Show HN: I made a local web-based notes app in the spirit of "One Big Text File"

Textpod is a simple UI on top of a single notes.md file + a few features I always wanted:

- add + in front of a link to fetch a local copy of the page (downloaded in the background using monolith[1])

- search is integrated into the note input, just start typing with /

- attach images and other files (stored in 'attachments' directory)

I made a 1-minute demo video (no sound) [2].

When you start the binary, the data is served from the current directory: the notes file and the attachments directory are created automatically. Run multiple instances from different directories, if needed (I do that to separate work and personal notes).

It's a very rough initial version thrown together on a Sunday evening. I hope to add nicer error messages and some customizations later.
