In Ask HN: What tech stack would you use to build an open-source Google Keep clone?Anyone looking for some Linux alternatives to these should check out brainstorm https://github.com/Azeirah/brainstorm
It's not totally full-featured yet but it has some decent support so far.
In Show HN: Plain text for the webYou can try out brainstorm: github.com/Azeirah/brainstorm,
Tags can be used to semantically link notes, or if you want to link to another note, you can just use []() markdown link syntax, each note has its own url.
You can try the demo at sandstorm.io (install brainstorm as an app)
Or you can try a slightly older version here: http://brainstorm-notes.meteor.com/board/Home
Is that similar to what you're looking for?

1 points · Open discussionFor anyone interested in an alternative, I'm working on Brainstorm, an open-source note taking application that runs in the browser.
Its fuelled by markdown with syntax highlighting support. Since Brainstorm likes looking at things, you can also embed images (and .webm video using html <video>)
The demo currently has no restrictions on who can and cannot edit notes. This won't be a problem in the future.
Demo can be found here: http://brainstorm-notes.meteor.com

In Show HN: Quiver – The Programmer's NotebookI have a similar project, it's licensed under the GNU license. You can host it wherever you want to.
It's early in its development stage, and I would love all and any kinds of feedback.

In Show HN: Beyondpad – New kind of note taking and data management solutionI'm working on something that's very similar. It's early in development, and lacks many features. But if you private host it, it's already very usable.
