> Kobble is the only app available where you own all of your data. What? I find that highly unlikely. In what way do I not "own" the texts I write in–for example–Apple's Notes.app? And what is even meant by "own"? Even for something like Facebook, I'm pretty sure that I still own the copyright for texts I write in their app.

The model is very similar to other popular apps, like YouTube or Spotify. Instead of organizing songs or videos into channels, you organize tracks.
But these terms make some amount of intuitive sense on YouTube or Spotify. I don't have to know anything about YouTube or Spotify other than they deal with video clips and music to have a decent idea what a 'track', 'video', 'channel', 'playlist' might mean. These terms don't translate that well to 'notes', though.
If it's hosted on Github's servers, you don't really "own" it. Or at least you don't have sole proprietorship of your data.
I got a proof of concept working but was too lazy to integrate with GitHub and canned it.
Working on something more fun now and learning vue.js.

Shameless plug time again... * My summer project (2016): http://public.docs.xstatic.site * The pitch goes something like this: | Docs is a simple, fast and easy to use, web based document editor. It generates static (but editable) HTML files that can than be easily shared and printed. Like Google Docs inside an AWS S3 bucket. * More info in this document: http://docs.xstatic.site/markdown_db86ac26-f232-4400-a544-d5..…

Normally I'd expect something like "it is stored under your control" for the slogan "own your data", but that doesn't square with "saves directly to GitHub"
Exactly. I see very little difference whether my notes are stored in a github repo or a google drive folder. In either case they are under "my" account but I don't think I would say that I really "own" the data because either service could hypothetically be gone tomorrow.

Kobble can be used for much more than just notes. You organize 'tracks', which are more like projects. Tracks can contain notes, but also more meaningful content. Anything you can create with markdown (plus links, etc.)

By 'own', we mean that no data is stored on our servers. The goal is privacy and to protect your data.
