@tony2016 Agree. Thanks so much for the support.


@tallship thanks so much. I'll start working on that issue


exactly. most of the users just use it for text notes.


Are you sure about that? I tend to think that Evernote's differentiation is the vast feature diversity. IMO old software like this often continues to succeed because it can support the long-tail of use cases in a way that newer software does not.


Noted! I'll see if this feature can be added.


https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/curren... :

> [Teh ElasticSearch Core Ingest Attachment Processor Plugin]: The ingest attachment plugin lets Elasticsearch extract file attachments in common formats (such as PPT, XLS, and PDF) by using the Apache text extraction library Tika.

> The source field must be a base64 encoded binary. If you do not want to incur the overhead of converting back and forth between base64, you can use the CBOR format instead of JSON and specify the field as a bytes array instead of a string representation. The processor will skip the base64 decoding then

Apache Tika supported formats > Images > TesseractOCR: https://tika.apache.org/2.4.0/formats.html https://tika.apache.org/2.4.0/formats.html#Image_formats :

> When extracting from images, it is also possible to chain in Tesseract, via the TesseractOCRParser, to have OCR performed on the contents of the image.

/? Meilisearch "ocr" GitHub;

Looks like e.g. paperbase (agpl) also implements ocr with tesseractocr: https://docs.paperbase.app/

Would be good to have:

- Search results on a timeline indicating search match occurrence frequency; ability to "zoom in" or "drill down"

- "Find more like these" that prepopulates a search query form

- "Find more like these" that mutates the query pattern and displays the count for each original and mutated query along with the results; with optional optimization


GitJournal is nice. Just wanted to check with whats your opinion about this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31580996

Did you get the permission for using "Git" mark?


I didn't know it was required.

I'll shoot them an email and ask, and start thinking of a different name. In the case of Gitea [0], there doesn't seem to have been any response.

Thanks for bringing this up. Though I wonder how well can "Software Freedom Conservancy" claim "GitSomething" is not allowed when there are clearly so so many projects doing it. Eg - Gitolite / Gittea. Trademarks are only so good as long as they are enforced.

[0] - https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/4175


thanks for pointing out. I'll change the name.


You can add the images inside markdown using existing image url. The image upload is not implemented yet. I've noted it & I'll work on this functionality

Thanks for showing interest in the mobile app. I'm working on the android app prototype. You will see the app on play store soon.


Why didn't you use react native? Your website is react which would have made it easy to copy over components.


I'm not a big fan of react-native. I've tried it earlier and the app size is huge as it has to bundle so many things to make it work on android. So I prefer java/kotlin for android app which is compact and performant than react-native.

BTW I'm also checking if https://fyne.io/ can be used. I'll love to use golang for the app :)


Thanks so much. Golang is awesome. I've recently learned it. I'm looking forward to your contribution to codebase.


Thanks for pointing the web clipping. I've noted it. I can add this feature to GitNoter. Hopefully soon


Agree, but GitNoter is self hosted webapp it does not require any desktop/mobile client. It can be directly accessible with the browser.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check if import from evernote can be added as a feature to GitNoter.


I realize this is probably a big ask, but an import from Google Keep would be a huge plus. Google eventually kills off EVERYTHING good.


yes right. I'm thinking of implementing add-ons for all popular note taking services like google, evernote, onenote etc so that the notes can be imported using gitnoter.


Nice idea! And Google Tasks, please.

That would be a relief to finally make a link between Google Keep and Google Tasks, something long overdue!


sure :)


I was pretty disappointed when I set up a Joplin server only to discover there was no web UI. The desktop and mobile clients aren't bad, but if I can't also quickly get to the content via a browser, I'll never use it. It never even dawned on me before installing that there wouldn't be a web UI.
