A plugin to let you insert text mid-sentence, and have it be turned into a link leading to the text instead placed at the bottom of the page.

Easy to use and really nice!

Abandoned
- The author commented that he is not a programmer and that he needs assistance for his ideas. I know exactly how he feels.
- As of 2021-02-26 this situation has not changed.
- 2024-07-17 – Abandoned – The WordPress plugin page states this plugin is closed by the author’s request; RIP.
2.1.3 had a serious vulnerability so I was forced to update; I’ll look for a replacement and maintained footnotes plugin.

While looking at the map, a ruler is drawn out the front of your position-arrow. Helpful for seeing the arrow more easily.

A text editor / notes management thing.

Chocolatey: gimp
https://www.gimp.org/

An incredibly capable (and therefore very convoluted) image editor.

I use this:

For converting .svg files to .jpg or .png
(On Windows For editing .png files which have transparency, since mspaint.exe can’t do that.
For importing a page from a PDF, as an image.
For transparent backgrounds
For transparent masking
