I do this with Zim (desktop wiki).

Fellow Zim user here. Is there a way to add time stamps to each line in Zim like this app does?

Yes, there is. The manual way is to press CTRL+d where you'd like a date. Or read the thread at [1] to configure Zim adds the date on Return.

I like the idea, but not the web-based implementation. Local first, and ideally an open source app that can work offline when I'm going distraction free. It feels like a vim plugin. It definitely feels like org-mode can do this. A few years back I had a little command line tool where I could log things quickly - it was like syslog for humans - but with #hashtags for projects or clients, and then a small tool that wou…

$ ts | tee -a notes Or just ts >>notes

on macOS, just:

echo "$(date) Do something" | tee -a notes

There is no F5 key on iphones :) I couldn't find any simple apple-notes-like app, that is available on all platforms, and allows logging in this style. my private version of this app has cross-device sync, it's just not fully baked yet since I need to implement some form of signup (google/apple), and there's also the privacy issue people are concerned about which I'm not sure how to address.

Point! If you could make a way to share a note attached to a specific name, it would work very nicely for one usage which needs timestamping I've been working on (which is why I had the F5 thing at the ready), tracking how long it takes to cut a given file on a CNC, then sharing that result.

you mean sharing a note externally with someone over the internet?

I could probably do something like that, based on URL-encoding, but it will have a limit of approx ~ 2000 characters

Yes.

Having the note encoded in the URL would be a great way to share that.

Wow! I was thinking the same notes app like a month or two ago, even tried to create it! Can you open-source it? So we can contribute, and make it self hosted?

the code is quite embarrassing, imagine backend engineer writing frontend with the help of AI :) but since it's a common request, I'll consider it

I went ahead and created the app with Claude 3.7, backend is in Go, frontend is in React. Sqlite is used for storage.

There is also a docker-compose file.

Anyone can contribute

added a share option in the note editor, let me know what you think

Made a iOS Shortcuts implementation: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/2f43a044f7b5478f92fa4506d8a... Might be useful for someone.

This is pretty neat! Is font formatting allowed/possible in shortcuts? Would love the timestamp to be on a mono font! Tried fiddling with it, but haven't been able to figured it out.

I like it and have been using 2 days. I don't understand one thing: Does the thread number increase or is it only one thread. I mean the notes are going down forever even if the day changes. Congrats btw

what do you mean by thread number?

the notes will always add at the bottom

Did you expect a different behavior?
