For those who are wondering how the styling looks, I signed up and copy-pasted a markdown sample here: https://app.faqt.co/share/k6hs7l This looks pretty cool. I think I'l be using this from now on. Features I'd like to see in the future: - custom domain (esp for teams, which I see is in the works) - Revision History - Exports/Backups - Searching - Raw markdown support. I often like to copy markdown from places, and…

This is helpful, thanks for sharing. We've struggled with where to integrate with first as most integrations I've seen have been gratuitous, but #slack is a solid possibility. Curious about the API support, how would you use it?

Another "write your text here" and nothing more app. I'm not questioning the usefulness of this, but why do we have so many simple apps like these? People writing code to do the same thing over and over again, aren't you bored?

Because people have slightly differing taste and opinion about how such an app should work and what it should look like. And because it has a relatively clear scope, many people actually build them.

While I do have a _drafts directory for my blog under version control, editing it locally is a pain. What I'd like to do:

- write the blog post drafts under a `Drafts` category at faqt - Run a script that fetches all drafts and commits them in my drafts repo when I run it

That way, my repo stays updated, and I don't have to worry about copying-pasting updates there. I could even write a "publish-from-faqt-to-blog" script that detects a category change from "Drafts" to "Published" and handles that for me.

Would you be considering front-matter yaml support. If you add that, tagging+searching things would become so much better. (Every doc gets its own set of properties).

Also, if you give us an API, we can make more integrations ourselves. That is one of the main reasons behind Slack's success.

Sounds interesting ! And quite funny since I was looking for something similar last week (and didn't find anything really fitting what I want). A couple of questions : - do you have any kind of versioning/revision history ? Especially on the individuals "facts" - do you have a search function ? How does it work ? - Any kind of tagging system apart from the color code ? - any way to export the raw data ? - any plan of…

> Anyone else @HN that knows of something similar ? (apart from evernote) I'm currently experimenting with Emacs org-mode, Microsoft OneNote and a personal MediaWiki install on localhost. My observations so far: - Emacs org-mode : (+) integrated power of my Emacs setup, (+) great key bindings, (+) based on text files, (-) difficult to learn, (-) no fancy UI, drag-n-drop - Microsoft OneNote : (+) nice UI, (+) good mou…

Have you tried Tiddliwiki? (http://tiddlywiki.com/), single file wiki, used it for a few years is fantastic

The only problem is that Google dont keep services alive.
