Looks interessting. Is there an export? Kanban might also be something to strive for. This should be easily implementable by just adding a column- or grid-layout with title-element at the top, per tab.

export sounds like an awesome feature to add .. I guess the format of the exported data is something I'd have to think about

any format in particular ? .. JSON would be the most natural , XML is possible .. plain text probably the most useful

Very cool. Be nice to have it as a Chrome plugin just to open it quickly, or have it there all the time as a new tab.

We were thinking of making a desktop client for codeowl , but chrome plugin might be even easier

Not just chrome. Some people use Firefox ;)

I tried it, it's promising. I'd like a desktop app/ browser plugin version too, I think. But don't take just my word for it... I'm not sure I'm a good client for this sort of app (e.g. I don't pay for Evernote, just use it within their "free" limitations)

Whatever would be simple and stable. So yaeh, JSON seems to be the obvious choice. I guess Firebase or your web-framework is already using it internally?

Export is the natural downfall of every cloud-solution. Because if people have no way to get their data, many will not bother to bound with a closed up tool.

Feature request: Search. If I don't have the ability to search search through all my Notes/Todos/Code/Links, then it's kinda useless to me. I like it a lot, though. Thumbs up.

Search is a feature we are working on for the next update

To the CodeOwl developers: How did this Show HN work out for you? What kind of traffic did you get to your site? Did people give it a solid test-drive? Did they offer good suggestions, find bugs, etc? Thanks.

We got quite a bit of traffic , and the target group is perfect for codeowl, also the feedback has been overwhelming and mostly positive. I think Show HN is a great idea for dev tools
