I'd be much more interested if it was a mobile app.I already have native git client and text writing application on my desktop, I don't need a web page trying to replace both. However, a simple to use mobile client with first-class git workflow support is missing.

The number one priority in a notes syncing app for me is E2E encryption[1]. Even with a private git repo, you're still most likely storing your plaintext notes on a third-party server. I wish there were more options satisfying this requirement.[1] Even if you currently have no "out of line" ideas, it's very damaging to creativity to let a medium requiring self-censorship become a part of your thought process, as notes can be. The default for notes should be as private as possible.

If folks want to use a GitHub repo for note taking, you can also try GitHub.dev, which gives you the power of VS Code, to edit repos entirely from the browser. Since VS Code has a prolific ecosystem, you can enhance and augment your note taking workflow via extensions (themes, keybinding, productivity enhancements, etc.), which makes it a pretty nice experience: <a href="https://twitter.com/lostintangent/status/1429483662257446916?s=21" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/lostintangent/status/1429483662257446916...</a>.

> What if I cancel my subscription?> [...] You will no longer be able to access our suite of apps.The try button seems to take you to a working version of the app, is the intention to make this paid at some point later?I don't mind paying but I object to those applications that make it appear like they're free and then once you've started using them ask you for payment on the basis you were only on a "premium trial" when you start.

This seems very familiar to a bash application I created that follows the zettelkasten note taking method. The source can be found here <a href="https://github.com/AndrewCopeland/zettelkasten" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/AndrewCopeland/zettelkasten</a>Each note is saved as a markdown file in GitHub and can be searched and linked easily from the zk cli.

> What if I cancel my subscription?I'm not sure you can charge people for what amounts to a <textarea> that makes a git commit. Seems like you're sharing this a bit early, since there's only one app despite the FAQ sounding like there's a whole ecosystem.

I didn’t get a penny about the project. I know what git is, of course. And I do store my notes in my git repository, in markdown format. I use vim on my Linux machine and Markor on my Android phone. But again: what is this project about?

I use GitJournal on Android for this - it's nothing fancy, just let's me write markdown notes and store/organise/search them in a private GitHub repo, but that's exactly what I wanted.

I like this idea, though i don't like that subfolders are displayed in the folder they are a part ofAs well as while i like .txt, i can't embed images and links and for me that's a requirement sadly. Though i like the idea for purely text only note takingA recommendation; I would think that those who this format would work really well for should have the ability to reference an image or video and have that as a "hidden" uploaded item (so that you could choose from the list of items in that folder) and have it referenced from that document

I have been using the Joplin (<a href="https://joplinapp.org/" rel="nofollow">https://joplinapp.org/</a>) note taking app for a while now. I like it so far. Not stored in git, though.

Joplin is pretty cool, back filling that to git must not be super complicated…

Seems like a simpler version of TiddlyWiki¹, which is free.It might worth a try for those who prefer less features[1]: <a href="https://tiddlywiki.com/" rel="nofollow">https://tiddlywiki.com/</a>

Any reason to use git over a regular file hosting service like Dropbox? It seems it would be more or less equivalent and on top of that you'll easily get mobile support.

not a whole lot of info about the note-taking functionality of your app.I've been evangelizing apps like Obsidian, Logseq, and Foam these days because note-taking has been evolving quite a bit with different PKMS methodologies and the whole zettelkasten movement (that's a bit of a rabbit hole though).plain text markdown is imo the place to be.

to the maker: UX pet peeve - forms that dont submit when i hit enter. in this case, the "create note" form.
