Benchmarking is a mess everywhere . Sure you can get some level of accuracy but reproducing any kind of benchmark results across machines is impossible. That's why perf people focus on things like CPU cycles, heap size, cache access e

React is not slow. React is not "big". React is not the reason your website is slow. Any engineer who thinks that its React that is causing the slow renders and replacing it with X is deluded. Yes, there are ways to make slow Reac

You'd already be using source maps in any real-world scenario so I am not sure what's the value proposition here outside of "just for fun, I guess". The tsc transpilation to lower ES versions is actually really useful wh

Hello everyone! After around 2 years, we are back on HN with a massive update for Notesnook. But before that, here's a short introduction: Notesnook is an end-to-end encrypted, 100% open source [0] note taking app that prioritizes user

Not slow changes. Offering self hosted officially means that we have to be aware of users who are self hosting before we make any drastic changes, writing migrating guides, and giving some sort of support. All that has an impact on producti

There's no point in offering users self hosting if you are going to throw them into a fire by doing so. Notesnook is rapidly evolving and changing, and hoping for self hosted users to keep up is impractical. Instead, we want to first s

It seems to me you are looking for a syntax highlighter in a note taking app. Which modern language are you looking for? There are encrypted backups. Actually, backups are encrypted by default. Notesnook also works offline by default so the

v3 will be even smoother. We are migrating to SQLite so startup times will be instant. Performance is a feature.

Markdown itself is more technical than, say, a WYSIWYG editor. People are more used to using MS Word and Google Docs. Obsidian prioritizes a different kind of note taking and, hence, you'll find a lot of tech-savvy users among its comm

Obsidian is a cool app but it's targeted for a very specific kind of user. Of course, for a technical user Obsidian would feel like home but for an average user with not a lot of technical know how, Obsidian would go way over their hea

We are very close to fully supporting self hosted Notesnook. After v3 that'll be our primary focus. That and an audit.

Oh wow. Just heard the Notesnook is on the front page of HN. I am the co-founder so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Oh and to clear a few confusions: 1. Notesnook is 100% open source. That includes the server, client apps, and

Ah war stories. Just a few weeks back a user came to us after failing to migrate GBs of their data off of Evernote. This, of course, included attachments. They had successfully imported & synced 80K items, but when they tried to login o

I don't think even you understand what you just said. Consumer devices are notorious for their reliability problems. Compared to a full blown server that you have 100% control over with almost insane amounts of RAM & CPU power &amp

I think you misunderstand. My intention was not to say local-first is bad or impossible; it's not. We have been local-first at Notesnook since the beginning and it has been going alright so far. But anyone looking to go local-first or

As someone who has been doing local-first for the last 3 years with Notesnook, let me tell you: it's not all gardens and roses. Local first has its own very unique set of problems: 1. What to do with stale user data? What happens if a

I don't think that's true. We have been using ASP .NET Core + SignalR for everything in Notesnook[0]. It has great performance, libraries for everything out there, very good ergonomics, and a mature ecosystem. I know you can proba

The author is going into technicalities without much actual substance, ending with: it depends. I think whenever we, as programmers, try to pin down a certain principle, it bites us. Hard. DRY was cool as an observation but when it got turn

Anyone who says X must be done in Y way is most absolutely wrong. Who is Tiago Forte to tell how I should organize my thoughts? Am I a robot to follow so simply in the footsteps of another? I would like a more general approach, please. Any

I think all note apps are just databases. Some day an LLM might be able to make sense of the messy notes in my note taking app but I am not holding my breath. My notes are not supposed to stand the test of time. They are ephemeral thoughts
