For those asking about the advantages of NotesHub over Obsidian, this app offers a web version—a feature I have long wished Obsidian would provide.

#62Can you share a bit about the tech behind this? Are the desktop apps electron apps or something else? Thx!

#63what is the license? Always free? One day might cost you?

#64Is the source code available anywhere, by chance? I’m curious how it was built.

I can understand that. There're so many Markdown editors, choice paralysis easily kicks in. Markdown ist basically a must have for me though, because I know most applications will be outlived by my notes, and I want to be able to move on to a different editor. To try a new one, or even use multiple at the same time (say, on my phone and on my computer), it's unacceptable for me if I have to export and import all my n…
The one thing that annoys me is that Markdown is not highly standardized. Seems like every implementation is its own dialect and feature support varies quite a bit.

#66Just out of curiosity is this a Flutter app and if so how did you find the experience of using it to develop a cross platform app?

#67It 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.

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”
"Thanks" for making me spit my coffee, that's hilarious but awesome; I will be using it in the future. :-D
When I started grad school and was learning how to write effectively, I struggled with passive/active voice differentiation… until I learned the zombies tip. It’s so absurd that you can’t forget it, and it’s simple enough to differentiate the two in a split second!
