notesnook VS app

The home page title has the word zero knowledge, I guess?

Their GitHub has slightly more info regarding this, but I agree that stuff like this should have at least a page dedicated for it that explains how they've implemented their security.

> Notesnook is a free (as in speech) & open-source note-taking app focused on user privacy & ease of use. To ensure zero knowledge principles, Notesnook encrypts everything on your device using XChaCha20-Poly1305 & Argon2.

Notesnook - Just like EN but Private and Secure

For the last few days I have not been able to log in my account. When I visit via my browser (Chrome) the URL notesnook.com then click on Login top right, it re-directs to the page https://app.notesnook.com/sessionexpired

Notesnook - Private notes app (version 1050634): A fully open source & end-to-end encrypted note taking app

or Notesnook[1], which is also open-source, and E2E. I find it better and more reliable than SN.

We have been using Tiptap in production for more than a year in Notesnook[0]. Glad to see it finally launching here on HN!

We have had quite a long and rough ride in search of a stable rich text editor. We began with Quill.js then migrated to TinyMCE and then finally settled on Prosemirror. Unfortunately, contenteditable is still absolutely horrible on web browsers, especially mobile ones.

Tiptap is a good choice if you are looking for a framework agnostic and thin abstraction over Prosemirror. However, if you are primarily working with React you should go with Remirror[1]. Tiptap's APIs are heavily inspired by Remirror (almost a duplicate in some places). Remirror takes the edge on the maturity and stability of the API and extensions. The sheer number of utilities offered by them to simplify Prosemirror's APIs is astounding.

In the end, though, its Prosemirror that's doing all the heavy lifting. And no matter how many abstractions you put on it, you will have to get really, really close in with Prosemirror's internals. Tiptap or Remirror do not make that any easier or harder aside from the initial bootstrapping.

Perhaps poster was thinking of https://notesnook.com?

Their pitch is as a privacy focused notes manager.

Even though Evernote is a competitor, it's still sad to see such a giant in the note-taking space go down so badly. Of course, I am still skeptical about this news and whether its actually true since no source has been linked.

Aside:

I work (and lead the development) on Notesnook, an end-to-end encrypted, open source alternative to Evernote. Since we are based in Pakistan, our pricing has been really competitive at just $4.49/mo (compared to $17.99/mo of Evernote). And best of all, we have one of the best Evernote Importers around: https://importer.notesnook.com/

Feel free to ask me any and all questions!

this certainly could be useful for me personally, but it would need more functionality. I think the _full_ project could be very useful though. however i would ask, how is this different from e.g. https://standardnotes.com/ and other note systems available ?

Take a look at DevonThink or Standard Notes

Standard Notes - Fully Private and Secure with Multiple different Editors and Backup options including Self hosting.

I've been using Standard Notes'[0] free tier for a while now without issues. Far superior to Evernote. And apparently EN uses your data for machine learning so they can monetize their free users. Standard operating procedure.
