I went through a bunch of note-taking apps before I settled on a git directory that's auto-synced once an hour. This bash script is all it takes. cd ~/notes if [[ ''$(git status --porcelain) ]]; then git stash save git pull --rebase git stash pop || true git add . git -c "user.name=Phil Kulak" -c "user.email=nope@kulak.us" commit -m "''$(date)" git push origin main else git pull fi

But what do you use to actually take the notes? After trying a bunch of apps I settled on VS Code with a custom Profile that has all the settings, extensions and UI states that I need for taking markdown notes. I realised that I already spend at minimum 8-10 hours a day in VS Code, why learn another app with all the different quirks, UI and key bindings...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

other co-founder here: 1. Currently there isn't support, but not opposed if there is a need. 2. Also, there isn't a way to export (or self host) as of now. Just some background - We originally built this out as a standalone desktop app (~4 years ago) and then re-worked it for the web around the same time. We were planning to eventually rewrite the desktop app for just that reason - to have the offline syncing and cle…

If this had TeX I'd be interested immediately. There's no great way at the moment to mathematical notes, it's a big pain point.

The sign up process is not very fluid to me. First off, I don't really like password signups in general, but on Android I was able to get auto generated password for the password field but was stuck because the Google password manager didn't recognize the other field as a password confirmation.
