Having been a notational velocity / Simplenote user for ages, I’m very happy to be able to migrate my stash of notes into FSNotes, and bonus - it can take images/ photos (far better than standard notes manages - a neglected purchase I have) and even encryption for specific entries that works easily!! Wow all my ideals in one place. I’m a convert for sure, but have to admit, still using NV on my desktop and Simplenote on iOS, but it looks like they will be left behind slowly, as I’m only adding to FSNotes now. I hope they keep it independent and avoid the eventual buyout offers to come.

#102If it has already integrated git, why not support syncing through the VCS instead of third party like Dropbox or iCloud? Is there any note taking app that automatically syncs changes with a remote repository, so I can simply provide credentials to a hosted git instance and it does everything out of the box?

#103I was very intrigued then you had me with mermaid support. New customer!

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
hehe I guess I missed it? Thank you. never spent long enough on the app to tweak the settings, even though I think I tried to look up the preferences and couldn’t find it there
Nothing to do with this app. That’s an OS-wide preference available in EVERY app.
Unless it’s an Electron turd, in which case YMMV regarding system services and interface conventions. :p

#105After GitHub.dev was released (hit “.” on any GitHub repo, to open it in browser-based VS Code), I immediately saw the notetaking workflow that I wanted: a GitHub repo, storing markdown that I can own/control, but editable in the browser, using my existing VS Code preferences (theme, keybindings, etc.). Unfortunately, VS Code doesn’t natively support wiki links, so I created an extension that simply adds that feature…
I like this idea, is a private git repo (on github.com) a safe place to store personal notes?

Yep! That’s what I use for my personal notes.

How does this work for you if you’re on a mobile device?
theres a github app you can download. I imagine the note editing experience on the mobile app is a bit subpar.

#108Looks a little like SimpleNote, and also free.
Difference looks like Apple tech only.
It's got end-to-end encryption, which is amazing!
I'm hoping SimpleNote will get end-to-end- encryption soon.

#110I will pay $100 a year for an iOS-like Notes replacement, de-Appled with these criteria: 1. Secure - E2E encrypted on cloud storage, vendor cannot read it 2. Accessible - standalone native app on desktop and mobile on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac/iOS, Android) 3. Simple - love how Apple doesn't even make you "title" notes, it just takes the first line 4. Shareable - with others with editing privs eg a grocery l…
Have you looked into Joplin?
Joplin seems like a good SimpleNote alternative.
And I'm really after the end-to-end encryption
