I want to merge org-mode with workflowy in a gnu free locally hosted instance. That is my dream.
For now I settle with org-mode in terminal because I avoid the cloud.

#12Following I like to see ( If possible ):
Many app are stop, if issue with net connection or send a big notification about my internet connection issue. Why I have to see it? Can app not manage sync & net issue with local storage or something. I mean I am just taking a note and for taking a note, a real time internet connection is not needed., Right? it's not email app where connection is more important.

#13I use OneNote. The features that make it indispensable for me are as follows: * Excellent synchronization across devices * Support for handwriting * Web viewer
I'd like to use git in order to ensure a good reconciliation between edits made on multiple devices. Handwriting is not really the goal for my application, since it's a markdown editor. As far as the web viewer is concerned would you like most a web editor or a static site generator (with hosting included). The web editor is more useful for personal use, but the static site allows everyone to access (I'm thinking abo…

#15I'd love to see a timeline feature where I can play back a session of note taking from a day or plot it out into a nice JS timelined graph automatically based on journal entries.

#161) Merge resolution is a big one. I often muse that a note-taking app with a Git backend and three-way merge facility would be kind of awesome.
2) Combine that with offline note taking that auto-syncs when you have a network connection again (even if the note-taking app is backgrounded on your phone), and you'd have a winner. Give me that and I wouldn't even care about support for any formats other than plain text.
3) The ability to organize notes into folders and subfolders with no limit to levels of nesting.
OK, yeah, I really just want an auto-syncing Git client on my phone.

That's why I started the project in the first place, glad to hear that I'm not the only one wanting this! ;)

What platforms are you planning to support, or will this be web-only?

I am building the app with electron, so all desktop platforms will be supported right away, I am considering mobile apps porting most of my React code to React Native and web replacing the filesystem interactions with a cloud server
