    Yes, there have been bows that are long, but not like the longbow. As you say, the longbow was used to shoot volleys, while the yumi could also be used on horseback. The longbow had a very heavy draw weight, around 90-120 lbs. That’s the weight you have to pull to get it at full draw. The yumi possibly had a a lower draw weight (although Korean and Mongolian and Turkish composite bows had draw weights of around 100 lbs as well, and they were mainly used on horseback). Again, the yumi has a shorter lower limb which meant it could be used on horseback (and it was) while there is no way a longbow could have. So the longbow and the yumi are very different technically.














  • Tauon Music Box available on Flathub. You look for albums by typing on your keyboard. Once you see the result which says “Artist”, hit enter. It creates a playlist which shows all the albums of that playlist. The next time you want to listen to that artist, start typing and select “[Artist name] playlist”. This concept differs from a traditional concept of playlists, because it doesn’t actually create playlists you can use or export. I just like the UI, although the play controls are bit weird, they don’t quite work the way you’d expect them to. It’s a new project but worth keeping an eye on.

    FocusWriter for a minimalist, focused writing experience. You can edit the existing template for a dark theme and white text. I rather like the typewriter font, Liberation Mono (it was Courier something back on Windows). Give it a try. I’ve been using it for around 3-4 years.
