I'd really love a good Evernote alternative, but the one feature that tends not to exist is full page bookmarking / web clipping. I want to be able to clip a full page easily into the program, which will also save a copy of whatever article I happen to be reading. I really wouldn't mind (and would even love) to roll my own notes system with vim/etc. But without full page clipping, it would be a problem. Another good…

Yes, here's the source: - source of that specific post in raw org [1] - site source [2] [1]: https://gitlab.com/kaushalmodi/kaushalmodi.gitlab.io/raw/mas... [2]: https://gitlab.com/kaushalmodi/kaushalmodi.gitlab.io (I wish HN supported some markup :P)

Thanks! How did you edit that? As shown? I assumed it included many INCLUDEs?

That, I have edited as shown (except the snippet outputs). That was an example of using Org Babel. Note that the #+RESULT blocks in that file are all auto-generated; none hand-written.

That post does not have any #+INCLUDE because all the code snippets are trivial. I would use #+INCLUDE in posts where I have a code file, and I want to talk about only few lines from that.

I have different examples of #+INCLUDE in my examples file[1] for my Org to Markdown for Hugo exporter -- ox-hugo[2]. There I use the inbuilt INCLUDE feature where I choose to include only the specified Org sub-tree (using the sub-tree CUSTOM_ID). The above referenced post on Nim/Python is converted to Markdown for Hugo using the same exporter.

There are so many note taking apps and yet I still can't find one I like. My requirements are simple: - Markdown - cross platform with sync - tags I have settled on SimpleNote for now, but I'm not completely happy. It's mac app is low quality and doesn't have markdown, It's open source but they ignore most of the issues. Bear Notes looks cool but wasn't cross platform. I am still looking. If this thing had phone apps…

If you are looking for cross-platform like MacOS, iOS, Android (I am not sure about Windows) then I recommend https://ia.net/writer/ It has apps for iOS and Android and app for MacOS. It is very fast (at least this is my experience) and supports sync with iCloud and Dropbox and Google Drive. I use only iClod and it works amazingly.

I am using it for over 3 years I think. It just supports Markdown simple. You can choose your extension .md or .txt - depending on what you want to do next with your files.

You lost me with your privacy policy

Can you tell me why it is bad? I am actually very concerned with the privacy of the app's users. The only communications I send to your email address are the initial onboarding emails and the saved bookmarks. No drip messages, no promotional emails etc. I guess I need to convey that better in the privacy policy. I'd appreciate any links/resources that can help me draft a better privacy policy.

Bellow is just an example of what I consider a big red flag, which mostly represents lack of control over my data.

EmailThis has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time (...) We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

I will not be prompted to read and accept your new privacy policy, which you can update at any point in time without notifying me. I prefer the peace of mind of not needing to visit a website everyday to check on their privacy policy.

I'm not saying that this kind of business model is bad, it's just not what I am looking for. I prefer to give away a couple of bucks a year for some subscription than allowing my data to be used for profit indiscretionary.

Yes and for a piece of software that heavily relies on its ecosystem, you want the ecosystem to be vibrant in 10 years from now.

Emacs and org-mode will still be here (along with the armoured cockroaches) long after we're all gone. In fact, I have more faith in the longevity of emacs than I do of Android or iOS, or Evernote/OneNote for that matter.

well, without any extra information, the expected future lifetime of a thing is proportional (equal, actually) to its lifetime so far. therefore, yes, it's perfectly sensible to expect Emacs to last longer :)
