   what do you mean by thread number? the notes will always add at the bottom Did you expect a different behavior?

   added a share option in the note editor, let me know what you think

   you mean sharing a note externally with someone over the internet? I could probably do something like that, based on URL-encoding, but it will have a limit of approx ~ 2000 characters

   timestamping content that is not text is on my list, was too complicated for an MVP which I wasn't sure someone would even want :)

   its a 100% client-side react app, there are no server requests except from the first one creating the anonymous user. the local DB is SQLite implementation that supports offline mode and cloud sync (not enabled in this version)

   I share your obsession I even planned a search-by-timestamp feature, and then scrapped it because I thought that its too weird and who-does-this

   thanks! by local you mean a mac/windows app? that would be a major endeavour :)

    thanks! is txt format enough? initially thought of csv, since its a 2 column structure

    hiding the seconds is a great idea, I'll add a minute/second granularity option

    thanks, an oversight, I'll fix it

    not sure if you are sarcastic or not :) but export is planned next

    Thanks for the warm feedback! I see that self hosting is a popular request so I'll start planning it :)

    the approach here was to combine the simplicity of apple notes, working across devices, with the automatic time-stamping found in the desktop ecosystem of tools. Obsidian/SublimeText users are probably not the target audience for this

    this is the answer :) fixing errors should not alter the timeline I assumed that editing timestamps is also quite problematic since it will break the chronological order of the note

    nice idea, but this can make you start a new line and go back to it after a while, making it refer to a stale date?

    that's a great suggestion how do you think we can make it more obvious?

    what suggested thing are you referring to? probably will open this once I un-embarassify the code :)

    thanks, good catch! I'll fix that.

    thanks! no export yet since I wasn't sure how it would look like what kind of export formats are you interested in?

    thanks! can you tell me the Firefox version? keyboard navigation is a great idea, didn't think of it since I mostly use this on mobile.

    I tried to create more of a apple-notes type of app, but I get the appeal in full featured apps like Obsidian and logseq

    no, but I see it's a popular request, a bit embarrassed by how the code looks :) I never planned to release it

    thanks for that! new to this platform and when I created the post, it asked for a url and text which I thought will be shown together (like reddit), and now I can't find my own comment :)

    that's an interesting approach this implies that the context can change from one subject to the other within a single note? is that a useful use-case to you?

    great to hear! logging communications is my main use-case for this, let me know what you think

    this is the local-only version, everything is stored in a db in your browser. the backend just serves the app and creates anonymous users. my private version of the app has cross-device sync, it's just not ready yet for the public, b

    nice! I tagged him, I hope he'll notice :)

    the code is quite embarrassing, imagine backend engineer writing frontend with the help of AI :) but since it's a common request, I'll consider it
