Well, this is pretty much Google Docs or any Open Source clone like Nextcloud or LibreOffice Online I guess. It's surely possible though to write something like that with a very lean UI. I think many Web developers go by default for something more complex though because it's not necessarily more effort. And well, there are already a bizillion similar apps. > Also i dont care about a fancy looking UI that uses 8GB of RAM and takes 10 Seconds to load, just make it work.

In Ask HN: Why are there no good note taking apps
Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but Org-mode for Emacs [1] is just great, and fits very well to the requirements: - Source of truth: these are text files, so any of git, nextcloud, syncthing etc. will do. - Consistent interface: using emacs might be tough on mobile, but there are some pretty good web interfaces for it [2]. I personally use Orgzly [3] and syntching on my Android - Standard protocols: custom scripting does anything. ical is pretty easy to handle, not sure about webdav. - FOSS: check - Multiple calendars: yep, via Org agenda [4] - Subtask support: As deep as you can go - Custom logic: via emacs scripts (or some creativity if you're using other clients) - Markdown notes: yes, minimal differences between org mode and markdown [1] https://orgmode.org/ [2] https://github.com/DanielDe/org-web [3] https://www.orgzly.com [

In The open calendar, task and note space is a mess
There is indeed, and it's making me very hopeful for the future of org-mode. Beyond Filestash (great work!) there's the somewhat similar org-web [0], Beorg for iOS [1] and Orgzly for Android [2], all of which them leveraging the power of org-mode without requiring anyone hitting M-x or C-c even once. What Markdown has going for it is a much wider acceptance as a simple, straightforward way to work with text. Especially on modern devices, users with little or no coding background are successfully being lured into (superior!) plaintext workflows by apps with a great UI, and appear to take to it. iA Writer [A] and Bear [B] are two prominent examples of such apps, and I can't see why they would be any worse (or less popular) apps had they instead opted for org-mode behind the scenes. This is what org-mode needs to gain widespread adoption, an
