StackNotes

Trying https://www.stacknotes.io/sign_up results in a certificate error, stating that their cert was issued for *.herokuapp.com. :-(

Few idea's:

- Add social logins via Github

- Github repo integration, so you can add notes per repo as well as down to the file level if you wish.

- Pull in gists. I'd rather store code in gists then use this tool to help organize them with tags/labels, etc.

So I used a hack to create an easy 'note' solution adding this to my .zshrc:

n() { # $EDITOR ~/.mynotes/"$".md open ~/.mynotes/"$".md }

nls() { ls -c ~/.mynotes/ | grep "$*" }

Then I just "mkdir ~/.mynotes". I keep mostly 'rake' and 'rails' commands and a short explanation in 'md' format. It works like a charm because most of the times, I just open the note and leave it open using MacDown (an MD editor with preview mode) + it can be synced via Dropbox and you could even add encryption if you wanted too. But I'm not sure it would work for teams, while StackNotes apparently seems to me extremely well suited for teams.

Good luck with everything!

I'd like to commit to it, but seeing that you might suddenly add a pricing tier (which might be imcompatible with our needs) adds a psychological barrier.

Perhaps you can add a pricing so I know it will

a) be sustainable b) know how much to expect to pay

Suggestion: Make the description field for notes optional. I think in most cases the title should be pretty much self explanatory (for me at least)

Question: Is there any kind of server-side encryption? Just to keep eventually sensitive notes secret in case of a server breach? Better yet, some kind of client-side encryption would be good on a folder level. Everything should then get encrypted/decrypted on client side (yes I got really paranoid during the last months, and I'm not putting anything that is even remotely sensitive on any server that I have no control of.)

I guess some people might use this to document their server/network infrastructure, and (god beware) they might even put sensitive passwords there. Maybe you could sell then this kind of encryption as a "pro" feature ;)

Syntax highlighting, markdown plugins, stored locally and a mature polished product.

If it's primarily targetted for (learning) developers, it'd better have some specialized, dedicated features - eg. easy management of code excerpts, with syntax highlighting etc.

Regarding the UX, I also can't grasp why the dashboard seems to fetishize statistics so much. "Average Daily Notes", "Notes Breakdown" (and the pie chart), why on Earth would I care?

More specifically, my question is why I should use StackNotes instead of an emacs org-mode file stored in a git repository?

The "Relevant to" dropdown should be sorted alphabetically, and in my opinion, default to "General".

I also don't see why description shouldn't be allowed to be left blank.

I added a tag to a note, but if I search for that tag, there are no results.

I think "favourite notes" and "favourite folders" should be given higher priority than the rather meaningless statistics on the dashboard.

1. Preview markdown result (get inspiration from GitHub).

2. Where do I add more "relevant to"? The ones you have are grossly inadequate. Possibly just make that a text field.

3. Use a code editor for the markdown editor, or even just change the font to monospace for now.

We have a 3 people dev team and are usually squandering around finding some function that we previously wrote but did not document. Going to go ahead and register and start using this.

Is this going to be free ?
