Wow! I was thinking the same notes app like a month or two ago, even tried to create it! Can you open-source it? So we can contribute, and make it self hosted?

the code is quite embarrassing, imagine backend engineer writing frontend with the help of AI :) but since it's a common request, I'll consider it

All code is embarrassing, and there will always be someone that comes along to ask "wow, why did you write THIS in this way? I wouldn't have done it that way!"

I went ahead and created the app with Claude 3.7, backend is in Go, frontend is in React. Sqlite is used for storage.
There is also a docker-compose file.
Anyone can contribute
I noticed there was no simple way to achieve this with any note taking app, so I made one.
* every line you write is automatically timestamped.
* minimalist and distraction free - follows the simplicity of the built-in note apps.
* cross platform - it's a webapp so no install required, works great on mobile, web, android, iOS, tablets.
you can use it for free, no email and no signup required.
I made this first version where data is stored locally on your device.
Sharing here in case someone finds it useful, it would be great to know I solved the same problem for anyone else :)
