Project mention: Do you guys use GitHub as a place to store basic scratchpad and one-liners? | reddit.com/r/PowerShell | 2021-10-20
For one liners and small snippets I uses a great open source app call Lepton which is a snippet manager that saves to your github accounts gists. They ate stored private by default, so its perfect to securely save and version small bits and pieces that don't fit into their own repository

Project mention: wreeto v3 coming soon - knowledge management revamped ! | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2021-07-16
As many of you might now already, wreeto has an open source and a SaaS instance. I've been working on both (they're separate repos with big differences). Last year, I decided to invest the 100% of my time to develop the SaaS instance of the project.

noteworthy
A rich text editor offering a very clean, distraction free environment 📝 ✍🏻 Written in React and powered by Draft.js ⚛️ 📚 (by guyariely)
Project mention: noteworthy, my first react project, was the first to many dead side-projects I started and never finished. Today, about 2 years later, I came back to it, refactored, fixed the bugs and finally got it to a working state. Link to the GitHub repo in the comments. | reddit.com/r/reactjs | 2021-04-23I used draft.js and worked around their editor component to create the overall editor (you can check out the code here https://github.com/guyariely/noteworthy)

Project mention: Launch HN: Athens Research (YC W21) – Open-Source Roam Research | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-02
Nice! I’m also developing a clone at https://github.com/cofinley/free-roam.
Done mainly to learn latest React/Redux. It’s coming along nicely. Also hosted on GitHub pages as a type of progressive web app (https://cofinley.github.io/free-roam). I love the idea of offline apps where you bring your own data. Kind of like the Beaker Browser.

Project mention: Show HN: Piece – Floating note-taking app for your temporary thoughts | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-22
Some backstory of Piece in case you are interested:
This was initially a rewrite of one of my side projects during college years ago. It was originally implemented with Electron (https://github.com/PolarisChen/Piece), resulting a more than 100M size for such a tiny app. At that time, Electron just came out, and I thought the best way to get to learn something is by making something with it, which I still find legit. Anyway, the code haven't been touched for a long time, even though I used the app personally every day.
Months ago, I finally got some free time and decided to review the app, and concluded easily to rewrite it with Swift. There were some obstacles during the rewrite (https://twitter.com/polchen_/status/1433704888366604292), but eventually I made it. I tweeted about some comparison in terms of UI/UX, app size, memory usage (https://twitter.com/polchen_/status/1429224010852626440).
But I wanna make it more than just a rewrite, so I added some features that I personally needed, and just posted it on Mac App Store as a freemium app.
You might notice I mentioned "personally" several times. It's true. I'm not quite confident whether others would have the same need. Personally (again), I found Piece really useful in my daily life/work, as I can quickly bring it up with a global shortcut and write down anything in my mind, ideas, to-dos, random thoughts, etc; or use it as a outline prompter when I write, present or talk, since it's always floating-on-top, and I can quickly press the same shortcut to hide it when I don't need it anymore. It's a note-taking app, but don't get me wrong, it's not to compete with those branding note-taking apps like Notion. It's just a tiny app. I think what Piece to other formal note-taking apps is more like what working memory to long-term memory.
There are some other features like paste-to-app, copy-to-piece, clean reminder, additional themes and highlight syntax. But I would leave for those who are interested to experience them with the app.
I have a lot of ideas for future development. I even think about making an iOS version. But for now, I think I just wanna verify it and see if there are users like me. Thanks for reading the story and using the app :-D

notesnook
A simple & easy to use private note-taking app that encrypts everything on the client side.
We have also adopted a much more efficient shipping timeline as can be noticed here: https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook/releases. Basically, we are now shipping on a weekly basis; this helps bring bug fixes and small features quickly.

Interesting idea. :) My side project is called SafeNotes(https://github.com/koderhut/safenotes) and it is a way to pass short notes, or credentials, securely for everyone. It is open-source and it has a very simple and elegant UI. Once you enter the notes and password the data is sent to the server already encrypted. And it stays on the server encrypted until it is being read or the timeout expires. I plan to add additional features, but I am open to ideas or contributions.

IndexDB is a solid choice for offline first/only. I went with RxDB for my own note-taking app; nvAux (https://github.com/matterofabstract/nvAux —work in progress, not functional yet) which wraps around PouchDB which then in turn has an adapter for IndexDB. It’s nice because you can chain adapters and optionally sync to another location (server, file system...), all invisible to the user.
