That's a really great idea. I'll have to work on setting that up.

edit: here is a demo: http://magpie.sknkwrks.net/

I was editing the note about "farts" trying to add a list of foods that cause excessive flatulence (to test markdown support of lists, of course), but after submitting my edit, I was getting 503 errors for a short period of time.

after a few more minutes, things seem fine

edit: it seems that someone was able to remove my hard work and valuable information. Given that this is based on git, is there any way to revert or view previous versions of notes?

This post is getting more traction than I anticipated, and Magpie was not intended to have more than one user at a time.

By the way, it looks there's a security issue - it's possible to search and view all the notes without being logged in.

Edit: also it's listing all the files in the .git folder. I guess it should be excluded from the searches.
