My uncle eats ZERO salt. I think it's cool if he manages to do that, but for me that is unachievable.

Hi guys! I wanted to share the app I've been developing.

DeepNotes is an open source, end-to-end encrypted visual note-taking tool with deep bidirectional page navigation and realtime collaboration.

I'm making my note universe public in this link to showcase the possibilities with DeepNotes and show how I use it: https://deepnotes.app/pages/euYw8Xg1JJ1I1BOpWkuA5

Let me know what you think!

In my mind the apps most similar to DeepNotes are Heptabase, Obsidian, Roam Research, and Notion. Maybe put Miro, Whimsical and Clover in that list.

Comparing against these I would say the main differences are security, user-designed navigation, spatiality and simplicity:

- Security (and privacy): As far as I know, none of the apps above have end-to-end encryption like DeepNotes. DeepNotes is more fitting for you if you value security and privacy.

- User-designed navigation: As far as I know, all these apps lock your pages into a tree index structure for page navigation. In DeepNotes the user creates their own page navigation by placing links to pages in 2D instead of organizing their pages in a tree structure.

- Spatiality: This is the ability to move notes in 2D. This is one important defining feature which some of these apps don't have. At least the most popular, Notion, doesn't. Obsidian recently added a canvas feature though.

- Simplicity: DeepNotes is just notes and arrows inside linkable pages. Looking at Heptabase and Notion, for example, they keep adding features like databases, PDF file reading, and AI integration that make the app more complex, and the app becomes bloated.

Very cool. Does it show notifications on new comments or just updates automatically?

Very curious how did you overcome the 2048 (or 4000) tokens limit? Did you have to retrain the model in some form?

Clean interface. Interesting approach. The demo account helps alot for a quick experimentation. Just the dark mode already makes this 10 times better than trello for me. Had a little bug when entering the settings screen where everything suddenly switched to russian.
