#102People seem interested in this. But I still wonder what is the advantage over Obsidian.
In Obsidian , you can even sync to github or dropbox with community plugins . so price wise it is free Also Obsidian has much better search (using community plugin) which is lacking in noteshub
+1 on the third party search. Quick Switcher plugin lets you bring up a hotkeyed modal to search across all note titles/headings/subheadings/tags all in a single fast search interface.

#103It seems the creator has been a senior SWE at Microsoft for 7 years now. It genuinely astounds me that as a solo dev he can make such a featureful app yet Microsoft the company has been failing hard in this realm for the last decade. Also it makes you wonder how many UI-design teams, product owners, and middle managers are entirely obsolete next to a single competent SWE with a bit of talent for UI/UX.

It's a very generic webstack-app, build on 3rd-party-components. It's quite easy doing something on this level these days for an experienced developer.

Did they? They are a company, so they have a different aim than a solo dev doing some hobby-project, or whatever this is. But quality-wise, their other apps build on webstack are not worse than this. It's more that they are old, with old apps, and they seem to have some internal struggles finding their way. Which is probably why they went back and forth with OneNote, and why it sucks so hard at certain parts.

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
The FAQ has the following instructions for more fine-grained access control: > To accomplish this scenario select generic Git notebook provider (instead of GitHub) and for the password field put fine-grained personal access token which can be generated to have access only to certain repositories.
I tried this and doesn't seem to work; though unclear what permissions I should be granting it, so possibly that is the issue.
You need only "Contents" Read and write permissions. Make sure when you generate fine-grained personal access tokens on the following page: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new you select your desired repo (because it defaults to public repos and that will not work).

#105Oh I like the web version! I just hooked up the web app to my _public_ blog repo, and started editing the markdown files. Hit save and it automatically performs a git commit on my behalf. Perfect. Next time I'm working on the files locally, all I need is a git pull and I am good to go. I like it. Although I didnt quite like that it asked for a permission to pretty much _everything_ in Githuhb - public and private rep…
Unfortunately, GitHub does not provide that granularity for developers. That is way you have an alternative option as general Git provider where you can use fine-grained access token.

#107This might be an unpopular take, but I'm tired of all these Markdown text editors. It almost feels like a cop-out at this point. Ever since text editors started supporting Markdown, we've gotten away from all of these great rich-text editors. Apple Notes is an example of a notetaking application "done right", albeit with fewer features. It's enjoyable to use and offers good UI for attaching files. It certainly is not…
Bear with "hide Markdown" checked pretty much gets you there, if only on Apple devices. Markdown vs. Rich Text to me is less about the editing experience and more about do you want your files aligned to a file system or not. The options are either: - rich text editor with files that only make sense to a single application. - rich text editor with no files but (hopefully) some way to export them to (hopefully) compati…
Does Bear let me set where I want the files stored?

#108I dont think this app supports LFS. Is that something thats in the works?

Dropping passive voice helps most writing, but > "content will be synced" -> "content is synced" FYI that's still passive voice.
To quickly determine passive vs. active voice, you can add the phrase, “by zombies” to the end of the sentence. If it’s clear the zombies are doing the action (subject), then the content is passive voice. Otherwise, if the zombies are an adverbial phrase, the sentence is in active voice. Passive voice: “Content is synced by zombies” Active voice: “NotesHub syncs the content by zombies”
Amazing. Active vs passive confuses so many folks.
Great three part series on that topic and others:

#110This app is great and seems for me like a better OneNote. One thing I hope get developed a bit more is the drawing feature, having more pen types, being able to zoom in and have the stroke width scale accordingly, as well as a few more stroke types. Really well done!
