Maybe consider a name change. There is another very popular app with the same name which does some other stuff...
I find this quite amusing

#32on my iphone the readme ascii art title gets truncated to just "STASI" :-) been looking for something like this! will definitely check it out.
Great! Looking forward to getting some issues and reviews :)

#33I will have to try this. Question: is there a way to make this automatic on state changes? I had an issue recently where a child accidentally overwrote my huge Apple notes and I couldn’t undo the change, or restore my history I lost a lot of work
Damn! I'm so sorry to hear that :((
Happened to me too and I also find it kinda frustrating.
As you can see on the README, my first backlog item is to add a diff mechanism. Would also love for help but either way I'm going to add it.
In the meanwhile all I can offer is to buy you a coffee and apologize <3

#34I think the name is not unique enough
Any ideas?
Re: Show HN: Stash – Sync Markdown Files with Apple Notes via CLI
#35Nice idea, although I fear it will break due to AppleScript. I might take some time to investigate doing it all as a Swift CLI.
Even though: "Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future". But historically speaking, AppleScript is pretty stable.

#36How is this different to Obsidian which has a nice UI, supports importing Apple Notes and iCloud Sync works and is free.
The big benefit is that you get to use the Apple Notes app. I prefer Apple Notes on my phone, to be honest. I haven't used Obsidian's app on iOS in over a year. I personally put all my work-related dev notes in Obsidian, and all my life-related quick notes in Apple Notes.
Exactly that, I completely agree. I don't want to stop using apple notes, I just want to be able to use vim as well.

I would dispute that since many of my automations have broken throughout the years as Apple tweaked their applications.

Thanks. I haven’t used AppleScript before but will try to find time to take a look, learn, and maybe figure it out!

This is exactly where I'm at, actually. Nvim on Mac OS or Linux and Notes on iPhone would be my dream combination.
