Love it! The name, the design, the concept, the open source codebase, everything! It’s less like a note taking app and more like a diary writing app. I think that’s very neat and has its own niche.

Love the local-first, browser-based nature of it. If you ever consider making a native app for it, consider looking at antinote (https://antinote.io/). Been using it for over a year. It’s the only notes app that I haven’t uninstalled or forgotten about. I think the simplicity of it is what draws me to it. I feel it aligns with your philosophy for this app!

Thanks for sharing Ichinichi with the world!

MacOS only, I gather? That's too bad. My next machine will be Linux, and I rather like the concept of the application.

It installs easily under Linux.

npm install corepack # installs yarn

cd ichinichi

yarn install # build it or

yarn build # build it or production

Yeah, but not antinote

If you like the open-source codebase, then why are you peddling your closed-source paid platform?

You're allowed to like both. Antinote is very unique, and devs should be allowed to charge for their work if it's a quality app with a really polished UX.

Also, its not theirs.

Thanks so much!

Antinote looks awesome! Love how minimalist it is and how they demo all the features on the landing page. I’m going to look into making ichinichi into a desktop app.
