Re: Show HN: Writedown - Open Source Markdown Diary
#2Hiya Hackers!
For the past few months, I've been working on writedown (https://writedown.app, https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown). A free and open source markdown editor that focuses on UI and UX. It's made to be simple and beautiful but still powerful.
writedown has live markdown preview (option to disable this also coming soon), offline support, PWA and cloud sync.
You can also share your posts with other people (https://writedown.app/DhpDKTulcnOecM3wYt4AOiWiuGE3/posts/82f...) and download your posts in PDF, Markdown or HTML format.
Please do tell me how you like it and if you think it's useful (or not). I've been trying to create something simple that I could use for my personal notes, notes that I can share with my friends and so writedown came into existence.
I hope you like it and if you don't, I'd love to know the reasons. This is our second MVP and we're sharing this public beta with you all.
Thank you :)

#3I like this a lot, can you talk about what you are doing to protect user's private data? that's something I'd want to be convinced about before I use it.

On the privacy front, we're never going to compromise the user data, never going to sell it, never going to share it with anybody else. We'll be making writedown self-hostable as well.
On the security front, we're using firebase firestore as the database. So at rest, it's well encrypted.
We're thinking of introducing some sort of encryption via passwords (kinda how I already am doing it on https://maglit.me). E2EE would be quite difficult and would affect the usability.

An option to try it without logging in would be nice.
Since it has offline support it seems like that should be possible?

Yes, we were actually working on it too but had to prioritize some other things.
In future though, we'll surely be adding the ability to use the editor without logging in so. Login will be there if you want to save the notes via cloud sync :)

#8So if you guys are into diary and personal note keeping I am just working on a telegram bot that do just that.
@Simple_DIary_bot
That you can use: http://t.me/Simple_DIary_bot
I wanted it to work with audio messages so you can just send an audio message that is send to openai whisper and a text is extracted.
It also send an reminder everyday so that I don't forget my daily entry.
Technically it is all based on AWS Lambda and Dynamodb.

Ah, pretty cool!
I use Telegram for notes/journals too but it doesn't support markdown and that's how I got the idea for writedown haha.

Huh? Telegram does support md (in it's own flavour)?
