Obsidian: https://obsidian.md has been the best free (for personal use) 'second brain' app I've used so far. What's better about reflect?
I use and really like Obsidian, but there is something about the UX that is often making me come back to Apple Notes: it feels easier/faster to create new notes, retrieve them and search in Apple Notes.
Woah, 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 apprec…
Your product claims to be end to end encrypted. Since it is closed source, do you plan on providing any proof via a third-party security audit?

What happens if you go out of business?
I use https://ticktick.com/ for this and I'm 100% happy after years of jumping between GTD style apps (OmniFocus combined with Obsidian being a close 2nd). Todo lists, markdown notes, and a calendar. 3 critical organization apps combined in the same interface, all I need. $10/m seems steep for this sort of thing. Premium on TickTick is $27/yr and optional.
Assuming we trust TickTick and Reflect equally and both implementations are perfect, Reflect is E2EE, whereas TickTick: > All the databases and servers are hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States. We make extensive use of their built-in firewalls to protect your data against unauthorized remote access and to support continuous monitoring for potential vulnerabilities.

People who are obsessed with second-brain tools often accomplish the least because they are preoccupied with optimizing the perfect setup. Notes.app FTW
Nice. 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

There’s too many considerations: “What should I name this note?” “What should I link this note to?” “What folder should this be under?”
