• ZK access via mobile phone?

  If you are working with text files and git, gitjournal works well for me. It defaults to Markdown, but if you just edit in raw mode, you can do anything in the text file. Source: over 1 year ago

• Blogging from my phone with GitJournal

  I've been searching for a while for something that would let me simply publish from my phone. I actually saw GitJournal in the Play store a couple of times, but I assumed it would only use GitHub to back up its own proprietary file format and so be useful. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Best site/programm for creating documents

  There are plenty of desktop/mobile apps for working with markdown. (I've been using Notable (desktop) and GitJournal (mobile ) for an Evernote-like experience.) And markdown is often extended with support for internal links like a wiki, attachments, diagramming (see Mermaid), and easy export to other formats like HTML. Source: almost 2 years ago

• FOSS note taking app with sync to local storage as markdown, tiled ui, checklists?

  I've been following GitJournal for this, it has a UI a lot like Keep but backed by markdown files. Despite the name you can use it without git, and use external storage, but it doesn't quite work with existing folders yet, it only stores it's working folder externally. Source: almost 2 years ago

• GitNoter – An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)

  I love how more and more of us are using Git to store our notes, though in this case it's more coupled to GitHub than Git. If there is already a need to self-host this, then why not just hook into git and make this more generic? In fact, why is a Postgres database even needed? Please note that I'm biased. I work on [GitJournal](https://gitjournal.io) which is similar, but only mobile based. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: A plain-text file format for todos and check lists

  > A formal spec also doesn't help much for apps to use this format. There is not a huge need for portability between to do apps, and for most users to do items are ephemeral and not something that needs to be archived and revisited.

• Note taking Application for Linux

  Recently switched from using Google Keep to GitJournal https://gitjournal.io/ synced to my private notes repo on GitHub.
