Just for fun I checked where that position would be on world map. Turns out it's in the Atlantic, quite a bit off the east coast of the US.

On: Ask HN: What are you working on?

[pretzelhands]

I'm currently focused on dusting off my old blog and getting some new posts out.

I ended up accidentally building my own (somewhat cursed) static page generator in PHP. It's probably not super portable, but it does the job of taking some Markdown and Mustache files and putting together a site.

And since I was super minimalist about it, the site is really fast. So that makes me happy!

As the guy who made it: Since yesterday it is. Not that it’s a particularly shiny piece of code to look at

Maybe a bit late, but chiming in here to say that prosemirror in general is absolutely amazing. Used it to build my own note taking app, highly recommended.

Thanks for making Notebag, I just tried it out and love how straightforward it is! I hope you'll consider adding math support in the future! Feel free to use my math plugin [1] as a starting point, it's MIT licensed. (still under development, but it's solid enough to use already)

Hi! I'm currently working on note sync as it is one of the most requested features so far.

As for the trial ending: You will have the possibility to export all your notes as Markdown once the trial ends, so you're not locked in.

A mobile version is also planned for the future, currently researching on the best approach!

Sorry for the slew of questions and thank you for the answers! I am checking it out :D

Hi, sadly I don't have a full video demo right now, but there are 6 short demos on the landing page you can check out!

Hi Hacker News!

I built Notebag because I got a bit sick of other note taking apps breaking my workflow. I wanted something that I could quickly show and hide and that would allow me to jot down Markdown, so I could have a bit of structure.

And then Notebag happened! I hope you'll find it useful.

Hi HN!

I'm the Austrian dude featured in this article. Since last time it generated a bunch of discussions I thought it might be nice to hop on here.

If you have any further questions you want to ask, go ahead.

On: Show HN: jinx – a magical nginx wrapper

[pretzelhands]

Hello Hacker News!

I recently accidentally crashed my entire infrastructure with Caddy server. Thus I had to quickly switch to nginx to get my sites back up.

While dealing with the nginx setup process I found it super annoying to switch between the various commands all the times

(ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/ .., vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/ .., systemctl restart nginx, ..)

So I built this little wrapper around the commands to streamline the process!

I hope you find it useful and give it a shot on your local dev setup or similar!
