#72Anyone looking for a nice interface to manage your Gists should take a look at http://www.gistboxapp.com
If I'm not much of a coder, is this app okay for regular documentation/notes?

Seen https://blankslate.io/ ?
Just FYI, the site doesn't have a valid HTTPS certificate.
(Creator here) ugh that's such a bummer. I didn't know that I don't see that in my browsers.
Anyone have a suggestion for a better cert I could get? Starcom was so nice and simple but seems like it's causing issues for users now that Mozilla and Google are going to distrust the cert.

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.)
So, uh, why are you introducing it as a notes app? You've got a good start to something; take two steps back, consume and digest the feedback you're getting, then use it to better your approach.
Good point. There is only so much you can say in one line on HN. Marketing is tough. Any suggestions would be welcome.

#75This feels excessively complicated to me. what's a track? what's a channel? why do I need filenames for everything? why does it take 3 minutes for a new user to write a single line of 'note' ? a beautiful notes app (to me) would be one where you start with writing a note
Everything in Kobble can be shared. Channels are there to organize tracks - your tracks and tracks from other users. Kobble can be used for much more than just note taking. It's meant to share meaningful content with other users. A track is like a project, and channels make it easy to share them.

I'm sorry. I just don't know what this means. Can you show some examples?
EDIT: I tried it. Tried adding a URL, but just got errors. Filenames worked though. Now how do I share it with my mom? Does she need a github account to look at it? I don't immediately see the use of this. You may need to explain it better.

When your users tell you otherwise, maybe it's not prudent to insist on terminology choice?
Fair enough. Didn't mean to come across as insisting. There was much debate about the term track. Project is closer, but has problems also. Cheers.

https://letsencrypt.org/ - it works, and it's free!

#79> 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.
Perhaps the word 'control' would be a better choice.
