Show HN: CrushPaper – Open-Source Workflowy and Evernote for Writers, Students

Wow, you filled a huge gap I could not believe I couldn&#x27;t find a solution before, and I&#x27;ve searched.<p>All I ever wanted to do on my desktop is this:<p>1) Select some text on the screen 2) Have the text AND the URL to the source copied to one place, without me having to manually copy and paste the URL.<p>I am a huge fan of collecting random clippings from the web. Your app saves me just enough clicks to make it worth while.<p>Thank you for implementing Markdown export.<p>I suggest you add one feature: the ability to not have to confirm the save - frictionless saving. Just save everything to one default place, don&#x27;t have the app ask me anything.

This is nice, but the core keyboard shortcuts are (or so I find) painful and needlessly complex to use. :&#x2F;<p>A comparison:<p>Workflowy -&gt; CrushPaper<p>Enter -&gt; Alt+s<p>Enter -&gt; Alt+u&#x2F;b<p>Enter + Tab -&gt; Alt+c<p>This feels like it was designed to be used with a mouse and keyboard shortcuts inexpertly bolted on. :)<p>After that fix, this is a joy to use. :)

This whole area is very underserved in how people interact with their computers, glad to see people pushing at it.<p>You could do worse then really digging deep into emacs org-mode and learning it well.<p>It takes what you are doing to a much higher level but doesn&#x27;t exist on the web yet.<p>Also (as mentioned elsewhere) get yourself up here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;demo.sandstorm.io&#x2F;demo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;demo.sandstorm.io&#x2F;demo</a>

Very nice work! This feels like a great fit, product-wise, for Sandstorm. Have you looked at what that would entail?

Have you considered using a CalDAV server (e.g. SabreDAV) as a backend?

Not too relevant, but the background reminds me of Github 404 page.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;asdflkjsad" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;asdflkjsad</a>

Thanks for using the AGPL
