#2Would be nice, if there is a mobile friendly version.

#3This feels excessively complicated to me. what's a track? what's a channel? why do I need filenames for everything? why does it take 3 minutes for a new user to write a single line of 'note' ?
a beautiful notes app (to me) would be one where you start with writing a note

#5Interesting tool, I like that it works with GitHub and the repo support will be cool to see.
The design is neat (I generally like dark themes) although the fading animations got a bit annoying after a few minutes using it. Some of the dialogs could do with supporting common shortcuts (e.g. enter to create a new track, escape to close the dialogs). Sometimes I managed to click outside of the presentation view without realising, and then left/right arrow keys stopped working. Sometimes I wasn't sure where to find certain functions (e.g. I looked for "Edit" on a presentation item on the context menu, but then realised I had to click it and then click the pencil icon). I couldn't get the Share functionality to work, and wasn't sure why it was in its own context menu with no other items.
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the tracks/channels distinction. I can understand creating a project to store presentations (items) in, but why is there another level in Kobble?

#6> Kobble is the only app available where you own all of your data.
What? I find that highly unlikely. In what way do I not "own" the texts I write in–for example–Apple's Notes.app?
And what is even meant by "own"? Even for something like Facebook, I'm pretty sure that I still own the copyright for texts I write in their app.

#7How do I use this? Is there a bookmarklet?

Normally I'd expect something like "it is stored under your control" for the slogan "own your data", but that doesn't square with "saves directly to GitHub"

#9What does this have over Standard Notes? https://standardnotes.org/
thanks for sharing this, I've been looking for something like this for awhile. I've just been using wrangler and having a bunch of docs open in the side window. I also tried using scribbleton, but hate how big everything is. This is great.

As you mention, a track is like a project. It's a tree of items, and the items can be markdown, presentations, links, etc.
Channels are for organizing tracks. Everything in Kobble can be shared. So say you make a track for some project and want to share it. Another user can add your track to a channel to follow it.
It's similar to sharing in YouTube or Spotify, except that instead of grouping videos or songs in channels, you're grouping tracks.
