writedown VS MagLit

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing here.

A while ago, I was making something exactly like this called Writedown: https://writedown.app

It was a free and open source Notion alternative.

I had to leave it midway because my other projects needed attention but maybe I'll get back to it someday :)

I'm using Tiptap on writedown (https://writedown.app)

I really like it. The documentation on extensions is a bit lacking but understandable.

One thing I don't really like is the price increase as you got funding. I thought the plans would be cheaper, not 5-7x more expensive post-funding.

It said in the title it was open source. The code is here :

The link was on the front page of the submitted page.

I'm building projects to learn new stacks and architectures.

Currently working on Writedown: https://writedown.app - https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown

I wanted to create a note writing app that supports markdown and has sharing capabilities. I usually use a Telegram private channel for saving stuff and writing notes, but Telegram doesn't really support Markdown so I thought it would be a good idea to create something like that.

Writedown is currently a WIP and I'm building in public (doing nothing special, just the repo is public haha)

On the privacy front, we're never going to compromise the user data, never going to sell it, never going to share it with anybody else. We'll be making writedown self-hostable as well.

On the security front, we're using firebase firestore as the database. So at rest, it's well encrypted.

We're thinking of introducing some sort of encryption via passwords (kinda how I already am doing it on https://maglit.me). E2EE would be quite difficult and would affect the usability.

maglit.me, can use custom links and is privacy respecting

jesus christ use https://maglit.me/ so your link will not be so fucking fat.

There are many services that offer such a functionality. Just search for "password protected link shortener". One example would be https://maglit.me/ by u/NayamAmarshe (I haven't tried it, I only read this post). However if you care for privacy (kind of the point of the whole post) and you have a web server you might want to selfhost the service (has a lot of other advantages as well, link all the easy to remember keywords are still available), which gives you even more options: like again MagLit or YOURLS with the Password Protection Plugin. (disclaimer: I am using a self hosted YOURLS instance myself, but have not used this plugin yet).
