what do you mean by thread number?

the notes will always add at the bottom

Did you expect a different behavior?

added a share option in the note editor, let me know what you think
gohberg

thanks for that!

you mean sharing a note externally with someone over the internet?

I could probably do something like that, based on URL-encoding, but it will have a limit of approx ~ 2000 characters

timestamping content that is not text is on my list, was too complicated for an MVP which I wasn't sure someone would even want :)

its a 100% client-side react app, there are no server requests except from the first one creating the anonymous user. the local DB is SQLite implementation that supports offline mode and cloud sync (not enabled in this version)

I share your obsession I even planned a search-by-timestamp feature, and then scrapped it because I thought that its too weird and who-does-this

thanks! by local you mean a mac/windows app? that would be a major endeavour :)

thanks! is txt format enough? initially thought of csv, since its a 2 column structure

hiding the seconds is a great idea, I'll add a minute/second granularity option

thanks, an oversight, I'll fix it

Thanks for the warm feedback! I see that self hosting is a popular request so I'll start planning it :)

the approach here was to combine the simplicity of apple notes, working across devices, with the automatic time-stamping found in the desktop ecosystem of tools.

Obsidian/SublimeText users are probably not the target audience for this :)

this is the answer :) fixing errors should not alter the timeline I assumed that editing timestamps is also quite problematic since it will break the chronological order of the note
gohberg

nice idea, but this can make you start a new line and go back to it after a while, making it refer to a stale date?
gohberg
·anno scorso·discuss
that's a great suggestion

how do you think we can make it more obvious?
gohberg
·anno scorso·discuss
what suggested thing are you referring to? probably will open this once I un-embarassify the code :)
gohberg
·anno scorso·discuss
thanks, good catch! I'll fix that.

thanks! no export yet since I wasn't sure how it would look like what kind of export formats are you interested in?
