siavosh, this looks great - I think this would be super useful for a team (especially with slack integration), are you or will you be looking for beta testers for a corporate solution?

Believe it or not, the online world doesn't revolve around California or the European Union. One of the best "features" of the internet is that it is jurisdictionally grey. Otherwise, why not just subject the entire world to the stringent requirements of China?
While it's true that it may not be a legal requirement (in some jurisdictions) to post a privacy policy, it's probably not a good idea to trust a service without one, particularly if said service is designed for posting potentially private personal information. In other words: They should post a privacy policy - not because it's a legal requirement (though it may be) - but because it's good business. And no one will…
I can summarize 95% of privacy policies right here:
* We won't sell your info (directly)
* We "may" provide your info to third parties based on ill-defined criterion
* We can change this at any time without telling you first
* If we get bought (which is likely), this is all rendered invalid
* If we break our word here, your recourse is precisely jackRe: Show HN: FAQT – A lightweight, personal knowledge base

evernote kind of apps don't work. Except Google Keep. Keep kinda works.
Don't get too attached. Keep is being discontinued in the next few months. Something better is replacing it, eventually, but just keep that in mind.

#74Sounds 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…
Unless you're intending to put pdf's on your intranet, seems like org-mode's export to html would be better suited to what you want. You may also want to check the org-mode support for Jekyll, the ruby-based static-html blog engine.

http://www.faqt.co/terms-of-service.html may be enough?
Nope. Has to be linked from the homepage, among other requirements. http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=bpc&group=...

#77Another "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?
If no one ever re-invented the wheel our cars would still be rolling on stone wheels.

edit: you could probably make it a git directory and have a daemon watching that folder for changes and when changes happen you could have it commit that. just a thought.

Cars never rolled on stone wheels. Flintstones was a cartoon, not a documentary.
