:) not sure i'll ever understand time.

I know taylor from high school and trust him. And know many that know Dianna. I would trust whatever support they get will go to good use. Also, taylor we going to 20 yr this summer? :| :) good to see you on this corner of the internet.

fair enough, not a comment with substance, but point was anything that doesn't lock you into components is a good thing. plain css is great. off the shelf ui components are boring.

one reason I love tailwind. literally design swapping classes until it looks decent.

I'd like to encrypt, but don't currently know the path to implementation and how it would or could work with ai features. I realize it's one of those key features that's a deal breaker for many, so depending on where this all goes I'll adjust as a priority.

I still put sensitive banking/health etc in apple notes lol. But I'm glad I at least seem honest! I am removing any admin views of note blocks so I can't even accidentally view anything, but every web person still knows it's possible with db access. Totally understand the need for guarantee. Thanks for checking it out.

Unrelated, just did a search and gmail just added end to end encryption last month!

Try it. I would think the same — but also Apple notes often blanks out when i open it on my iPhone se. I need to quit it and reopen fairly often.

Artifact of using textarea over content editable. No good way to modify formatting of textarea, so instead I made styles fit textarea. Not exactly ideal, just where I ended up.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Noted. I try to keep the actual notes a little higher contrast. I don’t want any interface hence the low contrast on those things. But obviously what I like not for everyone and I’ll will add more options!

Yeah definitely seeing how far I can push textarea! Not sure it’s smart and the one issue I haven’t solved is the block indents on editing. But it’s ok. Still have the occasional or semi frequent rendering error when tags interfere. Hoping to stay away from content editable and any complicated editors. I use js to measure the width of spaces to set up pre so the two layers line up.

Noted. I’d like to add some functionality through right click for removing or altering when ai gets things wrong. And drag and drop sorting of blocks.

Thanks, will prioritize this!

Noted. And not first time hearing that. I’ll add some more contrast customization and a light mode. Demo video was like, how do I explain this to my friends starter video. not ready for hn spotlight.

Thanks!!!

Wow, thanks for the encouragement! I currently load all notes ever created on the one page. At some point that might not scale, but for now Ctrl f must be fastest search right?? Haha.

Thanks! Don’t have time for any other way!

I don’t plan a whole lot, but whisper looks fun and all other open ai stuff has been smooth to integrate. So sure, that’s a plan! In the mean time, I’ve used apple dictation when driving a couple times.

I’ll have to learn to make one. But lots of other things first.

Epic, thanks. Tweet at me or email keizo at grugnotes.com any questions, feedback or thoughts. There are lots of problems, many I’m aware of. But you already pointed out a good one I didn’t know! Will investigate.

Love htmx — literally gave me modern day skills. Still haven’t figured out npm, webpack, and how to use any js that’s not standalone

It’s mostly a sever side rendered website, so no problems. As long as you’re good with that.

yesss, she's awesome. late nights help too. :)

so it pushes the text down the screen each day. grep also too advanced for me. need cmd-f. :)

Lol. No, he vacations in my town and bought a house like 100 yards from a studio I used to rent. I'm confident he'll buy some canoes from me at some point.

I'm not a big note taker at all either. I had a crazy covid, needed to manage a big project and 90 people over a few months. And found roam research invaluable in that process. More recently I got tired of the spinner on mobile so made this. Day to day, I use it to manage myself -- jotting down a few todo items daily. And as a personal crm, ie notes from phone calls and meetings. Basically a homepage to tell myself what to do.

appreciate kind words on the design (a process of tweaking tailwind classes til I'm not grumpy about it). at some point will get to more customization as others have mentioned things being hard to read.

*damn.

A few more additional thoughts while anyone is looking:

I hope to get a fake demo dataset made soon. It doesn't seem all that useful when you login with nothing there. Similarity search is pretty meaningless until you have things in there. And it's cool to get a sense of how notes can build over time to something useful. As a personal crm, I'm not sure what would be easier.

Also need to make a more detailed video describing use cases, and explaining what the basic data models are.

The last day or so I've been working on more structured data extraction -- as I have more fun doing that than trying to fix a few regex issues on the front end.

fyi, I deployed a bug last night that broke the calendar. Fixed and deployed right now.

Thanks anyone for looking!

briefly, but not extensively. I was a roam user for almost 3 years. I actually prefer a simple website for mobile and not having an app. I really dislike tags, and the look of brackets. in fact note taking in general lol. Preference is to type minimal notes, minimal configuration, minimal 'gardening'. The complexity and plugins people get into for note taking seems over the top for me.

Gpt-3 for automatic entity extraction/tagging. Embeddings and Pinecone for similarity searches.

Ha! fairly certain I don't belong in any list with those other things, but thanks! also, what I said was a small stretch. I had one text box for weekly notes on my django app i made to collect my canoe building records and customer data. I did more or less start over from scratch with this. But yes, 1000% of my ideas are from making project websites 2000-2014, and from building canoes for 15 years.

You’ll remember it haha

Logseq is awesome. But I really wanted a text box on a website.

Yeah, that’s my one hesitation. But proceeding until I come up with something better or have time to polish. Trying to be brutally honest with wall of text on what it is and isn’t. My normal business has always tried to present as having it together. With this, putting up every update I make each night is kinda freeing.

rad thanks. I wasn't planning any ai features, or datatypes -- but in toying with open ai it came about. I still need to add more inline methods to cast datatypes beyond people, companies, and locations. I'm working on attributes getting pulled out of notes too, so structured data is automatically created -- but not fully fleshed out yet. absolutely understand the need for local and encryption.
