The more I use it the more I like it. And I started out liking it

Didn’t know about the swiping until I saw the video which I didn’t know was on the site. I was swiping the notes in the list view but there you have to long press.

The share button for posts doesn’t list safari, unexpectedly.

I could figure out how to go premium from the iOS version I guess this is Apples restriction. I was able to set and remove a domain which is listed as a premium perk.

Will think about that, what kind of things would you put? I don’t want to become a CMS or geo cities :)

It's mainly to work around bugs in the system. For example: site: https://www.shawwn.com/thanks markdown: https://www.shawwn.com/thanks.page If you "view source" on the markdown page, you'll see: Twitter: @theshawwn The reason is that [@theshawwn]( https://twitter.com/theshawwn ) didn't convert into HTML for some reason. I assume the @ character threw it off, and I didn't want to drop what I was doing to figure out w…

Thank you! Yes didn’t had time to setup in-app purchases but should be there soon. The swipe gesture is getting a revamp so it will be more obvious on the next update :)

I was thinking of making something similar, along with E2E encryption. Could you add it? Basic principle is you encrypt the DB or the individual notes with an AES synchronous key with a password that you put through a KDF and then apply your sync method to the individual notes.

I’ve been thinking about adding encryption, and I might in the near future. But honestly, I think for really secured notes I still prefer to keep them on device. Even with E2E.

Yes, your markdown implementation is fine. Pandoc (the one I use) seemed broken. The HTML was a way of working around the problem.

The main reason to let users inject HTML is that they can add features you don't have. GA is one; mathjax is another.

ironic that it says "No nonsense" on their landing page but then it stores my thoughts/notes in the cloud. no thanks to another crappy freemium SaaS platform (for sure they have "recurring revenues" on their business plan).

There’s no business plan. I haven’t found a way to store notes on blogs without putting the notes on the cloud yet. Thanks!

Less 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…

Great work. UI tip: When reading on mobile browser and rotating the phone the text doesn’t expand to occupy more space like it can. I find myself doing this a lot to read code on my phone so when a site doesn’t adapt to allow me to read it without odd line breaks I usually leave the site.
