nice work.

I can definitely see a use for this already

> Many note-taking apps today single-paged have high-think-threshold [...] You have to think before you write in them, so not a good option for quick ideas.

Yes. Very much so. I often resort to pen and paper because I want to get down a more free form idea and I often feel very constrained by a note taking platform. I feel like this one is different in that way.

Is there an easy way to embed something from one pane into another? When I have a "drawing" pane I can export the image to svg or png and then import on the "text" pane, but I would love to just send the image over the wall with one click. Maybe its already in there and I'm missing it?

I live in rural Ireland, and I've heard more than one story about a farmer who discovered some archeological find on their land and just plowed over it to avoid the hassle.

"I was born in 200 log cabins"

I feel like this is another "random wikipedia article" post.

Might I suggest adding Mo Money

This thing is beautiful. Makes me want to do something like this but I dont have the time or skill or a 3d printer

I like this. It really helps illustrate that how long it takes to get to Mars can vary hugely depending on when you leave Earth.

My kids learned in school (during the 5 minutes of the year they spent talking about the solar system) that Venus is closer to Earth than Mars, but I had to use a diagram like this to explain that that's only sometimes true

kind of limiting that you can only go back and forward in time one month though. I would love a slider, a play button

there's always someone for whom it doesn't

I get your argument but I see real value here.

Texting yourself is an imperfect solution to the problem. Note taking apps like obsidian also have "labor" in that you have to pick a location for your note, maybe navigate a folder structure etc. This is a "stream" of notes which is closer to how some of us work. I sort of want my reminders to disappear upwards into the past and not clog my interface, but still be searchable.

I've been look for exactly this! (or planning to build it)

I abuse the telegram "Saved" channel to send myself thoughts, notes, reminders, pics, etc as if I'm chatting to the me who's back at his desk.

I wanted to get away from that and not rely on telegram.

Unfortunately I'm an android user so I'll probably have to keep using Telegram for the time being. Is there an android client in the works?

Nothing ever matches the hype. That's what hype is.

Literally short for hyperbole which means "exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally."

obsidian came out 2020 and I built my version before 2017. also the initial version was on Windows Phone and I migrated to android later

A few I can think of

- Note taking app that stores all data as markdown on Dropbox

- When I was getting married I created a photo upload site with a flickr backend where people could bulk upload all of the photos they took of our wedding, and as a result we got thousands of photos without needing to chase people up for memory cards etc.

- Every year I organise Secret Santa for all of my family and my wife's family through a PHP web app I wrote.

> My most used tool I have is a note taking web app that automatically saves markdown files to S3. The most important feature I added was a little button that would automatically make a note for the current day, and put it in the daily notes folder, all sorted and organized. I also have full text search which is very helpful for finding old notes.

I have a very similar thing, mine uses a dropbox folder as a backend so I can easily browse on laptop and use whatever. I like the daily notes idea though!
