I really like the considerate cookie prompt and clean design.<p>I want a product like this that syncs to the cloud file system of my choice for both portability and ease to edit on my desktop.<p>I would try this product but don’t want the mental friction of yet another blob of my data that’s in some proprietary store. Even if they are cool, like this seems, and will export/import.<p>A good example of this is ynab back in the day where they just had a file protocol on top of dropbox. And Moneydance still does this.<p>I’m paying for data storage and am steady comfortable with the the encryption, privacy, etc. if all this needs to do is store and organize markdown, then that should be done on a file base.<p>I need every note I write to exist forever. I’m cool dragging a folder around my whole life. I don’t want to drag around 100 companies.
Hey Hacker News, I'm one of the (two) co-founders of Supernotes, a PKM where your knowledge is stored as taggable, linkable and nestable note-cards. A bit like a zettelkasten system for the digital age.<p>We recently did a major overhaul of how sharing works on Supernotes [1], and added ability to share / embed your note-cards around the web like tweets. With no strict character limit, the ability to edit and full markdown + LaTeX maths support; Supernotes cards are a lot more flexible. Some great examples include reusable checklists, highlighted code snippets and interactive study cards; see them in action here [2]<p>A bit of background. We came up with the idea for Supernotes while at university a few years ago, while being frustrated with a mess of folders and long-form docs that were a pain to share and collaborate on. We found that storing everything on note-cards made it a lot simpler to link thoughts, ideas and knowledge together. Everything, from the design to the code of Supernotes has been built by just the two of us.<p>We'd love for you try out Supernotes (all our features are available for free), and hear what you think. Also feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to answer them!<p>[1]: <a href="https://supernotes.app/changelog" rel="nofollow">https://supernotes.app/changelog</a>

I keep seeing notes / zettelkasten / second brain projects posted on HN. But for the HN audience, are any of these satisfying?<p>As a person who builds software, a decent chunk of the content I would like to gather in a second brain or zettelkasten system is about code (in multiple languages). But the systems I see popping up here are 95% text focused. They typically let you write code snippets, but to run them, or see anything about how they interact, you have to copy them somewhere else and create a suitable environment in which to run them.<p>The best solution I've managed to set up so far is emacs org-roam set up alongside a set of toy projects, where note files can link to specific lines (it's brittle) in files in those toy projects. I found org-babel too cumbersome to configure, and too hard to deal with code snippets that depend on libraries.<p>But I hope someone builds something like a zettlekasten + repl.it mashup which removes the setup burden, such that it can be fast and easy to take notes which include a snippet of code from a paper, without having to stop to create a project with a list of dependencies, a build script, etc.
I've been using this with the Zettelkasten[0] method for a few months and love it. The keyboard shortcuts are really powerful and the UI is great.<p>[0] - <a href="https://zettelkasten.de/" rel="nofollow">https://zettelkasten.de/</a>
There's a lot of Synology NAS users who use DS Note (the Synology solution), which is functionally fine, but the UX is poor. If I could use Supernotes as just a client, but use my own hosting, it'd be excellent.<p>Is there a way I could use Supernote with my own data? Eg if I have markdown files on my ftp / webdav or other, could I load them in Supernotes? Could I export the .md to ftp or other?<p>PS: what did you use to create your community site? I like the solution. Is it Discuss?
Looks like a fancy version of a wiki. Ward would be pleased.<p>I'm worried about the "drop a note-card" on websites I visit, sounds like some Google / Amazon level tracking going on, why do I feel I'm ( my data ) about to be monetized?
Looks really nice.<p>I guess I'm staying with Joplin synced to nextcloud myself after burning myself once or twice and seeing others being burned again and again by hosted services but I think there is absolutely is room for your product.
As an avid past user of Google Notebook, this really takes me back. Feels very familiar. Makes you wonder again why Google shuttered the project or why they replaced it with something like Keep.
Are you people working on a bulk data export anytime soon? It's not a feature you use right away, but it's what allows confidence to sink your time in a platform.
This is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. It's not an <i>absolute</i> necessity, but mobile apps would basically make this an instant buy for me.
I use google Keep notes all the time because it syncs and has a fast UI with just the right amount of features, gonna give this a try see how it stacks!
