for friends and family, it wasnt meant to grow to the size it did. I think having that possibility pushes alot of people away from making their own , the fact that there already is "the big one".
My recommendations for ways to track your system
Notes apps, Id recommend one thats not your phones default and with an account system, most allow image inserts. You can separate alter pages with different notes "How do i track front"
Simply add a new line for the front changes
alternative way to
I would recommend making a new front log every month, it makes it alot easier than scrolling, especially if youre a switchy system
Or another way would be with some kind of scheduling app!
"what about organizing " most note apps have some way to seperate and organize the notes
app recommendations i have used Google keep, notion, ive heard good things about evernote and simplenote. Im not good with scheduling apps for those.
Anyway if anyone else has non-system marketed or DIY tracking suggestions please reblog!
