Simple Notepad - APK
Simple Notepad is a notepad app that gives you a quick and easy note taking experience.
It's not only simple and easy to use but also comes with many features: checklist, widget, reminder, password protection, search, picture attachment, share, and more.
In this regard, Mastodon has only got one major advantage: It has an official app.Phone users used to see Twitter as a phone app that they loaded from their app store. Mastodon is the only *blogging thing in the Fediverse that they can load from their app store.
This is one reason why just about all Mastodon newbies use the official app and why they're on mastodon.social (it's the default in the official app, and since they don't know what this setting does, they leave it on default).
Mastodon even gets away with an official app that's far from good, much less fully features. All the newbies don't have anything to compare with. If Mastodon is a phone app to them, then the official app's feature set is Mastodon's feature set. If a feature isn't implemented in the official app, then Mastodon doesn't have it. I dare say that well over 80% of all Mastodon users have never in their lives used Mastodon's Web UI.
If someone takes the step and moves from the official Mastodon app to Ivory or Mona or IceCubes or Tusky or Fedilab or something like this, it's almost always the first time in their lives that they use an online service through an app that has a different name than the online service. Many people couldn't even imagine doing that.
This means that if Friendica and Hubzilla want to be more successful, growing beyond Mike's old "if you build it, they'll come" credo and advertising more isn't sufficient. People must be able to load Friendica/Hubzilla onto their phones from their app store. This requires an official app named "Friendica"/"Hubzilla" with a native, up-to-date iOS UI in the Apple App Store and one with a native, up-to-date Android UI in the Google Play Store. The existence of an official phone app in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store is essential for being considered existent in the first place.
A commonplace attitude on Friendica and even more so on Hubzilla is that both can be installed as a PWA. But seriously, 99.9% of all phone users don't even know that PWAs exist. They don't know what that is. Not to mention that they expect and demand a native mobile UI in the style of their phone OS and not a generic Web UI.
Now, what would this app have to look like
If the advantages of Friendica and Hubzilla over Mastodon are to be emphasised and underlined, and if this app is to become people's one and only daily driver UI, it will have to be fully featured. Minus the settings for the Web UI (e.g. the theme settings and the PDL editor on Hubzilla), minus stuff that you'll never need if you only ever use the phone app and never the server UI (e.g. Webpages on Hubzilla), but otherwise fully featured. This would also demonstrate just how vastly more powerful Friendica and Hubzilla are than Mastodon.
The obvious downside is that such an app would be a feature monster. Bigger and more feature-laden than any Android e-mail app or OpenStreetMap editor.
There has been some talk about building an official Hubzilla phone app. Some Hubzilla users have proposed an app that only offers the very basics. However, their idea behind this is not to make the app easier for newbies to use, but to make it easier for the developers to build. They're often still stuck in the early 2010s when phone apps for websites were considered gimmicks. They think that people will only use the app when they're out and about, and when they're back home, they'll sit down behind their computers and use the Web interface. Thus, phone apps only need the most basic features implemented.
But 2026 is not 2011. The huge majority of Mastodon users only use Mastodon through a phone app. Even when they're at home. As I've said: If the app doesn't have a feature, the whole product doesn't have the feature, regardless of whether or not the feature is implemented in the server backend and even in the Web frontend.
Besides, even Friendica's basic features that you'll need all the time are a lot. Hubzilla's basic features that you'll need all the time are even more numerous.
Shall people be limited to posting in public when they're on a phone because the phone app doesn't have any permission settings
Shall people be limited to posting to their contacts when they're on a phone because someone decided that support for groups would make the phone app too complex
Shall people wait until they're home, and they've got some time to fire up a computer, open a Web browser and log onto the Web interface to accept connection requests because the phone app doesn't have any connection settings What if they don't have a computer
Let's face it, social networking itself is a complex thing. And I mean actual social networking. Not misusing glorified SMS as a social network. Real social networking. Facebook-level social networking. Google+-level social networking. MySpace-level social networking.
Thus, a social networking phone app with all features necessary for real social networking has to be complex. This isn't a Friendica/Hubzilla issue. Don't believe that the official Facebook apps are simple.
This is also why so many prefer over Facebook. Facebook is complex. Facebook isn't just register, follow, post. is much more simple. is glorified SMS. is literally just register, follow, tweet. Facebook is rocket science whereas is for dumb-dumbs.
And it's because Mastodon is so lacking that it's for dumb-dumbs by Fediverse standards. In fact, if you don't read those panicky "it's too complicated because you have to know what a server is" posts, if you just load the app and create an account, Mastodon, through the official app, is for dumb-dumbs by all standards.
However, those who actually are on Facebook are willing to put up with something more complex. They need something more complex than glorified SMS for dumb-dumbs. They need the extra features that Facebook has that doesn't, even if these are the very features that deny Facebook the "for dumb-dumbs" attribute.
Send them to Mastodon, and they'll be irritated and even repelled because this feature isn't there, and that feature isn't there, and that feature is cut down beyond recognition, and they can't find any interesting people (not because Mastodon is decentralised, and the interesting people are on other servers, but because Mastodon's directory sucks arse in comparison with Facebook's), and what's with that stupid character limit
On Friendica and Hubzilla, this feature and that feature have been there for longer than Mastodon itself, that feature is even more powerful than on Facebook proper, interesting people are being shoved into their faces once they've filled out their profile, even more so once they've got some connections, and there is no character limit worth speaking of.
But as long as Friendica and Hubzilla don't have official, fully daily-driveable phone apps named "Friendica" and "Hubzilla" respectively, they simply don't exist.
Granted, there's another obstacle. Many Mastodon users say the Fediverse needs a Facebook alternative. If you tell them about Friendica and its descendants, some will be very thankful because they've genuinely never heard of any of these.
Others will tell you that they know Friendica and maybe even Hubzilla. But they also say that none of these are Facebook alternatives. For when they say, "alternative," what they really mean is, "1:1 clone, just with a different name and decentralised and with ActivityPub and without spying and without the recent enshittification and without the evil CEO, otherwise absolutely identical."
One big aspect of this is that, as they say, the Fediverse needs an alternative to Facebook Groups. Friendica groups are exactly that because they were designed to be exactly that. Hubzilla forums, (streams) groups, Forte groups, all just that. But according to these people, they don't count because they aren't handled in precisely the same way as Facebook groups. Facebook groups aren't separate accounts. And different equals bad.
What really has me shake my head is that those who want a 1:1 Facebook clone continue to use Mastodon as a Facebook alternative. Even though Friendica and its family are vastly closer to Facebook regardless. Even though Mastodon not only doesn't have groups at all, but it doesn't even have any support for external groups. Is shouting into the void with a bunch of hashtags and hoping the right people will hear you really that much better than a Friendica group or a Hubzilla forum or maybe a PieFed community

Aguascalientes pone fin al contrato de APP para modernizar el alumbrado pblico
El Cabildo de Aguascalientes aprob concluir de manera anticipada el contrato de Asociacin Pblico-Privada para la modernizacin del alumbrado pblico, al considerar que el municipio cuenta con capacidad para operar el servicio.
Por Erika Muoz Corresponsal
El Ayuntamiento de Aguascalientes aprob en Sesin Extraordinaria de Cabildo la terminacin anticipada del contrato de Asociacin Pblico-Privada (APP) para el proyecto de modernizacin del sistema de alumbrado pblico, al determinar que el municipio dispone de la infraestructura y capacidad operativa para asumir directamente la prestacin del servicio.
La decisin implica concluir el contrato celebrado con MD Iluminacin Nacional S.A. de C.V., bajo el argumento de que las condiciones actuales permiten al gobierno municipal realizar las labores de mantenimiento y operacin del alumbrado con recursos propios.
El objetivo, seal la administracin municipal, es garantizar un servicio ms eficiente para mejorar la iluminacin y la visibilidad en avenidas, colonias y fraccionamientos, adems de optimizar el uso de los recursos pblicos.
Municipio fortalecer la operacin directa
De acuerdo con el Cabildo, al dejar de requerirse los servicios contemplados en el contrato, ser posible reorientar el gasto al fortalecimiento directo del sistema de alumbrado pblico, en apego a los principios de eficiencia, eficacia y economa establecidos en la Constitucin.
La medida tambin busca cumplir las metas previstas en el Programa 3.2.1 del Plan de Desarrollo Municipal 2024-2027, orientadas a mejorar los servicios pblicos municipales.
Inversin fortaleci la capacidad operativa
El gobierno municipal inform que entre 2024 y 2025 destin ms de 24 millones de pesos para fortalecer la Secretara de Servicios Pblicos, lo que permiti ampliar su capacidad operativa.
Como parte de esa inversin, la dependencia cuenta actualmente con 17 gras con canastilla, 13 vehculos para recorridos, adems de personal especializado y herramientas para realizar trabajos preventivos y correctivos en la red de alumbrado pblico.
Las autoridades consideraron que estas condiciones hacen innecesaria la continuidad del esquema de Asociacin Pblico-Privada, al estimar que el municipio puede atender de forma directa las necesidades del sistema de iluminacin.
Buscan mejorar el servicio para la poblacin
El Ayuntamiento indic que la operacin directa permitir responder con mayor rapidez a los reportes ciudadanos y fortalecer el mantenimiento de la infraestructura de alumbrado en distintos puntos del municipio.
La administracin municipal asegur que la estrategia tiene como finalidad ofrecer un servicio de mayor calidad para las familias de Aguascalientes, mediante una gestin ms eficiente de los recursos pblicos. sn
