thanks so much for the feedback. I'm working on providing the image upload functionality. Markdown preview is currently available with the preview button in the right corner of markdown editor.

I'm not a big fan of react-native. I've tried it earlier and the app size is huge as it has to bundle so many things to make it work on android. So I prefer java/kotlin for android app which is compact and performant than react-native.

BTW I'm also checking if https://fyne.io/ can be used. I'll love to use golang for the app :)

@tallship thanks so much. I'll start working on that issue
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
Yes the application is containerised also I have created the helm charts for deployment on kubernetes cluster - https://github.com/git-noter/gitnoter-charts

Because it does not require desktop client. It stores the notes in git repository so you have access to all the revisions which is very useful in case you want to revert any changes
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
thanks. I've noted the feedback. I'll work on implementing these features.
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)

GitJournal is nice. Just wanted to check with whats your opinion about this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31580996

Did you get the permission for using "Git" mark?

vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
thanks for pointing out. I'll change the name.
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
You can add the images inside markdown using existing image url. The image upload is not implemented yet. I've noted it & I'll work on this functionality

Thanks for showing interest in the mobile app. I'm working on the android app prototype. You will see the app on play store soon.

vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
yes right. I'm thinking of implementing add-ons for all popular note taking services like google, evernote, onenote etc so that the notes can be imported using gitnoter.
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
Thanks. Any number of users can use GitNoter simultaneously on any number of devices against a single repo as long as all of them has write access to the repository.
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
Thanks so much for the kind words

Thanks so much. Golang is awesome. I've recently learned it. I'm looking forward to your contribution to codebase.
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
Thanks for pointing the web clipping. I've noted it. I can add this feature to GitNoter. Hopefully soon
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
Agree, but GitNoter is self hosted webapp it does not require any desktop/mobile client. It can be directly accessible with the browser.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check if import from evernote can be added as a feature to GitNoter.

vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
Yes. The idea is to support as many git services as possible. Which includes GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket and more

For the initial POC I have integrated it with GitHub

vivekweb2013··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
yeah I agree. This is really the knowledge management tool

Hi Friends, I'm the author of GitNoter. I'd love to answer any questions you have
vivekweb2013··on Show HN: GitNoter – Store notes to your GitHub repository
Why use GitNoter for notes

- Its totally free!

- Categorise notes using folders. The folders can be nested. Explore the notes using tree view provided in the sidebar.

- Autocomplete feature suggest available folders while creating a note.

- It supports markdown format for notes. That means you can use links, tables, blockquote, code sections and other formatting supported with markdown.

- Markdown editor available with all the editing tools.

- Copy to clipboard button available for code sections.

- All the notes are stored in your github repository. So you can enjoy unlimited storage.

- Since the notes are stored inside git repo, you can always access history. This is a great advantage and very useful in case you accidentally delete or modify a note.

vivekweb2013··on Show HN: CommandHunt – Find, store, copy and share commands
Hello Everyone, my name is Vivek, and I am the maker of CommandHunt.

Problem Statement:

Someone who works on unix/linux system and uses different commands to perform different tasks struggles with below problems.

- Find a specific command which will help to perform a task.

- Understanding the different options provided with the command.

- Maintaining the commands for future use.

- Quickly copying the command.

- Sharing a command within team.

When I was facing these problems I thought of creating an application which will provide a nice graphical interface to help me find and explore a command with all its supported syntax, options and flags.

Solution:

I started working on MVP - commandhunt.com project, which is a web application with nice gui. As the idea evolved, I started implementing more features like - Building a command, storing it for future use, publishing a it.. etc. Below is the list of features offered with the product - commandhunt.com

- Login with social-networks (OAuth providers) such as Google, Facebook and GitHub.

- Easily find a specific command using search input.

- Filtering, sorting and pagination supported.

- Build the command with required values and save it privately to your account.

- Access all the saved commands for future use, filter them based on a keyword.

- Publish a command to share it with others using a public link.

- Copy the command to clipboard with just one click.

- Print the command.

- Responsive user interface.

- Any application link can be bookmarked in the browser.

This application is free for all and can be useful to a large group of users. Be it a DevOps guy, IT support engineer, Administrator, Developer or anyone who deals with commands, can benefit form this application.

I've spent a lot of time and efforts to build this application. I hope you like it.

I wouldn't trust the indicator light, its not a mechanical switch, its something programmed that means - you know what I mean. I would prefer covering with a tape, I'm doing it for a long and it didn't damaged anything.
