there's a similar app made specifically for devs - https://acreom.com

disclaimer: I am the maker of acreom

That looks terrific and the price is fair. I am concerned about no open source local client - I don't want to rely on the company if it goes belly up (which is why I actually like paying).

I just recently moved to Org Mode but if I were still in the Markdown ecosystem I would give this tool serious consideration.

open-sourcing is on our roadmap (https://roadmap.acreom.com), when it comes to the data ownership & privacy, acreom is built on technical decisions to deliver both in full fashion.

it's local-first, all your data is stored on your device as regular markdown (no custom md flavor) and works fully offline.

the (optional) sync is free and E2E encrypted.

when it's open source, let us know.

Too many companies have it on the roadmap and never deliver.

Thank you for the update. I'll be watching this.

I'm working on something similar (i.e. a content editor for developers) with Vrite, that's already open-source: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite

It's not the same as acreom (leaning more towards a CMS-like platform with API, real-time collab, etc.), but is well-suited for e.g. creating knowledge bases.

For Org Mode maybe this app would be something similar as it also focuses on projects and tasks on textfile basis: https://easyorgmode.com/

Interesting, thank you!

Looks cool but I hate the copy (sorry, just giving honest feedback):

"Ship faster by organizing less acreom is the actionable knowledge base for 10x developers."

I was wondering what it meant to "organize less acreom".

that looks so neat! I'm building a modern cross-platform app and aiming for a similar look-and-feel so I'm curious what your stack looks like, especially the UI (it's not a note-taking app but more like spreadsheets and presentations, so I promise I'm not a competitor!)

no worries, we use Vue & Nuxt. Good luck with your project!

thanks! I've been making progress with React + NextJS + Tauri but sometimes it's so painful I debate if I should pick a different stack entirely

The UI of the Mac app looks a lot like a previous version of craft.do which I love. I found the iOS version of acreom is too light

I just tried out the iOS app

Every time I try to move a page to a new folder the app crashes, is this a know issue or do you want more info?

thanks for reporting, will look into it, more info would be appreciated!

Basic process in iOS was:

* create folder * create page in folder * create new page while this previous page was open * Observe that new page is not created in current folder. Go find page in all pages and open * Go to page info and try to change location * App crash

Happens every time for me

most of the acreom users who switched from obsidian switched over because of the UI, out of the box tasks implementation, integrations (Jira, Github etc.) and many other features which require plugins are do not provide the best experience.

acreom is designed specifically for devs and makes it easy to bring all relevant context in one place, create and track progress on your projects and capture stuff quickly.

I hear you but also in that case why not just use something like Github/Linear directly? I'm really attracted to what you're doing but when I think through it I already feel well served by stuff like Linear if it's "task" work I'm mainly trying to capture.

what acreom gets you is really be able to have your personal context tied together with the team context. Devs use it to handle they day to day, capture standup notes, create their own tasks, and when they work on large feature they can easily link that to the github PR or issue in Jira (soon Linear as well) give it a try, would love to know your feedback!

there's a much better way providing simplicity with full data ownership and real tasks out of the box in daily documents https://acreom.com

Sorry but the fact that you would reply to a thread about a TXT file with the gibberish "providing simplicity with full data ownership and real tasks out of the box" shows you don't get your own product, and that you are unable to make a compelling case to use it over a simple TXT file.

Here's a simple way to avoid it, and have your personal knowledge base integrated https://acreom.com/bye-jira

Check out https://acreom.com, you literally own the software, it's local-first, E2EE, integrated, runs on markdown files, and once you download the app you can keep it forever.

Thats good, but what about the email. I dont see a good custom domain host anywhere

obsidian is awesome.

I'll go ahead and do a shameless plug for an alternative built with similar philosophy around privacy & data ownership aimed at developers https://acreom.com

I love the design of acreom! When I tried it, I was impressed with marking notes as Active/Done etc.

Do you support collecting individual checkbox items into a unified view as well?

Would you also consider adding an outline view/toc? Tysm!

> Do you support collecting individual checkbox items into a unified view as well? yes, acreom is pretty flexible when it comes to creating views over your pages, you can create views with pages with tasks and save it with all tasks surfaced.

> Would you also consider adding an outline view/toc? already supported!

try acreom, free e2ee sync that works out of the box with a local-first setup.

this is cool as well as your other side projects :)

Thanks! there's also a group version of this app / little experiment I've been playing with. Working title "Space Kalimba".

Sometimes * I communicate with random people via that site, without any words, just sending little "plomks" to each other.

more people does not necessarily correlate with higher productivity, quite the opposite in many cases. Larger headcount introduces more meetings, more processes, slower decision making and overall less agile teams.

80% jobs are maybe a fit for a large established orgs while unthinkable for small teams solving hard problems with limited resources.
