I'd love some screenshots in the docs.

#22Be careful with the demo! I noticed somebody creating "notes" w/ XSS (albeit just an alert) while I was playing with it.
Definitely. I just embedded autoplaying youtube videos:

#23It doesn't resolve your fear of cloud providers, but Simplenote ( http://simplenote.com/ ) is an awesome, simple Evernote replacer. Especially is you trust the folks at Automattic!
Simplenote looks great. Any idea how they make money? On their front page, it says "Backups, syncing, sharing — it’s all completely free."
Re: Magpie – Git-backed Evernote replacement
#24I use GitHub's gollum [1] git-based markdown-supporting Wiki for pretty much this. It's easy to add a basic username / password protection. I run it on a Digital Ocean instance that had some capacity left over and have a cronjob push to a private bitbucket repo every 30 minutes for backup. I don't have to create notebooks and can use GitHub-flavored markdown (or other any syntax gollum supports).
That said, I like basic idea of extending magpie with a PDF scraper and email. Maybe it would spare some energy to fork gollum and add extension to it to make it more Evernote-like?

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
So, the Magpie creator no longer trusts cloud providers, yet the software stores data on github. You know that record scratch sound? I think I just heard that. Yes, I know one could configure one's own github repo and make it accessible, etc. I know that cloud storage is about as reliable as that shaky cousin who's always borrowing "a few bucks for beer, man." It seems like everyone is attacking the wrong problem. Th…
It's backed by a git repo. I didn't read anywhere on there that it stores the repo on github.
just a small question here but essentially it would only a local repo? i don't know too much about git but if you don't store it on the cloud, how would you transfer it from computer A to B? (using a repo and not copying folders over)
Re: Magpie – Git-backed Evernote replacement
#28I mostly use Evernote for clipping webpages for later reference (images, pdfs etc). I still haven't found quite an easy to use replacement. Most of the evernote replacements seem to concentrate only on text/lists.

#29Seems "Magpie" is a common name for Git-related projects: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7378345

It started as Simplenote, but was acquired (methinks) by Automattic (WordPress) at some point, and the underlying tech was turned into https://simperium.com
