git-sync VS notesnook

For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many iseful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

I’m using almost the same approach to automatically sync my vault between my devices (Git, Termux, Tasker). The main difference is, that I'm using the great git-sync script by Simon Thum for syncing. In the past I had some problems with a simple script that included only git pull, commit and push. With the git-sync script I now have less problems. Nevertheless you can't avoid to have conflicts if you or plugins edit the same files at the same time. I have documented my setup in this GitHub repository.

Before I came to macos I was using stow to keep all my dotfiles in one place. Then they were being copied nightly to a private github repo with git-sync which, as you know, is nice for versioning. I also had the central dotfile folder in a syncthing folder, so all my configs were always the same on any machine I used. If I update anything on one computer, it's changed on the other automatically. I also have a VPS that's participating, and somewhat acting as an always-on central sync server to keep everything recent.

I use vim and git with git-sync addon (I think it's this one: https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync). I don't care too much about mobile, but I also have configured vim via Termux on my Android phone.

I use git bare, it works great: syncs only the files I explicitly add, allows to place git repos as children of $HOME, and I get to sync changes with a single command: you can use an alias to rebase, commit and push or something like git-sync.

This is not enough if you want to update from multiple machines. Again u/blevlabs I really suggest you use something like https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync to do this, as it gracefully handles a lot of the corner cases that you might want to implement with something like this.

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/
