I take the train daily. I've only ever seen random cops walking around, setting up bag check tables in stations and infrequently armed swat guys on patrol. They never stop people and are more there as a show of force. The subway is no

It depends on the SAAS and what they are trying to do. Do you have an example? If it revolves around: 1. Serving content 2. Selling things (on a small scale) then wordpress would be a good platform. However if you're looking to build

I built Collate ( https://collatenotes.com ) with Electron and I'm a huge fan. Electron does has its downsides but I think that it's eclipsed by the upsides. For collate, those upsides are: 1. Ease of building and distri

I've always tried to reconcile notebook taking with digital notes and this sounds like a great reason to use both. I have a bad habit of taking notes in meetings and then forgetting about them.

Collate Full disclosure, I created it! I made it because there was nothing comparable on the market. Cross-platform, plain text with a powerful markdown editor. I've since added a rich text editor, web clipper and a workflowy style o

This is an interesting idea, would this not be similar to an incubator? I have a similar problem where I have a side project but can't really quit my job and work full time on it.

Yeah, sorry about the scroll jacking. I'm using some off the shelf wordpress theme and I can't figure out how to disable it! I'm going to dig into the codebase a little and see whats causing it. Edit: Ha! Squashed the js that

I've been working on Collate https://collatenotes.com/ which you may find interesting. Quiver had some influence on the feature set but I've taken the good parts and added other neat features. Give the free demo a

Honestly, before this post went live I had no idea if anybody would be interested in yet another note taking application. I was hoping to use it as a way to gauge if people would consider giving me their email address in exchange for tryin

Yes! It would be cool to compile all assets into a single html file and store that.

Hey this is really cool! I love how simple and available it is. The integration into the menubar is great at keeping tasks one click away. I dig it a lot!

Currently you can attach images to notes but I really want to add a way to attach an image and have it download and save to the attachments folder. Then have an insert button available. So one would download an image, attach it to the note

I went through that same list while researching note taking apps a couple months ago. I downloaded and tried a bunch but none of them really hit the sweet spot for me. I'm glad that Collate hits the same use cases for you as it did fo

Hey thanks for the thoughtful answers! The back end is written with Electron, so I have access to plenty of libs on NPM. I was thinking of utilizing libgit2 with some popular thin wrapper out there and giving it a shot and testing it. If it
