#4I used Reflect when this was in Beta and free and liked the experience.
However most of what you get from this, you can get from Obsidian as well. Despite that Obsidian never stuck for me while Reflect kinda did.
These days I am back to Bear since it's free, native, fast and editing experience is top notch and I never found much use of bidirectional links.
It really has to be some kind of behavioural trait that makes some of us try every notes app out there.

#5Obsidian: https://obsidian.md has been the best free (for personal use) 'second brain' app I've used so far.
What's better about reflect?

#6Woah, cool to see Reflect on HN.
I started Reflect a few years ago. We're building it as a lifestyle company. There's only four of us. We bootstrapped for a while, and then did a $1m crowdfund. Now our goal is to get to profitability, and we're half-way there.
Product wise, our goal is to make something beautiful, fast, secure - that just works out the box. We're end-to-encrypted, which I think this crowd will appreciate.
Happy to answer any questions.

#7how do I get something like this but in VSC or Obsidian? or to come at a slightly different angle, is anyone working on a version of this sort of product that can be self-hosted?

#9Nice. I'd be super interested in deeper AI integrations for note taking apps, to help you reach certain goals, e.g.:
- calorie counting or diets: just write down what you ate, and it should be good enough to compute calories, macros etc.
- gym logging: write down when you went to the gym and what you did, and it should give you tips, help you maintain your routine and other helpful things

I love this! You should be able to do both of these today - we let you save custom prompt templates.
