All this is is a presentation with a boatload of text and absolutely NO indication of what the app looks like or how you go about using it. Even before i saw the note about the security issues i wouldn't click on try because why should i invest my time in trying it. I have no clue what it does beyond saving markdown files to github. I've got plenty of markdown apps that I like quite a bit, and uploading my notes to github is not something i've been going "damn i wish i had an app that would do that" because anyone who knows about github already knows how to commit their files and push them up... doing it in gists is even worse (ignoring security aspects) because at least with my manually managed notes their organized in folders, browsable, greppable, etc.

I'm one of the devs for Kobble. Since Kobble is such a versatile tool, it can be quite difficult to tune a marketing message clearly. We are working on it! One of Kobble's primary uses is as an open content sharing platform. GitHub gists were chosen for this purpose intentionally, because the discovery mechanisms are built into GitHub. On top of that, we have built a flexible data model (similar to YouTube) for organizing and sharing the content. Private repos (which are coming shortly) address the other use case where you want to keep data private. We have clarified this in the intros.
