Nash, I made a standalone note with single HTML file

Hello HN, I hope it will posted as well. I made a note in single html file. This does not require a separate membership or installation of the software, and if you download and modify an empty file, you can modify and read it at any time, regardless of online or offline. It can be shared through messengers such as Telegram, so it is also suitable to share contents with long articles and images. It is also possible to host and blog because it is static html file content.

Nash, I made a standalone note with single HTML file launched on March 14, 2025 with 536 votes, #40 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

Nash is a standalone note-taking tool contained in a single HTML file that requires no installation or account creation. Users can download the file, edit it locally, and access their notes online or offline. The self-contained format makes it easy to share via messaging apps and suitable for storing articles and images. Because it's a static HTML file, it can also be hosted as a blog or website.

    Thank you for your comments, just some context: - The app is available for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and the Web. - The Web version is implemented as a Progressive Web Application that is very responsive, local first, offline first, can be installed, and is entirely free to use. - Native (hybrid) versions do not require subscription fees and have small one-time payment. - You can store your notes in Git using any Git provider such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. However, it has the best built-in integration with GitHub. Self-hosted scenarios like Gitea are also…

    You simply: 1. Connect your device. 2. Create a top-level `handwritten.blog` folder. 3. Every new notebook in that folder becomes a draft on https://handwritten.blog/ I hope this eventually obviates the need to look at the ugly upload interface you have to use to now upload your writing.
