So friendly that they constantly hit on you and try to get you to mate with them.

Very useful. Thanks for sharing
We go to Salzburg several times a year but don't have any more personal recommendations. When we travel we usually go by Google Maps reviews. Overall rating + reading some recent comments usually leads to decent results.
For Austria in general I have one additional "hack" maybe. There are two national restaurant guides that many people trust.
Sadly the web versions seem to be German only. But Falstaff seems to have an app - "Falstaff Guide" app (available on Android + iOS). Just installed it and content was in English there at least. Pretty sure you can find decent recommendations there.
In Vienna there is the Schweizerhaus https://www.schweizerhaus.at/en/ right in the middle of Prater Amusement park. Maybe a bit touristy and expensive, but still delicious if you are into meat.
We once had a magical experience in the Piaristenkeller https://piaristenkeller.com/en/index.php?i=7 It was the kitchen of the monastery next door but is now a restaurant including a historical hat museum and wine cellar. We had a full tour and wine tasting. The host was great.
The Piaristenkeller has "K.u.K." in it's name. If you see that it means "Kaiserlich und Königlich" (= imperial and royal) and only services that catered directly to the emperor were allowed to use this designation. Typically they are still of high quality (maybe a bit more pricey than regular restaurants), but you can expect them to deliver traditional food unchanged since emperors time. You'll find many bakeries and restaurants, especially in larger cities like Vienna or Salzburg, but also in other places all over Austria.
In Vienna you can also look for "Heuriger" as I said. They are not that common so you'll have to really research them. You'll get locally produced meats, cheeses, bread, wine. They are run by the family and are only allowed to open certain times of the year. Make sure to check out their calendar if you find one.
Completely different style... this one seems to receive high praises, but it's not really my scene: https://www.steirereck.at/ They in itself have three different venues with different flairs I think.
"Naschmarkt" is the market in Vienna. They have a ton of food stalls. Might be fun to visit, but it can really be hit & miss with food quality. There is a very small Sushi bar close by though. I think Kojiro... does not look like much and just a nook in the wall really, but very authentic Japanese Sushi.
Figlmüller https://www.figlmueller.at/en/ for traditional Schnitzel. But pretty sure there are many other options that might be cheaper. They are close by St. Stephans Cathedral in the city center. They have big ads all over the Vienna airport - which personally makes me think it might just be a lot of marketing which you have to pay as customer. But I guess they are quite old and should be solid.
Somewhat in the proximity of "Naschmarkt" there is also Vollpension https://www.vollpension.wien/ - My wife loved the athmosphere in that Cafe. It's completely run by grandmas and grandpas. They cook their traditional recipes. TBH the bread I had was quite stale and not really a "foodie" place for me. But the atmosphere and decoration is phantastic.
You'll find many good Cafe and Bakery options in Vienna. If you use one of the guides and do some Google Maps research I'm sure you'll find everything that you wish for.
Edit: Some more honorable mentions:
- At Karlsplatz, right next to Karlskirche there is a Museum that has a restaurant next door: Trude & Töchter https://www.trudeund.at/ - very good and traditional options usually
- We are big Hundertwasser fans. If you are into this style of art you must visit https://www.kunsthauswien.com/ Awesome building (built by himself), great art and they have a fun Cafe inside too.
- Right next to / behind the "Albertina" museum (great exhibitions if you are into paintings) you'll find the "Brasserie Palmenhaus Wien" https://www.palmenhaus.at/ We love the atmosphere and food was always nice. Right next to it there is also the butterfly house - if you are into plants and butterflies :)
- Oh... we love the Cafe in the Art History Museum (right opposite the Nature History Museum). Really awesome building & location. Just spectacular hallways and you are sitting right below the nicely decorated dome.
- If you are into sweets & deserts you should try Kaiserschmarrn with Zwetschkenröster (= like scrambled pancake with mushed plums), Marillenknödel (breaded sweet dumplings filled with whole apricot), Apfelstrudel. There is an ice cream shop / cafe called "Tichy" off the beaten track - a Viennese institution. Their specialty is the re-imagination of Marillenknödel but with ice ("Eismarillenknödel") https://www.tichy-eissalon.at/ Best if they begin to melt and are not fully hard frozen anymore.
Disclaimer: I'm no foody at all. Just wrote down stuff that we like to do and that I remembered. You'll definitely find more "hip" and fancy stuff using online guides.
No worries. I checked the rail network and there definitely is a route: https://infrastruktur.oebb.at/de/geschaeftspartner/schienennetz/dokumente-und-daten/netzkarten/dokument?datei=Karte+VzG+Streckenklassen+%28SNNB+2025%29
It's just not the main express route and more local. IMO it's mostly nature / sports / wellness along the route.
This page has a graphic that shows the main rail routes: https://www.mappingeurope.com/austria/austria-rail-map.html
If you have a night to spare Bad Ischl is out of your way, but awesome to take in some of the flair during emperors times. It's very close to Hallstatt (overly touristic but if you've never been there worth visiting, also has great surrounding mountains and cable cars up there with great views). The Salzkammergut region where Bad Ischl is located is our favorite weekend destination. Many great lakes, mountains, small villages. Just had to get it out there, but - to be fair - it's much easier to go by car than by train & bus.
I think Austria has a great public transport system and you can reach any village by train and bus, but if you want to optimize your experiences and not waste much time sticking to the main cities might be better:
- Innsbruck
- Salzburg
- Linz
- Vienna
Pretty sure you're already aware of the main attractions in Salzburg. But one restaurant recommendation. Although a bit pricey https://www.zumzirkelwirt.at/en has great authentic food and the athmosphere is phantastic. The venue has a really rustic feel to it.
Agree with @PoisonedPrisonPanda@discuss.tchncs.de that you don't need to stay a night in Linz. Totally feasible to go there in the morning and leave for Vienna in the evening.
Linz does have it's historic places and sights. If it's your first time in Austria it's just that Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna have so much more to offer that Linz just doesn't cut it for most visitors. You can look up some Linz attractions and see for yourself if it would be worth it for you. Some pointers:
- Linz Dom
- Linz Landstraße, Promenade, Hauptplatz (Landstraße connects those places - they are the main central shopping promenade) - there are a few parks and the new theater along the way
- Linz Pöstlingberg is the local hill with nice views over the city - reachable directly by tram right from the Hauptplatz (main square)
- Linz Ars Electronica Center (museum that focuses on high tech / multimedia themed exhibitions)
- Mural Harbor Linz is (was?) mostly Grafitti art and Murals in the Linz harbor - not sure if most of them are still accessible or not https://www.linztourismus.at/freizeit/linz-entdecken/museen-und-ausstellungen/mural-harbor
Best time to visit would be mid July - the "Pflasterspektakel" is an annual international street performer festival that is fun to visit. With street performers all over the city (mostly along the Landstraße) https://pflasterspektakel.at/en/
Maybe you can also look into "Wachau". Its a region along the Danube river and a bit off your route between Salzburg/Linz and Vienna. Famous for it's wineries and fruit farms (i.e. grapes & apricots). Great local food from local farmers and producers (you can google "Heuriger" - you'll also find great Heurige in Vienna). Wachau has some nice ruins to visit. But not sure if it's really convenient just by train. For some sights you would definitely need to go by bus.
Did you draw the route by yourself or did you check with ÖBB? Asking because like another user mentioned the main connection between Innsbruck and Vienna runs through Salzburg. Your route might still be doable with local / regional trains, definitely if you include buses.
What are your main interests? Historic places, urban environments, nature, sports, spa experiences, something else? What's your budget? Free experiences only, some fees OK, money does not matter?
Hi,
love your launcher @ock88@lemmy.world
Was a long-time Nova launcher user and made me switch with ease. Even though it does not implement all Nova convenience features it's already so good at this stage that it made the switch worth it. Most stand-out feature for me are stacked widgets that help preserve so much screen space. Using it on two GrapheneOS devices right now. Already sent some support your way.
A few suggestions / observations:
- It's understandable if you decide to not open-source it, but would be great to have a central issue tracker for bug reporting / feature requests. Would make your support work easier I guess? Could also involve the community to sort and clean up reports.
- One main observation (bug?) that is affecting my experience regularly: Other launchers allow you to open a folder and re-arrange apps by simply dragging and dropping right then and there. Not sure why the launcher insists on going through the dedicated "Arrange items" option to sort apps within a folder.
Feature wishlist:
- Would be great if the launcher would read the show / hide private space flag and show / hide private space accordingly in the app drawer.
- Add newly installed apps to the home screen automatically.
- Might be a very obscure niche thing that does not affect many users: I'm using the PixBit icon set and Nova somehow renders icons that are not available within the icon set with a pixellated custom outline which results in a very cohesive icon experience... even when icons are not available natively. Not sure how they do that, but that's really impressive.
- Per-folder setting of "swipe up/down" or "open folder" behavior instead of one global setting
Happy if maybe something gets picked up in the future, but already committed to the launcher as-is anyway. Thank you for your work in any case!

Just checked the status page and there was indeed some downtime within the last 24 hours: https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg
Had a similar idea with https://gohug.eu/
Main collection of resources starts here: https://gohug.eu/join/ - even added your guide a few days ago: https://gohug.eu/join/alternatives/
Domain name is a challenge I know well. At some point I just went with short to just get going.
Happy to contribute / join our efforts to build something great.
I agree. Did try a few searches before I added them and did not see any glaring errors. But checking more of their listings it seems they might have just scraped wrong data. Can confirm your findings and removed them.
Oh, good eye. Typo is fixed.
