I wanted to see how far I could go building a notes app using only what modern browsers already provide – no frameworks, no storage APIs, no build step. What it does: Single HTML file, no deps, 111 loc Notes live in the URL hash (shareable links!) Auto-compressed with CompressionStream Plain-text editor (contenteditable) History support Page title from first # heading Respects light/dark mode No storage, cookies, or tracking The entire app is the page source. https://textarea.my/

I've implemented a small web app — (a hassle-free hosting for markdown pages) entirely in Clojure and here is what I think: http://notehub.org/2012/6/16/how-notehub-is-built The app itself: http://notehub.org GitHub: http://github.com/chmllr/NoteHub

Hey Hacker News, We've been working on ways to save people time at work and we've got something for you to try that we think can do just that. Pensieve lets you search across silos from one safe, convenient place, and save and retrieve notes without disturbing your workflow. Check it out at https://www.pensieve.ai, or on Youtube at https://youtu.be/-lQLmVSRI6Q.

https://github.com/inoda/private_journal Built this to use myself, and I'm curious if anybody would be interested in using it. I'm also wondering if anybody has tips to make it more secure (I'm super super new to encryption and whatnot). The security is probably a bit overkill since chances are that nobody cares about what I'm journaling, but it is fun to implement from a code standpoint.

I made this tiny notepad website, to write things down in your browser. The Features - Just saves to your browser's localstorage (no cloud or login) - Export to TXT file - Formatting keyboard shortcuts - Works offline - Super fast The Tech - Single HTML file - 20 lines of JS + service worker (for offline usage) - Using pure CSS for modals - Github pages hosting - Basically it's just a "contenteditable div" with some extra features - Source -> https://github.com/benwinding/localnotes.page It's been done before, but I couldn't find a version I liked, that worked offline…

Hey HN, Along with a handful of friends, I've been working on a note taking platform for the last couple years. We created a 2 minute pitch of our platform, if you'd prefer to read, maybe you'd want to checkout our README: https://github.com/lockbook/lockbook. If you don't want to do either of those things I'll try to summarize some of our core values: - everything end to end encrypted - open formats: markdown and svg - strong offline support - everything open source - native apps where possible - rust where possible Some other stuff we're proud of: - we have a CLI which…

It's blowing my mind that I could build an app from scratch in 3 hours and deploy it with the click of a button - without writing a single line of code myself CacheNotes is a browser-based note-taking app that saves your notes, threads, and AI conversations securely in your browser's local storage 100% free. No login required. You get, - simple, minimal note taking app in your browser - no login required - you can connect your claude api key for the ai integration - visualise notes and twitter threads Check it out! Would love some feedback :)

Hi HN! I was recently on a sabbatical and wanted to checkout the advancements in the frontend space. I would love to show you all https://utiliti.dev! I often find myself resorting to online web-based utilities, especially for things like note sharing, or viewing JSON as a tree when my IDE isn't open. Having used a few tools in the past, I was never sure what those tools were doing so I ended up building something myself and open sourced it. Highlight: I really enjoyed building private notes, an easy and quick way to share something private over email that gets destroyed on read…

I've had issues saving bookmarks on my computer since my girlfriend always uses it. I'm talking about engagement ring related bookmarks, birthday plans related bookmarks, etc. My buddy and I built an extension called Hush that allows you to save them behind a password of your choosing. They're encrypted using SHA-256/AES, and you can export/import them to your liking (in case someone accidentally uninstalls the extension). It only operates in private browsing for security reasons. Check it out and let us know what you think! Chrome link:…
