would love to see a self hosted ginko. It used to be that there was a lot of self hosted project, now everyone wants to keep you data... I wonder if the trend will change again.

I'd like to try it, but I'm also not going to sign up for an online note/research app to use seriously. I want assurances that my notes are on my devices, read only by me, and, after a shitty experience with Notes.app this week, I'm going to be refusing any app that silos data and/or uses an unpublished nonstandard format.

Understood. We're planning on adding offline support, and a "Chrome Packaged App" version, so you could use Gingko offline entirely, and our servers will never touch your data.

As for the format, we simply export to flat Markdown. We will be supporting other formats (including XML, and the OPML standard for hierarchical/outline text).

Thanks for your feedback!

How about putting the code on github and let users run their own version of gingko on their own servers? i would like to see that..
