I use Bear, which is a note app for iOS/macOS. It uses Markdown, it has all the features I need, and it is fast with sync. Because it has a really clean, minimalistic UI, I don't get distracted. This is my main tool know, but as most of the people who are even thinking about this, I'm not fully satisified. Separation of personal/work stuff is questionable, sometimes I feel I need better visualization (like mindmaps), and I regularly use it for todos too which is not the best if you also use a standalone todos app (TickTick).

Thank you for your answer. I got fired from my two last development jobs too.

I didn't like the first place, I haven't got too much help to even onboard, not talking about learning the codebase or the framework. (One thing I will never ever do again is trying to learn a completely different framework at a new job...)

At the second place however I felt I was pretty good. They mentioned areas to improve (productivity, meetings), but most of the feedbacks were good. Then they fired me. They "expected more improvement".

What is the mistake I shouldn't make again? Am I a bad developer, having problems or just unlucky?

In terms of skill level, you're absolutely fine, so don't worry too much about whether you should be better at certain things than others.

They fired me after 2.5 months working on the project, that's why I started to "worry" about my skills. They hired me as the only junior developer and as I think about it more and more, I'm starting to be sure not me wasn't enough, but a junior developer wasn't enough there in general.

IMO that is only a problem if you can’t pay attention in meetings where the points being discussed are very relevant to what you’re expected to contribute.

Or if the scrum master noticed it, and started shaming you in front of everybody to repeat what the other guy just said.

Thank you! Yes, actually it is the 3rd iteration on the implementation of the idea.

Handpicked movies are subtitle pairs which were selected carefully to be in sync (both of them are webrip/webdl/nf). The sync itself is done by simple intersection, and the user can delay the subtitles to each other by an offset value (available clicking on the cog icon). It can help fixing the differences like the first subtitle file includes the intro/theme song, but the second doesn't. If the cut is totally different, it just won't work. It can be avoided by following the hints for choosing the subtitles which are available on the search page.

Also there is an interesting idea which I will consider in the future: it is possible to search on OpenSubtitles.org by fingerprint. Those who are watching something download from torrent, could search basically by the movie file itself, and they will get a list of subtitles which will match perfectly.

No, the app is not for that. Please read my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17627899

Thank you for your honest opinion about the UI. I'm experimenting with it, I will try out what you advised.

Find more movies in... buttons just continue to the search page, and it has this one-time native language selector page before that. From the landing page you can only see the handpicked subtitles, but you can also search for any movie in the app itself (on the search page).
