I've enjoyed all the recent HN posts about notetaking software! (Roam, org-roam, Obsidian, Zettlr, Code Notes...)

It seems the main point of Code Notes is to serve a static site, but I'd love to see the author turn it into an editor by hooking up a ProseMirror [2] instance :)

Out of curiosity, what solutions do others use for tags/categorization/full-text search of their notes? Code Notes seems to use FlexSearch.js [1].

Looks cool! I have been using Docusaurus[0] for this same exact use case for a while and although the primary use case is for documentation, the experience of writing notes is great too. You can write your notes in either MDX or Markdown. Search can be added using Algolia DocSearch[1] and deployment to GitHub Pages or Netlify or similar static site hosting platforms is a breeze. The only thing it's lacking is tags which I'm sure can be added with a little bit of work.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I used fuse.js [1] for a side project recently. It seemed to work well for me and it was fairly easy to set up.

Two things I look for in a note-taking app:

- How quickly can I create/update/delete

- How easily can I search and read

I love how you have solved the second part. I have to ask, how do you handle the first part?

Do you keep one editor always open to quickly edit the markdown files?

I have something sort of like this and I just have a project folder on my desktop full of markdown. I add a new file, commit, and push. I like it fine when I’m in “work mode” at my laptop, but it’s a hassle when I want to add a note from my phone.
