There have been bugs (still unresolved) about restoring purchases, in each case, the users have written to me, and I've immediately provided them coupons or a workaround. Regarding stability, there sadly are some crashes on ios which I

It might be better to only measure the size of the `.git` folder, as with it you can reproduce everything else. Essentially, a bare git instance.

Sorry. Clearly trying to fix this at 3 am while panicking about HNs wasn't a good idea. I tested it properly this time. Version 1.85.2, I'm just uploading it for review.

Yup. Though the UI is pretty customizable. My initial (and even now) aim with GitJournal was to satisfy 2 of my needs - A good journalling app where I have control of my data. I used to use Journey [0], but they kept adding more and more cr

The bug fix has been approved by Apple! Please upgrade to version 1.85.1.

This is similar to what GitJournal does. It'll never present you with a merge conflict and will instead just make prefer the local changes. It's not perfect, but in the worst case, the wrong option is chosen, but no data is lost s

There is a proof of concept AppImage built by the CI, but it's not even Alpha level of quality. Thanks for pointing the bug out!

I started going down this route [0], but I very quickly realised the additional overhead of the tooling was not very user friendly. In the end, I'm trying to write a custom git remote which will encrypt everything, similar to how keyba

If you add a single note before setting up the Git Host, it might work.

by vhanda 4y ago
If you don't self host, you have a very marginal improvement of privacy. The main benefit would be eliminating vendor lockin. I'm working on an end-to-end encrypted git solution, but it's still in the prototype phase.

Hey nindalf. My apologies, I introduced a bug and didn't expect this to get posted on HNs. The fix is pending review on iOS, so hopefully you should receive it soon. (Version 1.85.1 has the fix) Regardless, I'd love it if you coul

I started https://GitHub.com/GitJournal/git-auto-sync to do this exact thing. Just with an easier interface and proper tests. You can basically call `git-auto-sync daemon add`, and it will register itself as a systemd

You're quite right. Would you mind using the report a bug button in the sidebar? It'll create an email with some debugging info. I thought I'd fixed the issue, but the fix is still pending review on iOS. However, if you'

Author here. What I'm pushing for is open formats + git for sync. That way, you can easily combine different tools. GitJournal is never going to do everything, the note taking app world is way too complex. Instead, my plan was for GitJ

Thanks for providing the extra info. I'll look into it.

Yes, you unfortunately do. If you're a student or having financial problems, please let me know, I'll be happy to generate some coupon codes.for you.

Nope. But good catch, I'll add it to my todo list. The website is built with Hugo [0], so it should be easy enough. [0] https://gohugo.io/

Understood. Maybe it's cause I had earlier experimented with a subscription instead of paying once for the new features. Shoot me an email please, I'll provide you with some coupon codes so you can get the pro features without pay

It doesn't work when the app is suspended. I tried experimenting with running a background async job every 'x' minutes, but encountered problems with Flutter + background tasks so I put it on hold.

Hi. I'm the author. I never moved any features behind a paywall. Only new features are paid. Also, the entire source code (pro features as well) are completely open source. Regardless, I'm not happy that you feel cheated. Is there

GPL seems to be incompatible with the iOS store as that places some extra restrictions on it. [0] [1]. Some GPL apps such as KDE Connect have a special exception in their license for the ios App Store. [2] [0] https://opensource.

When GitJournal boots, it autocommits and pushes any untracked changes. You could use it to avoid having to click around in mGit. If you had to pick one feature, which I could implement to help, which would it be? Disclaimer: GitJournal aut

Kind of. There is basic support because of another open source org mode app - Orgro ( https://orgro.org ), - the author was even gracious enough to relicense his code away from GPL, so that I could use it. since GitJournal is ship

GitJournal doesn't yet support LFS, and since neither libgit2 or go-git supports it, it's unlikely that I'll implement it. (last I checked it wasn't supported, maybe things have changed). I do, however, want to support

- I just use the local version always and don't deal with any of the conflicts. It is however in the top 10 issues to fix. Since the history is still preserved, no data is lost. - I commit and pull + push each time a note is modified &

Hello people of HN. I'm the author, and didn't expect this to get posted here as I introduced a bug in the iOS version where cloning a repo might fail if it doesn't have a single note. Sorry about that. A bugfix version will

A few things are lacking. 1. Decent desktop apps to sync the data, not everyone is comfortable hacking a Cron script. I've started with that - https://GitHub.com/GitJournal/git-auto-sync - but it's in the ear

I haven't yet integrated a third party payment mechanism, so I can't really add it to the official FDroid Repos. Till then, I maintain my own repo - https://gitjournal.io/fdroid_how_to/ The updates are auto-s
