Notado Reviews and Details

Is Notado good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Meilisearch – search engine API bringing AI-powered hybrid search

  Been a happy user of MS in production for https://notado.app for many years, and someone from MS even reached out to me a few years ago thanking me for my write-up of syncing Postgres records to MS[1], saying they used it as a reference for something they later shipped. I haven't kept up with the latest updates, all these new AI references don't inspire confidence at all, but the older version I'm running is... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Audioscrape: Building in Rust When Everyone Said I Shouldn't

  I bootstrapped Notado[1][2] and Kullish[3] in Rust. Best decision I ever made. Similar setups (Rocket and Actix instead of Axum, Tera instead of Askama, Diesel instead of SQLx) and overall experience (incredibly cheap, reliable, and since these projects have been running a long time, amazingly easy to return to the codebases after months/years and make changes with a high level of confidence). I distinctly... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Browser bookmarking system is already built-in (2024)

  My monthly opportunity to put out the idea that bookmarks should be centered around content and not metadata (links). I've written a lot about this, and I got so annoyed with bookmarking and highlighting services getting it so frustratingly wrong[1] that I wrote my own solution from the ground up in 2020[2], and I have never looked back to browser bookmarks or services like Pinboard, Instapaper, Readwise etc.... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Betula – federated bookmarking software for the independent web

  You're nearly there my friend: bookmarks should be centered around content and not around links. I've written a lot about this, and I got so annoyed with bookmarking and highlighting services getting it so frustratingly wrong[1] that I wrote my own solution from the ground up in 2020[2], and I have never looked back to Pinboard, Instapaper or Readwise.

• Creating a Safari webarchive from the command line

  > Pretty useful for archiving discussions on Reddit. What I do now is save the comments within the discussions (on HN, Reddit, Twitter etc) as text which is indexable and searchable with additional metadata which helps for filtering (author is the main one I use), while automatically archiving the entire URLs associated with them.[1] For me, this is the best of both worlds - quick access via fault-tolerant search... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What hair on fire problem are you willing to pay for right now?

  Https://notado.app has had support for Tweets and multiple other types of UGC (like comments! From everywhere!) for a long time now. I am the main developer and you can look at my comment history here for more details on the philosophy behind the project. You can also check out some of my feeds of saved content[1] to get an idea of the breadth of support for UGC. There are some articles available too if you don't... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking

  Your initial want is pretty close to I ended up creating for myself for all things text-based with https://notado.app. I ended up ditching my old stuff in Instapaper, Readwise and Pinboard back in 2020ish because it didn't really fit the data model[1] (content-first rather than link-first) and since then I'm very happy with how everything is organized and shareable in Notado. I still think it's possible to go... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Fighting Infomania: Why 80% of Your Reading Is a Waste of Time

  Reminds me of my own approach of RINORIN (read it now or read it never) which I've written about on HN before and led me to cancel all my RIL app subscriptions and create https://notado.app instead. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• An app can be a home-cooked meal

  I love seeing whenever this is (re)posted. This article had such a huge impact on my life and led to me creating many pieces of software[1][2][3] that were hyper-specific to myself and my needs at the time, which also later found an audience in others who think and work in ways similar to me.

• Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?

  It's very heartening to see all of the stories here. I've put the last few years of my life into working on komorebi, a tiling window manager for Windows[1], https://notado.app, a content-first social bookmarking service, and https://kulli.sh, a "bring your own links" comment aggregator which shows you comments from hn, reddit, lobsters, lemmy etc. On an article all in one place. Unfortunately I was laid off after... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Rocket v0.5: Stable, Async, Feature-Packed

  Looking forward to this hopefully final big upgrade on my 20k LOC web service[1]. The upgrade from 0.4 to the first rc of 0.5 was a slog, but I've already upgraded to 0.5-rc.4 so this should hopefully be comparatively painless. [1]: https://notado.app. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The “Do Something About It” Club

  I won't be at a computer for a while to dig up all the links; but check out both my comment and post history on HN; the short version is that I ditched Readwise, Instapaper, Pinboard & co, and my entire histories there, and wrote something from scratch tailored to my own needs which is now also publicly available at https://notado.app I generally encourage people to write software that is tailored to their own... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Archive Your Reddit Data Before It's Too Late

  Https://notado.app has supported importing saved comments (and tweets, and hn comments etc) for a long time now. Even if you don't want an account long-term, you can use it to dump your saved (text) posts to a machine readable format for later. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Vore: A new RSS feed reader

  If you want to try it out first-hand, I built https://notado.app from the ground-up around this exact content-first data model. All of the "recent highlights" feeds on my website are built around this idea (I save interesting "content" [with the URL/book/comment permalink being treated as metadata instead of a primary identifying key], categorize it, and based on the categorization, the content is automatically... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• State of Rust for web backends

  I am the solo developer of two web applications which use backends (and frontends, I guess) written in Rust. I cannot recommend Rust highly enough for solo developers, even beginners in Rust. The first one uses Rocket, and it was my first real project where I really learned how to use Rust and get the most out of it in this domain. I'm still pretty happy with Rocket and enjoy developing on top of it, however I... Source: over 2 years ago
