Can you recommend a markdown native app for Windows? Currently switching to simple markdown notes myself but a bit annoyed always opening VS Code for a tiny note.
Notable is great and open source. https://notable.md/
From views on Notion perspective is that this is the right time to go open source and let the world patch in. It's not a work that can be done in private as it's a huge pile of possibilities and requires an immense group of talented people to make it a success.
Why don't i do it then? Well i can definitely start a repo but my lack of experience, skills will easily out-number me by people who are better. I can be a good thinker and a decision maker and a leader but this thing needs support from amazing people and a repo is generally successful because of immence tech skills in initial phase of development in open source.
I love using Notion, but I think the general discussion about it does not talk enough about how it's flexibility is also a problem many times. 1. Flexibility of blocks is a cognitive overhead for most folks in my team. They would rather prefer more constrained and opinionated approaches like Trello 2. Notion is currently a jack of all trades and master of none. We have tried to use it as a wiki, project tracker, issu…
What all these platforms really need is solid APIs and interoperability so we can use the right tool while keeping everything in one place (ideally email or slack).

Also, the whole Emoji's thing is distracting to me. I just want to see plain text in simple san-serif fonts, with borders (which are apparently outdated in favor of massive emptiness of negative space). Visual cognitive load is ok as far as the brain can process blocks of information. Such as a table with borders. When you have emojis, colors, effects, etc without clarity of separation, you get something that becomes…
I called it Emoji-Driven-Development.

That looks pretty nice. I've put my email in your signup as this is something that I've built half of about 5 times now.
What are the five apps called?
I tried the Notion twice. It looks good, works fine and has a reasonable price. But. You cannot write notes in this application. Literally. You can build tables, resize images, align lists in different shapes, have a dashboard for all thousand cases you have with favourites photos as headers, filter views with a million conditions, manage to-dos and project with kanban, ..., but you cannot write simple notes. The int…

I am really surprised no one has mentioned https://zenkit.com/ . Kanban - Wiki - Calendar - List - Mindmap - Hierarchy etc. It does those things very well.

That's funny. One time while converting a prototype to less of a prototype, I created like 40 PRs in 40 working days. There were so many in-flight at one time that I couldn't really use normal issue trackers. Instead I created one GitHub issue with a table of items. Each item had an emoji in the first column that indicated its current status. The gear was 'in-progress', 'eyes' review, 'ship' deploying, and green chec…
Please link me the github issue so I can make use of a bottle of kerosene I've got left from 1940's gas lamp.

Your data being inaccessible without a private key or password is the entire point.
People rightfully get skittish when there's no "forgot password" mechanism to get their account and data back. I certainly agree that that's the point, but such a system needs some potential usability affordances. For instance, a key stored in the browser rather than a password the user has to remember, and ideally a key synced between multiple devices controlled by the user so that the loss or failure of one device…

There is no easy way to implement client side encryption. You will have a private key or long password the you will keep safe. You lose that all your data in gone. Plus it's difficult to securely move that password to a new platform
Much more critical (imo) software such as Backblaze offers full encryption, it’s the user choice and responsibility. That’s what privacy is also about.
