• Ask HN: What products other than Obsidian share the file over app philosophy?

  FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while. https://fsnot.es/ todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind. http://todotxt.org/ And of course pretty much all of *nix. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple, robust, fast note taking app with offline mode.

  Https://fsnot.es/ is great - fast, native, free (but you can support developer by in-app purchase). Source: over 2 years ago

• Evernote to be acquired by Bending Spoons

  There’s FOSS https://fsnot.es. Looks quite flexible. Exports, iCloud Sync, Deopbox, can also have notes as a Git repo. But big drawback — Apple ecosystem only. But since it syncs to things other than iOS I think other apps can be used on other platform. Dev has made it clear he will not be able to develop for other platforms. I have not used it a lot (still on Simplenote and exploring). It looks good and it’s open... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• nvALT 2

  I replaced it with fsnotes, when you disable the sidebar and tweak some settings you get the same thing. https://fsnot.es. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Show HN: Obsidian 1.0

  Love Obsidian. My main problem with it and similar markdown apps for notes is the way they store images and attachments. I find it very confusing to maintain multiple different files per note and IMO the only app that nailed it is FSNotes[1] using the textbundle[2] format (with a custom implementation for encrypted notes too). I think it's elegant and future-proof. But FSNotes is for the Apple ecosystem only and I... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Write Plain Text Files

  Https://fsnot.es - FSNotes is a native (~100% Swift) FOSS app which I believe is modelled after Bear.app. I have been looking at it for sometime now, from a distance. Very active development. Lots of options. But it still doesn’t seem as stable as I would like it to be. Though sometimes it seems kinda all over. For example - it lets you set a storage and then another storage for “git” handling id you’d like to use... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• New App FSNotes: interesting take on some of Amplenote's structure

  It isn't a ripoff - and the 2 apps are quite different, but https://fsnot.es has an interesting take on the tag Vs folder setup, inline tags, note-linking, etc. Source: over 3 years ago

• Show HN: Obsidian for Mobile – Plain-text knowledge base on the go

  I’ve been very much enjoying FSNotes [0] as a replacement for Notational Velocity (and nvALT) which are both abandonware at this point. FSNotes is a native app, is FLOSS and is actively maintained. It lacks some of the advanced features of Obsidian (like Graph View) but it has the essentials (hyperlinks and tag sidebar). [0] https://fsnot.es/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Bye bye Bear 👋🏻

  Try fsnot.es - very similar to bear, has ios app. oh, and it's free! Source: about 4 years ago

• I'm done with bear for now. Important note permanently lost. Again.

  I just discovered fsnot.es - has everything I need (including iOS app), maybe except the export - but it's markdown so not too bad. Source: about 4 years ago
