I actually found that using special directory for notes and git and grep is actually convenient. The only thing I'm missing is fuzzy search features of grep, like build on word2vec models.
- h1d 8y agoCan we call this the Dropbox syndrome where people boasts they have a better solution with combination of cli tools instead of a service?

- gitgud 8y agoThat is an interesting Hacker News type of phenomenon, but I personally enjoy reading the alternative solutions to a presented problem. And sometimes it turns out that the SASS product is simply a wrapper around a cli tool... for example the product [1] Mole, which is a wrapper around ssh to make it easier... but not really necessary...

- heathjohns 8y agoFunnily enough, Edsu and git's data stores are very similar in that they're both Merkle trees. It means that they both have similar benefits of trivial checkpointing, automatically deduplicating revision histories, etc. So if you squint enough, Edsu is kind of an "APIized" version of your setup :) So in addition to text files, it can also be structured application data.
