Ask HN: How do you store your knowledge?
It's not perfect, but I use https://simplenote.com/
Someday I will build my own clone of Simplenote/Notational Velocity/Taskpaper/Drafts/Bkmks.com...
1. From mobile browser, share to Simplenote adds a new note with title + url.
2. Not often.
3. Not often.
4. Also Simplenote. Also used Notational Velocity: one note per JIRA ticket.
5. I wish Simplenote's tagging system were better (more like TaskPaper)
- I wish it were simple to add (markdown) images like Github.
- Also Simplenote added some features that get in the way (I just want to type `[`, but Simple note opens this inter-note linking interface)
- Notational Velocity supported rich text, but I just wanted everything in plaintext, especially when pasting information into a note.

NvAlt: MultiMarkdown Notational Velocity fork with Markdown editing and preview
Note nvUltra, the successor to this program, has been in development/private beta for several years[1,2].
I've been meaning to make my own web-based version of Notational Velocity that adds a few novel features of my own. (Plus inspiration from apps like TaskPaper and Drafts)
There are a lot of Notational Velocity clones; currently my favorite is: https://simplenote.com/

Ask HN: Apple Notes has jumped the shark, what should I replace it with?
I'm still happy with Apple Notes for its integration with all of Apple Apps, easy sharing with family members, etc. I have tamed it more as an ephemeral and quick Notes App. The notes that starts there are usually transferred to a more permanent and organized Plain-Text setup[1] (currently guardian-ed by Obsidian).
If I had to replace Apple Notes, I'd look at either one of these;

- https://bear.app
- https://www.craft.do

Best free cross-platform note taking app?
In the past I used the beautiful Zoho Notes. It's good but I experienced sync issues sometimes. OneNote is good but I hate the UI. StandardNotes is nice, but very expensive once you want the paid features. SimpleNote OK too, but too basic imo.
-
Best Writing Apps?
I've used Simplenote for years. Clutter free, distraction free, and actually free - it works in a browser and my phone so I can write on any device, anywhere, online or when I'm intentionally disconnected.
- A free, modern "revamp" of microsoft word.
-
Best note taking app that works offline and online and works seamlessly between Mac and Android?
I think Simplenote could be what you’re looking for.

UX Case Study: Markdown Heading

Why single vendor is the new proprietary
> why does open source need to "win"
Open source does not need to win.
But your ability to be in control of your computer needs to be preserved. A proprietary fridge cannot control your diet, while a proprietary App Store can control what software you install on YOUR phone (unless you live in EU, hello DMA!). The tail wags the dog, so to speak. Proprietary software has also been shown to break user workflows or remove functions in an update while leaving users with no choice whatsoever.
One alternative to having open source win is to ensure software must come with a robust warranty and other assurances you expect from the things you buy. EU's CRA will make software vulnerabilities in WiFi routers covered by warranty, for example.
You can also ensure robust and interoperable data storage options. For example, https://obsidian.md/ stores all notes in Markdown, not holding the data hostage in case users will not like how future versions will work. GDPR actually has a provision for data portability (Art. 20), but it does not seem to have a requisite effect on the industry yet.
And until the above issues are solved, open source remains the best way to ensure that a software tail cannot wag your computer dog.

Replatforming from Gatsby to Zola!
So I've had my fair share of personal websites and blogs. I have built them on stacks ranging from the most basic HTML and CSS, to hosted frameworks like Wordpress and Laravel, to the more modern single page applications built in Vue and React. For a simple content blog I think you can't go wrong with a Static Site Generator though. These days I am almost exclusively writing everything in Obsidian. Which is great because its all in standard markdown format. This allows for a really neat and easy content publishing workflow.

Where Is Noether's Principle in Machine Learning?
Thank you!
In the beginning, I used kognise'z water.css [1], so most of the smart decisions (background/text color, margins, line spacing I think) probably come from there. Since then it's been some amount of little adjustments. The font is by Jean François Porchez, called Le Monde Livre Classic [2].
I draft in Obsidian [3] and build the site with a couple python scripts and KaTeX.
