Benchmarking is a mess everywhere . Sure you can get some level of accuracy but reproducing any kind of benchmark results across machines is impossible. That's why perf people focu…

React is not slow. React is not "big". React is not the reason your website is slow. Any engineer who thinks that its React that is causing the slow renders and replacing it with X…

You might want to give Notesnook [0] a try. [0]: https://notesnook.com/

You'd already be using source maps in any real-world scenario so I am not sure what's the value proposition here outside of "just for fun, I guess". The tsc transpilation to lower …

Hello everyone! After around 2 years, we are back on HN with a massive update for Notesnook. But before that, here's a short introduction: Notesnook is an end-to-end encrypted, 100…

We are very close to fully supporting self hosted Notesnook. After v3 that'll be our primary focus. That and an audit.

Oh wow. Just heard the Notesnook is on the front page of HN. I am the co-founder so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Oh and to clear a few confusions: 1. Notesnook is 1…

Ah war stories. Just a few weeks back a user came to us after failing to migrate GBs of their data off of Evernote. This, of course, included attachments. They had successfully imp…

I don't think even you understand what you just said. Consumer devices are notorious for their reliability problems. Compared to a full blown server that you have 100% control over…

I think you misunderstand. My intention was not to say local-first is bad or impossible; it's not. We have been local-first at Notesnook since the beginning and it has been going a…
