A minimalist, self-hosted note-taking app based on Markdown files stored in S3/R2.

Self-hosted, markdown-based, and stored on S3/R2 bucket. No dependency hell, no vendor lock-in, no subscription, no database. Only the most essential features possible, say no to bloated app! The most universal and future-proof format. Easy to understand by human and liked by AI/LLM. # Grocery List - [x] Milk - [ ] 24 Eggs - [x] Bread ps: use coupon ||NYE2024|| register first supermarket.example Grocery List Milk 24 Eggs Bread ps: use coupon NYE2024 register first supermarket.example Deploy with Docker will be the easiest, but simple FTP upload to your ancient VPS is okay too.

    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…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
