Hi Friends, I'm the author of GitNoter. I'd love to answer any questions you have
Could you support markdown headers like these: --- date: 2021-09-14T22:51:33+02:00 modified: 2021-09-29T15:40:38+02:00 --- Then it would interoperate with GitJournal perfectly I think :).

#73For me, Evernote’s killer feature is automatic OCR. (Subs that I can just upload a doc through my phone’s camera). It looks like this doesn’t have that, unfortunately.

#74I love how more and more of us are using Git to store our notes, though in this case it's more coupled to GitHub than Git. If there is already a need to self-host this, then why not just hook into git and make this more generic? In fact, why is a Postgres database even needed? Please note that I'm biased. I work on [GitJournal]( https://gitjournal.io ) which is similar, but only mobile based.
GitJournal is nice. Just wanted to check with whats your opinion about this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31580996 Did you get the permission for using "Git" mark?
I'll shoot them an email and ask, and start thinking of a different name. In the case of Gitea [0], there doesn't seem to have been any response.
Thanks for bringing this up. Though I wonder how well can "Software Freedom Conservancy" claim "GitSomething" is not allowed when there are clearly so so many projects doing it. Eg - Gitolite / Gittea. Trademarks are only so good as long as they are enforced.

#76I created a self-hostable, automatically syncing PWA to keep notes and checklists (more of a Google Keep clone): https://tinylist.app

I love the simplicity and power of Obsidian. It also lets me sync desktop and iPhone for free via iCloud.
How does that happen? Is it triggered by changes, or can I trigger it myself by flicking the page down? As long as the sync isn't determined by a schedule or hidden inside a menu, it could work for me.
This [source](https://help.noteplan.co/article/86-how-to-force-sync) says that opening the iCloud Drive on Finder will trigger sync. On the mobile Obsidian app, you can flicker the page down to download updated data, obviously it will only work if the more recent data was uploaded.

#78Thanks for sharing, but almost all "alternatives to Evernote" lack some of the most important (to me) features like web clipping, OCR and related notes. The only real alternative to Evernote I've found is DEVONthink.

yes right. I'm thinking of implementing add-ons for all popular note taking services like google, evernote, onenote etc so that the notes can be imported using gitnoter.
Nice idea! And Google Tasks, please. That would be a relief to finally make a link between Google Keep and Google Tasks, something long overdue!
