One quick issue - unable to connect to my postgres instance that requires SSL.
SSH tunneling seems to be broken as well because when the box is checked I am unable to select a private key path and the connect button is gone
Parsing DB URI would be a helpful feature as well!
Thanks so much, excited to get this up and running when everything is fixed!
For example, when I built https://github.com/pdepip/mmap.it I made the conscious decision to not require any log in information but quickly found I was unable to find who was using my product and then ask them for feedback - so user led development stalled.
To solve this, I built https://mmap.it - a short cut driven note taking tool that allows you to save and search without context switching.
Major difference is mine is focused on longer form documentation and comes with an inline markdown editor. Congrats on the launch!
The main difference is it provides full text search and global keyboard shortcuts so you can access it when you need it, without context switching.
One quick nit-picky ui detail - could you potentially make the name link to twitter and not just the username. Awesome work!
Building from source should work on linux. I'm still ironing out a lot of the kinks, the search window going blank is at the top of my list and I am also working on editor reliability.
Hope you can get the full value out of this once I've made it more reliable!
The main reason I built mmap is I started a new job a few months ago which required learning a ton of new workflows that leveraged a bunch of unfamiliar technologies. Documentation for these was scattered over github, confluence, google groups, etc. which made it both time consuming and difficult to find what I was looking for.
I wanted to be able to save documentation and code snippets in my own words so I could quickly find it without switching windows. It's lead to a noticeable jump in my productivity so far.
For me, the biggest issue with all of these note tools is accessibility. I want to be able to find the information I want with google like search, and no expensive context switching. With mmap, everything is operated by global shortcuts so you never leave your current window.
Basically combines a markdown editor with full text search and all functionality is made accessible through global shortcuts so you can look up information without context switching.
It's free with plans to be open sourced in the next day or so. You can check it out here (https://mmap.it)
