I’m working on Bangle[1] which is similar that saves notes locally in Markdown but provides a nice notion like UI.

Bangle looks like an interesting project.

I tried using it but couldn't get it to work. It relies on keystrokes like Ctrl-P and Ctrl-Shift-P, which I dislike for 2 reasons:

(1) it forces people to remember commands when they shouldn't have to. GUIs have used menus, buttons etc for this for ages.

(2) Perhaps importantly, it doesn't work for my setup (Firefox on Linux), where Ctrl-Shift-P opens another Firefox window for privater browsing.

Also I note that File System storage only works with the Chrome browser. This is probably a good thing because I do not want random web pages being able to look at my filesystem!


Those are great points, I will be working on the product to improve upon those.

Just like how a random web page cannot access your webcam, similarly a random web page cannot access your file system without your permission.


thank you for posting this.... it looks like exactly what I've been wanting. Looking forward to where the product goes!


Thanks for the kind words, my goal is to make note taking portable and delightful.
