Well, back then when the Pixel 7a had just come out. So comparable to an iPhone 11 now

Or even Google itself. I got a 150€ trade in rebate for an iPhone 8 with a cracked screen.

But if I called you in the middle of the night to offer you something that will make every 9th sneeze on every second tuesday of March in a leap year less irritating your first reaction wouldn't be to thank me.

A minor inconvenience compared to the thousands of charger cables and wall boxes that would charge driving the cars for a very small moment.

Sure. But getting something free for something you'd have done anyway? There's many ways to nudge people/yourself into specific behaviors even though the rewards are not worth it when thinking it through

The comparison to pandoc seems needlessly hostile. Most users get pandoc as a standalone binary (e.g. the Debian package).

Pandoc is a bit on the larger size, but for what it offers (templating, lua filters, built-in templates for all supported markup languages) it is entirely reasonable.

AFAIK it is always backed by a sqlite DB. That way the sync just populates the DB and the completion process doesn't care (or wait for) the central source.
