At this point there are enough note taking app options out there that are really just a fancy interface on top of text/markdown files that I have a really hard time ever considering any ecosystem that locks my notes into their own data system. I do see an export function here, but it is unclear whether or not that export to text files or just to the PDFs. I use Obsidian, and I would love for it to be Open Source, but…
Would be good to know how it compares to Standard Notes[1] which is also open-source[2] [1] https://standardnotes.com [2] https://github.com/standardnotes/app

This person appears to have leaned heavily on LLM generation in everything from their comment here, the readme, to even their github profile page. I haven’t reviewed the code. The codebase and website consist of a handful of commits made over the prior three weekends. There is no differentiation from the existing library of note-taking apps. By any measure this is not a thing worthy of attention, and yet here it is.…
I don’t understand the unnecessary gate keeping here. There is no imaginary bar that someone should hit before sharing something they created. Who cares how it was made? If someone made something and it’s gets attention, that’s already enough merit for the post itself.
Sharing things people create should always be encouraged. If something isn’t “worthy” of your made-up standards, then move on. There’s really no reason to bring someone down for it.

I’ve tried all sorts of notes apps but for some reason always gravitate back to native apple notes 90% of the time to quickly save stuff.

That’s the thing though, they didn’t even create the comment they posted here.
If this was a small project communicated honestly then great, I’m all for it.
My edit was about a structural insight, with parallels we have already seen play out in the search space: with no standards for sharing things, or at least for presenting things, an inevitable floating mass of attention-splintering garbage results.

The person in question has a name that hints at the possibility that English is his second language. The code in question is small but neat and interesting (it’s a Vue 3/Electron app which is a relatively unusual combination); it was not I suspect written with much help from an LLM.

I use Joplin for personal and Obsidian for work.

That’s a good point I hadn’t considered. What if you can code but can’t speak English well.
It's kind of core to its being. It's very difficult indeed to get ChatGPT to write ungrammatical english even deliberately. I've tried several times.
The Github repo for this app is here: https://github.com/Daniele-rolli/Beaver-Notes

And yet, I keep using TextEditor (macOS default text editor) in plain text and, when syncing is needed, Simplenote. Sometimes people overcomplicate things that are, in essence, pretty simple.
A fundamental problem of using simple text editors for note taking is you can't easily click-jump from one note to another. If only TextEditor, Notepad, GEdit etc could make clickable hyperlinks whenever they encounter a string which is a name of a file existing in the same directory - then yes, they would be enough. And people who want a graph could just have it as a separate simple app in that case.
