Hi Friends, I'm the author of GitNoter. I'd love to answer any questions you have

I understand that this allows you to manage collections of notes in Markdown format backed up to a Git repository. This is nice and I consider this to be useful, but I would suggest not to position it against Evernote but against knowledge management tools for teams (internal wikis, confluences of the world, etc)

Another alternative that Im using and very happy with - Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ ). Also provides import from Evernote which mostly worked in my case.

Second that. Used to be in Evernote, but eventually just exported the Evernote, imported to Joplin and set up their web clipper extension in Chrome. Joplin stores notes as basically markup files, so sync is pretty trivial through any file syncing service / app in the universe.

Nice project. Is there any plan to handle gitlab login/other kind of login as well ? For now it seems to work only with github.

Yes. The idea is to support as many git services as possible. Which includes GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket and more

For the initial POC I have integrated it with GitHub

Agree, but GitNoter is self hosted webapp it does not require any desktop/mobile client. It can be directly accessible with the browser.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check if import from evernote can be added as a feature to GitNoter.
