Here's the first thing built off of it (it lets you make a notebook public): http://pensieve.housejeffries.com/ http://pensieve.housejeffries.com/
I love Evernote and think it's a great service, but there should be a simpler way to get most of the same functionality. MultiMarkdown files let you do this while still being able to use vim, grep, etc.
Criticism would be very welcome. So far this has just been a fun practice project, but would anyone find it useful if it was more developed?
- dcalacci 13y agoI definitely would. I've been searching for a way to write plaintext notes and have them available "in the cloud", or at least through a web interface. Evernote's appeal is how easy it is to manage multimedia content in notes. I haven't come across an elegant solution to that in plain-text. The closest I've come is using Markdown in VimWiki, and then exporting my notes as HTML.

MultiMarkdown files let you do this while still being able to use vim, grep, etc." What you're building is cool but markdown, vim and grep aren't simple. Evernote is.
- icebraining 13y agoEvernote is simple to learn. His system is architecturally simpler.
- k-mcgrady 13y agoGood point.
- seagreen 13y agoGah. I'm starting to have trouble thinking about things from a non-technical perspective. I like icebraining's distinction and will try to make that clear in future descriptions.
