Great app, congrats on launching. Usability and User focus 10/10. How secure is this app? Care to let us in on the specifics?
Thank you! What specifically? It’s not intended for very sensitive data. Much prefer the note/blog use case.

I've had a bunch of problems with KaTeX, I'd recommend mathjax instead.
What are the problems you've had? I'm about to switch to KaTeX for speed which will take quite a bit of work and this got me spooked.

#223I recently saw a website on HN where a developer had put all his working notes on that website as an experiment. It wasn't a proper blog - just inter-linked notes the way I take on a personal level. I am not able to find that website now. Can someone share it with me if you have it? The reason I am curious about that, and the tool that OP has built, is that I have now realized that most of my personal notes don't hav…
Are you referring to https://notes.andymatuschak.org/About_these_notes ?
Can someone recommend tools that can help me build something like this? So far, I've thought of Docusaurus+Gitlab+Netlify with a custom domain to build such a website but wondering if there's something better.
OP's tool looks cool. But I am fairly technical, so looking for something I can fully control and isn't tied to a monthly subscription.

It replaces my LaTex with unicode symbols that often look shitty, and are usually the wrong size. Also, it sometimes never rendered my equations. Don't let this totally dissuade you, I never really looked into it (switching to mathjax was easier) but I just remember that "out-of-the-box", a lot of things were broken.

#225Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…

#227One thing I've noticed is that when I edit a note the url exposes the ids of my account and the note I'm editing; idk if it's right or wrong to do that, but I tend to hide any incrementing key in the url. I know I'm the twothousandth-something user of your app, you are the first, etc. Not a bad thing, but a thing I would avoid. Also a bot could scan your database very easily and I'm sure you don't want that. For indexing purposes (speaking about using your app as a blog), it's bad for seo to have two urls pointing to the same resource (/sites/1 == /alejandro). My go to solution is to use random uuid for anything user facing.
Keep up the good job!

#228Amazing idea. Slick design. How do you embed YouTube videos though? Does it make use of iframe tag and set width to 100%?
Here’s a note https://collectednotes.com/blog/support-for-youtube
Also, for some reason YouTube embedded markdown files when exported missed out the whole section including video link and text following it.

> It’s not intended for very sensitive data. I hope you don't take this as a criticism, just feedback, because your product looks quite nice and if I weren't such a worry-wart, I'd probably subscribe. My issue with all notetaking applications is that all of my notes are "very sensitive data" to me. I treat my notes repository like a combination diary, scratchpad (where I plop things like temporary passwords and API k…
