  1. edna

    Note taking for developers and power users

    I've built a web-based tool for myself that has similar philosophy: https://edna.arslexis.io/

    It does support multiple pages but you can use just one.

    It has a nifty feature in that you can divide the single file into virtual parts. They just have alternate backgrounds to tell them apart. And each virtual part can have a type for syntax highlighting (plain text, markdown or a programming language).

    I've been using it for a few months now and it's my primary note taking / knowledge recording thing.

    Even though it's web based, on Chrome you can save notes on disk so it works like a desktop app.

    Each note is a plain text file so you can edit them in any text editor.

    If you put notes on a shared drive (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc.) you can work on notes on multiple computers.

    It's also open-source: https://github.com/kjk/edna

  3. heynote

    A dedicated scratchpad for developers

    Looking at the GitHub repo[0], I don't see why you wouldn't be able to host it yourself (extra configuration may be required). In the package.json, there is a script for running the web app `npm run webapp:build`, so I'd assume you could do that and then host the built web app however you'd like.

  4. breckyunits.com

    Breck's Blog

    You are right, that is not clear. I've added a note and link (https://github.com/breck7/breckyunits.com/commit/61792237c0b...)

    "The M1 laptop was the first consumer machine I tried where the performance of this system wasn't abysmal." - https://breckyunits.com/building-a-treebase-with-6.5-million...

    Thank you!

  5. pldb

    PLDB: a Programming Language DataBase

    You might enjoy https://pldb.io/, which is a paywall free, open source, public domain, database you can browse completely locally, with information on all of these kinds of prior languages.

    :)

  6. TiddlyWiki

    A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc.

    If we forego human read-write-ability to gain some interactivity, we got https://tiddlywiki.com/ , a single long html file

  7. silverbullet

    An open source personal productivity platform built on Markdown, turbo charged with the scripting power of Lua

    Yes, Codemirror.

    What I know about Codemirror I mostly learned by reading other people's code so I suggest that.

    Specifically code of silverbullet: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/tree/main/web... (and a few other directories there).

    It implements very advanced Markdown mode, lots of code to learn from.

  8. particles.scroll.pub

    Particle Syntax Website

    In case you would like to be less (or more) confused, this is an application of Tree Notation, by the same author https://treenotation.org/

    I suffer from the same flaw as the author, a tendency towards grandiosity and fervor in describing my good ideas. So I'm in a good position to advise that he knock it off: people don't like that, and it will keep them from using your stuff even if it's good.

    Which it might be, actually. The extreme simplicity of the foundation is laudable.
