Where can I download an executable binary I can run directly on my system, ideally without having to make an account either? Those are two pretty important things for me

It said in the title it was open source. The code is here : https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown The link was on the front page of the submitted page.
I care about longevity, will I get local .md files so I can easily back up and have them to move to other programs if the worst were to happen?
Do you have a taggin system? Hard to see in the screenshot.
What about linking notes? To be honest, joplin sucks a bit about this.
How do you pay for hosting? Joplin has Jolin cloud, and its a couple bucks a month, how do you make it free, especially in the long run?

The source (is cool to have) but it does not include any installation instructions in the slightest. Also it sounds like you would still need to "sign in" even if you built it from source.
Hiya 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…
Looks cool! Curious how you envision the difference between using something like Obsidian (+ github for sync) or LogSeq vs Writedown? Do you plan on supporting networked thought features like concept graphs via hashtags & [[keyword links]] ?
Our goal with writedown is to keep things simple. A simple interface that focuses on writing, not complicated features like Kanban, graphs or doing too many things at once.
writedown, since it's got social features like blog posts, will feature more of them in the future. So while the complexity may grow as far as publishing features are concerned, the editor itself will remain simple and powerful :)

I'll update the installation instructions too.
Been looking for a good mobile markdown editor for a blog so I love this. A few things: * Github login is broken for me * Lots of extra vertical space on the edit page on mobile when in landscape. * Would be great if one of the publish options was to publish to a github repo for use with github pages!
Ah sorry about that, will fix it ASAP.
> Lots of extra vertical space on the edit page on mobile when in landscape.
Ah right, that's from the desktop. Will fix that as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll keep on adding more publishing features with time :)
For a heavy joplin user - can you compare the features? It looks like an awesome UI, but wanna make sure itll be good before I jump!

Yes, you can easily download PDF, HTML and MD files.
> Do you have a taggin system? Hard to see in the screenshot.
No not yet, since this is our second MVP and public beta. We have planned a tagging system though, because it's important for our social blog features.
> What about linking notes? To be honest, joplin sucks a bit about this.
Not yet, because we want to avoid too much complexity on the UI side but yes, the features will grow as the app grows :)

I have a sponsored hosting from Vercel because the project is FOSS. All I need to do is take care of the firebase side. We did talk about introducing paid plans but that's far future for now, we'll adjust according to the feedback we get and it also depends on how people are using the app.

Here's some more information about the encryption: https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/server-side-encrypti... > In which way would it affect usability? Cloud sync would be quite difficult and I'd like to avoid the backup-restore game that most other apps don't seem to mind, because writedown's focus is on reducing complexity for people. I'm not someone who uses Notion, I find it rather complicated and most apps…
There would be extra complexity for sure, especially with key management, but I don't think it would affect sync much. It's end-to-end so by definition it should only happen client-side, and instead of sending plaintext to the cloud your send the ciphertext.
