How is it better than Obsidian, that stores files locally?

I didn't find any info about pricing, also I can't find how to delete a «project» (created three of them when I was randomly clicking all the buttons to understand better how your site works and now don't know how to get rid of them).


Maker here, great to be on HN!

There's an abundance of note-taking / productivity apps and we've tried many of them before building acreom. Yet, we've had a difficult time sticking with them, mainly for 2 reasons:

1. The "all-in-one" interfaces are bloated with user-facing features in form of buttons, dropdowns etc. which makes them painful to use. Generally, these tools focus on organisation-first, capturing-second which also wasn't natural to our workflow.

2. Use-case-wise, the space is mostly fragmented. Some tools focus on note-taking, others on task management and few are all-in-one workspaces.

Like many others, we resorted to using simple tools like apple notes or even pen&paper with calendar. But why isn't there just 1 easy to use tool for our workflow?

This leads to our approach. acreom combines knowledge base with task management in 1 simple and functional interface.

Instead of building features which are user-facing, acreom's aim is to offload much of the organisational hassle from the user with text-to-data conversion - NLP.

Thus, the fundamental building principles of acreom are: 1. text-to-data conversion 2. capture-first, organise-later 3. private with no vendor-lock-in (export your data anytime, local storage & encryption coming out with our desktop app in the upcoming weeks)
