Show HN: My new free note taking tool So there are a lot of posts here about personal knowledge databases & note taking apps ... and methodologies. I wanted a way to keep track of info & just as importantly be able to easily see & edit that data from anywhere. I wanted it to be robust, free, web-based, able to host code examples as actual files (e.g. style.css or script.js), and host images. Turns out this is all available with Github & Gitlab. Step 1: Create a Private Repo Step 2: Hit the . key or use the editor URL pattern: https://github.dev// Step 3: Start using ... you can add sub-directories with Markdown for notes ... you can add all the file types above. For Gitlab just click "Web IDE" from your project's homepage. (I made this URL: https://github.dev// my homepage, making it super easy to access.) This is absolutely nothing new; but the epiphany I had a week or so ago but using a repo in this way seems to have really stuck (yes, a week is a short period of time but often a note app or approach sticks for a day or 2 for me). I'm really curious if others do something like this & what other sorts of practices they might employ while doing this. July 19, 2022 at 08:28AM
