• Ask HN: What products other than Obsidian share the file over app philosophy?

  FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while. https://fsnot.es/ todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind. http://todotxt.org/ And of course pretty much all of *nix. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Looking for a simple, robust, fast note taking app with offline mode.

  Https://fsnot.es/ is great - fast, native, free (but you can support developer by in-app purchase). Source: over 1 year ago

• Evernote to be acquired by Bending Spoons

  There’s FOSS https://fsnot.es. Looks quite flexible. Exports, iCloud Sync, Deopbox, can also have notes as a Git repo. But big drawback — Apple ecosystem only. But since it syncs to things other than iOS I think other apps can be used on other platform. Dev has made it clear he will not be able to develop for other platforms. I have not used it a lot (still on Simplenote and exploring). It looks good and it’s open... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• nvALT 2

  I replaced it with fsnotes, when you disable the sidebar and tweak some settings you get the same thing. https://fsnot.es. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Obsidian 1.0

  Love Obsidian. My main problem with it and similar markdown apps for notes is the way they store images and attachments. I find it very confusing to maintain multiple different files per note and IMO the only app that nailed it is FSNotes[1] using the textbundle[2] format (with a custom implementation for encrypted notes too). I think it's elegant and future-proof. But FSNotes is for the Apple ecosystem only and I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Use Midnight Commander like a pro (2015)

  Shameless plug for my more modern alternative to Midnight Commander, https://fman.io. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Best symbols in folder names to pin an important folder up top?

  Use a file browser that supports jumping to a folder by frecency (examples: z (shell extension) or my-dired-recent-dirs() in my dired or https://fman.io/ for users that prefer graphical UIs). You will find out that you will prefer jumping to navigation when you're familiar with the concept. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

  There are great alternatives. I used Python and Qt to create my file manager [1]. It's a tool that needs to start quickly so Electron was not an option [2]. I open sourced my build system for creating cross-platform desktop apps with it in minutes at https://build-system.fman.io/. 1: https://fman.io 2: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Explorer: Move selected files into a new folder (like on MacOS)

  And for the record, I think over the years I learned to like Finder... I guess I like the sheer simplicity (I use fman) and started to love it back in OS 9 and those lovable purple hues :P. Source: about 2 years ago

• Non-Commercial Licenses Are Non-Free Licenses

  Fman by Matthew Herrmann https://fman.io From what I've gathered, success has been mixed. Duplicacy seems to be doing well based on forum activity and release history. Fman never made much money. If I recall correctly the Fman author was turned off by the number of people who criticized it for being fully open-source and wished he'd stuck with a closed-source full commercial model. I'd like for the open-source... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
