Re: Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped

In my work I often need to know when things happened, for scenarios like: interviews, incidents, protocol meetings, experiments, debugging, etc

I noticed there was no simple way to achieve this with any note taking app, so I made one.

* every line you write is automatically timestamped.

* minimalist and distraction free - follows the simplicity of the built-in note apps.

* cross platform - it's a webapp so no install required, works great on mobile, web, android, iOS, tablets.

you can use it for free, no email and no signup required.

I made this first version where data is stored locally on your device.

Sharing here in case someone finds it useful, it would be great to know I solved the same problem for anyone else :)

Looks good. How do I share across devices?

Would I ever be able to see the source, or run whatever backend the above request requires myself? Maybe I've answered my first question and this thing is 100% client side.

I've been using https://www.usememos.com/ as of late, so the concept resonates with me. It's the first note taking app I've went all in on that seems to make time a first-class feature. Yours takes that even further by breaking it down per entry.

Interesting.

I have almost the same workflow with https://getdrafts.com/ where I only take short notes and I have custom action which sets the creation date+time of the note as its first line. But, having a separate entry for each line is the next level of this approach.

I really don't get how this can't be emulated with the F5 key, or something like Sublime Text's InsertDate package, or a text expansion software. What does this note taking provide that's any different?

Yeah, this seems like an Obsidian package waiting to happen.
