That's a really great idea. I'll have to work on setting that up.

#4> I love Evernote, but I no longer trust my data to cloud providers.
Give https://turtl.it a shot as well. Aims to solve this very problem: Evernote with data privacy. (Disclaimer, I built it. Disclaimer2: not nearly as advanced as Evernote).
That said, Magpie looks really cool.

#5It would be lovely to have this running on top of Camlistore, rather than git. A little more automatic, linkable, etc.

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. The problem is not the client, that's just a UI/UX issue that's never going to be resolved because, hey, I hate what you like and vice-versa.
Can someone please create a more reliable back-end so we can stop saying things like "I hate cloud providers"? I hate them, too, but I'm not going to redesign the part where the problem ain't.

I'm not familiar with Camlistore, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's backed by a git repo. I didn't read anywhere on there that it stores the repo on github.

Magpie source is hosted on Github, because it's open source - it's public. There is no requirement that the git repo you use to store your data be on Github. The git repo for Magpie and the git repo for the data you access through Magpie are not intended to be the same.

I was editing the note about "farts" trying to add a list of foods that cause excessive flatulence (to test markdown support of lists, of course), but after submitting my edit, I was getting 503 errors for a short period of time.
after a few more minutes, things seem fine
edit: it seems that someone was able to remove my hard work and valuable information. Given that this is based on git, is there any way to revert or view previous versions of notes?
