Nice stuff. I want a browser extension to "send to recall" It could save me to have 100 tabs saved by groups of interest...
Couldn't the entire thing be a browser extension?

#102Had a quick look, but it seems not possible to make a normal note with normal paragraphs. Every line has a bullet point. That's a showstopper for me.
No tagging system. Categories are not tags. Tags are essential, and also search options for basic things like searching all contents of note, or just note names, or just within a category/folder. Customisation of home screen (recent and fav notes), pinned notes, etc.
This is why I'm building my own notes app, just for me, no plans to release it. I think these kinds of apps end up being very personal, in terms of customisation and features. For example, I need specific UX that allows fast access to notes, and I definitely prefer having an old fashioned "save" button in the note rather than auto-saving as you type (I can't stand that). Lots of little details that please me but not necessarily others. Also.. kind of on the easier side of web app building, which suits me!

#103How is this different than keep.google.com

#104If this were some kind of application I could run locally that didn't require any sign up or send my personal information anywhere I might have a use for it, although it seems like a lot of other solutions exist in the same place in the form of personal wiki's and note apps.
I don't see much value in letting someone else track the things I'm interested in over the course of my life though. Handing that kind of data over is highly likely to result in it being used against me later. Even assuming that you'd never think of using this data for market research or selling it to anyone the truth is that services are often bought up or management changes hands long after people started submitting their data.

#105What's a good way to organize bookmarks directly from the browser with an extension?
Re: Show HN: A tool to help you remember shit you are interested in
#106Right now, to remember shit I use collections and favorites in browser and also text files. How will recall make it easier to remember shit?

#107This looks super useful to me. Trying it out right now. Is there a way to have my own tags/collections I can mark notes with? For example I have books that I want to bookmark because I plan of reading them. And there are books I love and want them in another list. I would also like to share the latter with friends when they ask me if I can recommend a good book on a specific topic. For movies I already use public imdb lists for that.

#108Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why? What does a "proper mobile version" get you?
Yeah, my take is that the hierarchy is web site >> mobile web site >> mobile (cr)app With the modification that if you have a very small phone sometimes the mobile site comes out ahead. To take an example, right when a search has brought you to something you want to read on reddit, reddit distracts you with a popup telling you it is ‘better’ to use the app. Well, once you’ve installed the app they punch you in the fa…
I find apps almost always preferable. Not only do I get dedicated backup, the apps are usually better for mobile UX. Of course, that excludes crappy apps like Reddit’s, in those cases there are often 3rd-party-apps.

#109I see what this app is about but at the same time it enforces information overload which is an instant turn off for me. What'll happen if I were to use it: I'll pile up more and more stuff I'm interested into, I'll receive news about all things I've subscribed to and eventually I'll get annoyed from the "spam". Then I'll unsubscribe realizing that information overload can't be handled with apps, I have to solve that problem in my head. In the mean time Obsidian does the job for me if I'm really really interested in something - I write it down and it's still not 100% that I'll come back to it later. That's a no go for me with all the apps that are used to create a "personal encyclopedia". Engineering wise I can't say anything but good about the app. Keep it up someone might see things in a completly different way that me, there still might be a big market for this.
