I think I'm able to view all other gists. If I open the Gist on https://gist.github.com/ then go to the original gist at 'kobble-git/channel-groups.json' I can navigate to all the forks and see data for other users.

Not sure why this isn't at the top. This is crazy.

This 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

Seen https://blankslate.io/ ?

The idea is great, the implementation not so much. Add a simple code block in markdown and the engine gets crazy with quotes getting converted to HTML entities, etc.

What does this have over Standard Notes? https://standardnotes.org/

May I recommend https://meemo.minimal-space.de instead. Much better understand, imo

I think adding encryption at the client side would make more practical, like what laverna does. https://github.com/Laverna/laverna

It's because it was issued by StartCom. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2016/10/24/distrusting-new... https://security.googleblog.com/2016/10/distrusting-wosign-a...

I use Firefox 53 and this certificate appears to be valid in my Browser (green lock), I wonder why...

Mozilla only distrusted the certificates issued after October 2016; theirs is from September.

I think we assumed that GitHub users would know that gists are not private. We added a clarification to the onboard slideshow. Support for public and private repos is coming, via GitHub Integrations.

That's precisely why we use GitHub. It's unlikely to be gone tomorrow. No data is stored on our servers. In fact, we don't even see it. The data is transferred directly from your browser to GitHub.

https://gist.github.com/kobble-git/87ea625d421177f9e9307c6ce... If you think that is ok, you're insane.

Devs, pro tip: if you call a file "minified", please minify it. Your main.min.js is a whopping 4.7mb of un-minified JS.

Anyone 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?

The main use case for Gists and thus Gistbox is storing code snippets. However you can save any kind of text you want. Gistbox lets you organize your Gists under labels so they're easy to find back. Moreover it offers you the option to save private Gists. Using a tool like nativefier you can even turn it into a desktop app.
