Been using simplenote for some time. Goal was to have just unobtrusive text notes, accessible via phone apps and browser, free, that allowed nesting bullet points (I write a lot of notes primarily using bullets) Simplenote.com has been great for all of these usecases.

#92Hi Friends, I'm the author of GitNoter. I'd love to answer any questions you have
A few more features IMO would be nice: (fuzzy) search; task management; math formula support; or just expose API for such development would be great as well.

It looks clean and super good! Considering moving from Obsidian as it gets more refined. A few more features IMO would be nice: (fuzzy) search; task management; math formula support; or just expose API for such development would be great as well.

#95It's kind of amusing everyone here is talking about Evernote being amazing for dropping attachments and everything and I use it simply for text/links and hate that it wants to do all that extra stuff. :)
exactly. most of the users just use it for text notes.

#97Does it store images? Are you going to make a mobile app?
You can add the images inside markdown using existing image url. The image upload is not implemented yet. I've noted it & I'll work on this functionality Thanks for showing interest in the mobile app. I'm working on the android app prototype. You will see the app on play store soon.

#98Earlier quoted context omitted.
yeah I agree. This is really the knowledge management tool
When I presented Obsidian to a friend, and he told me that it was just a note-taking app, I was quite shocked by [what I consider to be] such a lack of consideration. Because I really use Obsidian as my second memory [marketing definitely worked on me, it seems :)]. Anyway... I have never used EverNote (==note taking?). And, as you have read, I am reaaaaally in Obsidian (==knowledge management?). Can any of you elabo…

#99I feel compelled to mention that Zotero [1] has been around for ages, has clients for most platforms, it's as FLOSS as it gets[2], and you are free to self-host if that's something you'd like. [1] https://www.zotero.org/ [2] https://github.com/zotero
It is a great tool. I do wish I could self host, though, and I wish the db were just an index of md files (and maybe json for bibliographic details).
