I just use trello. I have columns for songs, movies, roadtrip ideas, coding ideas, you name it. Everything looks the same everywhere, desktop, phone, tablet.
It must be fun looking at their backend regarding events on your account: "This song just got promoted to a movie!"

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.
Obsidian has LaTeX support out of the box. And there are some awesome plugins to make it even better, check out https://github.com/artisticat1/obsidian-latex-suite .

Unlimited notes with online syncing? For free? I refuse to believe that. What's the catch? As the old saying goes: If it's free, you're the product.

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...
Often I need to consult notes on my phone, is there an app to comfortably browse and search notes in phone? Preferably offline with syncing. Today I use Joplin but it has custom file format.

What about mobile? Or don't you take notes there?
For me, this is always the gap that feels missing. - I want to take and view notes on various devices: mobile, personal computer, work computer, randomly logged in ad-hoc machine. - I want notes to not require me to be online all the time while writing (I work a lot on plans, or in remote locations without reliable internet) - I want notes to make reasonable assumptions about syncing, biasing on the side of avoiding…
Please charge something. In order to trust my notes somewhere, I need it to be in someone's best interest to keep my data and not grow bored or overburdened by costs. I desperately want a simple, cross-platform, online or offline, fast note taking app. Evernote was this maybe 10 years ago before the bloat. I beg them every feedback opportunity to get Team features, chat, AI, and never ending upgrades out of my face.…

Given your model, consider publishing a time-to-live metric: if you get no further donations, this is how long the service will last. Then people who care about 1 month, 1 year, or 10 years can decide accordingly. And also describe the processes for extracting data, etc. Finally, talk about your motivations. You raise the issue by pricing at $0 without addressing the concerns that raises, in a era when "free" means t…
This great feedback - thank you. I like the idea of the TTL. That's interesting if we continue on the current route. Similar to the "open start up" concept and publishing available runway, etc.
I went through a bunch of note-taking apps before I settled on a git directory that's auto-synced once an hour. This bash script is all it takes. cd ~/notes if [[ ''$(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
What about mobile? Or don't you take notes there?
Updates are triggered from the git repo push, so as long as I remember to sync before I run off(or wait for it to auto-sync)
Any git client for your mobile would also let you view your notes. Maybe even edit, depending on the git client.

I'm building a note-taking app, so I hope you don't mind, but I was wondering if you might describe how you "search" your notes while using a device's file system search? For desktop, I might use a tool like grep to do that, but that's pretty developer-y, so if you're doing something more user-friendly, that's interesting to me. What is more interesting to me, though, is what you're using on mobile to do this? I've n…
