Congratulations for the launch. I really like the idea of being able to interact with my notes through messaging. I would like to see this as a feature of Evernote. Now I can email notes to Evernote, which I use all the time, I can also send Telegram messages to Evernote, thanks to IFTTT, but I cannot perform searches using email or messaging, which is what this tool is made for. I hope that the guys at Evernote copy the idea once they solve the more basic issues they have now.

I have also thought that this app is, in fact, a CLI app, through messaging. It reminds me taskwarrior a lot, which is a task manager that allows to add notes to the task, similarly to how /tap does.

Thanks! I made /tap and I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The thing is, working on tap has been and continues to be fun! I think there are so many note-taking apps because a. they _can be_ easy to make and b. because everyone has their own way they want to take a note. I think of tap less as a note-taking system, more like the system to make the system. Sure there's a long way to go to _fully_ realize that, b…
> how many note-taking systems have S-expression formulas that support nested functions? Obsidian, Workflowy, Roam Research, Dynalist, Quire, Asana and Org Mode, just to name a few off the top of my head.
Do you know how Obsidian does this? I can't find reference to it.

If people are interested, Joplin is a great FOSS note taking software built on markdown but adds e2e encryption, a web clipper, a nice desktop UI, Integrated syncing (you can use Dropbox or something like that, or pay for their service), and more. The mobile app needs some work, but overall I like it.
Joplin was dog shit when I used it. Basically it tries to save the file after every single character you type so if your document becomes long enough it starts using a shit load of data and crashing your phone. There was also something weird where you couldn’t scroll to the bottom of your note In a reasonable amount of time, I forgot what the reason was but overall the thing seems like typical FOSS dog shit where the…
Joplin in the past was kinda awful but I have to say that recently it has been really very good, well put together and runs well, not had any issues in maybe a year or more, my only gripe is the encryption is a bit all or nothing , but I’m sure that’ll improve in time too, i can recommend Joplin, still in use on my machines.
