Using GitHub as Note-Taking App

Read here for free.

I’ve tried many note-taking apps. I prefer Markdown based, because markdown is open standard and can be read if in future we don’t use that app.

Some of the problems I faced are, apps were closed source, or save notes on their servers and cost more.

Even some open-source apps, only support proprietary servers. So, it doesn’t make any difference even if apps are open source.

GitHub was always the best place to store notes. As GitHub is free, supports Markdown natively. The only thing was, having some good front-end application for Markdown files stored on GitHub.

So I created one. I made a note-taking app which

• Always in sync with your GitHub repository. So, your notes are always with you.
• Markdown editor, and preview.
• Open-source with AGPL license.
• Web based, so can be accessed from any device.
