notesutils VS quickadd

I should write this stuff up, but I haven't.

I do have some brief notes on the "Notes.app" format here:

But I didn't discuss my methodology -- Generic decoding of protobuf, building up a schema as you go -- the tricky part there is that a byte array and a substructure look the same, so you have to try to decode it, and if successful, try that schema on the next example.

Here is another fun technique - scanning through a disassembly of an Apple framework looking for assembly patterns that match the protobuf compiler output (this was dependent on which language was targeted by protobuf):

So you find the serializer / deserializer code and figure out what the original protbuf spec looked like.

there's a much better way providing simplicity with full data ownership and real tasks out of the box in daily documents https://acreom.com

the premise of this article is false. acreom [1] is VC backed, and doesn’t implement any of the mentioned practices. No price subsidising (quite the opposite), no pressure to create lock-in or monetize user data etc. There’s nothing wrong with being VC backed given the expectations between investors, the team and users are aligned.

Hello HN! Maker of Keycheck.dev here.

Keycheck is an open-source web app that lets you quickly find consistent and conflict-free shortcuts for your app. Currently featuring over 100 apps, and 1400 shortcuts.

When designing keyboard shortcuts for our main app - acreom (https://acreom.com/), we wanted to create a great keyboard user experience. This involves designing shortcuts which are easy to hit, easy to remember, and do not clash with the system shortcuts. We have learned that there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel and it’s easier to follow conventions from other popular apps to achieve this. Finding this out, however, was frustrating, and involved lots of manual work of downloading and signing in to other apps.

We decided to solve this problem and open-source our solution to help other makers in the process of designing shortcuts. You can match any key combination against combinations of other apps, search shortcuts by their keybinds, descriptions, or by app, and explore the apps and see their shortcuts. Feel free to play around and explore all the possibilities.

The code is fully open-sourced (https://github.com/Acreom/keycheck) and contributions are welcome! If you are a maker, feel free add your app to help other makers and increase visibility for your own project.

Looking forward to the feedback!

with the steep learning curve of setting it up followed by the never ending UX complexities emacs seems like it's for people who get satisfaction of spending time setting things up rather than being effective. A modern alternative of this is Notion.

On the contrary, for people who care about getting stuff done with a capture-first organize-later interface that works out of the box like an iPhone, options are limited.

for the curious ones I'm building one myself https://acreom.com
