kobble··on Show HN: Kobble – Notes app that saves directly to GitHub
As a side note, Kobble was created with 100% Purescript. Highly recommended.

Fair enough. Naming is hard. Even 'project' has connotations.

That's precisely why we use GitHub. It's unlikely to be gone tomorrow. No data is stored on our servers. In fact, we don't even see it. The data is transferred directly from your browser to GitHub.

By 'own', we mean that no data is stored on our servers. The goal is privacy and to protect your data.

Kobble can be used for much more than just notes. You organize 'tracks', which are more like projects. Tracks can contain notes, but also more meaningful content. Anything you can create with markdown (plus links, etc.)

Fair enough. We merged the channel/playlist concept.

You create content using Markdown with Kobble. The content can be rendered as simple markdown or as slide decks. Our landing page was created with Kobble as a markdown slide deck.

If you log in (with GitHub), you'll see the rest of the UI.

The model is very similar to other popular apps, like YouTube or Spotify. Instead of organizing songs or videos into channels, you organize tracks.

Everything in Kobble can be shared. Channels are there to organize tracks - your tracks and tracks from other users.

Kobble can be used for much more than just note taking. It's meant to share meaningful content with other users. A track is like a project, and channels make it easy to share them.

As you mention, a track is like a project. It's a tree of items, and the items can be markdown, presentations, links, etc.

Channels are for organizing tracks. Everything in Kobble can be shared. So say you make a track for some project and want to share it. Another user can add your track to a channel to follow it.

It's similar to sharing in YouTube or Spotify, except that instead of grouping videos or songs in channels, you're grouping tracks.
