Let's wrap it up, guys, it's clickbait. There's no repo here

sry, the source code is here

@shahin_aziimov Double rug… post GitHub

@shahin_aziimov Hey bro, open-source does not mean "create an repo on Github", it literally means "open source code". If you click into the profile page(maybe after login), you will find out we opened every line of the code, and you can easily fork and customize.

@shahin_aziimov Open source means anyone can read the code without logging in, under an OSI license, and fork it anywhere. "Click into the profile, maybe after login" is a product page.

@shahin_aziimov Hey Bro, you have to log in to Github to view the code, and Github is owned by Microsoft

I'll stick with Notion, thanks. It was developed by real humans who know how to program and they don't engage in clickbait nonsense like this. Stop responding to people in a loop and post your GitHub repo link so it can be inspected by real experts. That's if it even exists. And delete your account, clown. 🙄

Hey, this is the link of the profile page and the source code: I am also a real human, and I want to create softwares that I like and want to use

No, that is an SEO branded mockup page for code which does not exist in reality. And if you did actually manage to get your agent, you do not know how to use or properly refactor because you lack any talent, it is likely replete with backdoors, vulnerable functions and is probably downloading malware at a frightening rate into your IDE. STOP TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE AND DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU NPC!

Just tried, and it is actually usable. This looks great!

thx! Will keep updating!

open source but no repo?

sry, forget mention, the source code is here

> 100% Open source > look inside > no source mfw

No repo?

promise you this isn't what makes notion, notion

So you think a great idea should not make a profit?

I think great ideas should make profits, but they should stop making profits when the ideas are not great anymore. Sometimes, profits are made initially because of great ideas, then later profits are made from monoply.

So, copying the genius idea of someone who dedicated his life to figuring out document ergonomics is morally justified because he has a majority share of the market? Look, I am not trying to say it's pointless to compete, but to "kill" the product? That you copy every step?

Hey bro relax, we all want better softwares right? I create my own, and share with folks, and hope others like it, and everything is free.

What?! Creating a product, or even copying one, and making it free to deliver value to users is not an issue. It's the toxicity of "we just killed product X". Maybe it's unprofessionalism or lack of class, whatever. Doing something to "kill" is a bad wrap. "It's a vote for W in order to get rid of Y" as opposed to "vote for X cause it solves your problems better". Anyway, good luck.

Wait, so they were gracious enough to let you visit their offices in August, you had a nice time there ig. And your response was to build a clone and "kill" them with you open-but-not-open source app? How sick can humanity get.

Hey, open-sourced link is here. If you use the app, you will notice there is a link to its profile page

Why do I have to login to see the code? Shady AF.

sry, will update this ASAP.

the right way of using AI, open source every product and stop paying companies for nothing

We not only open-source every product, but AI is also helping us to create better products!

Lol I pay Notion for the innovation pace, upkeep trustworthiness, and compliance. People have to learn the hard way I suppose.

That's why we think it would be better if everyone can just fork and customize their own version

You wont kill Notion. Your UI is shit.

I'm sorry man, but that doesn't look good at all.

sry forget to update the dark mode for this page, will update ASAP

nope.

Bro, if you do not sign up to use, where do we keep your data?

If we're all going down we might aswell take the big apps down with us.

The era of personal and democratized software is coming

bro, since it’s open-source, could you share the link to your repository? If you can, I’d be happy to create a post to promote it.

sry, forget to add the link, the source code is here

after sign in crashed Fhaaaa

looks cool!

thx bro😆😆 let me know if you have any feature requests!

NOT OPEN SOURCED 🤣

oops, the profile page is here

Looks good! Did you use notion to plan this?

No, I use Obsidian

Where's the repo link?

Check the profile page!

Cool product!!

thx bro!

No thanks

That’s why Saas is kinda destined to be doomed

Were can I find the repo ? 👀👀👀

Why is everyone into killing other people? Just announce your product without the violence.

Where is the repository?

You guys did something amazing

behind a login? fuck no..

Bro, if you do not sign up, where do we store your notes?

I don't... i read the repo and have my clankers have a crack at it if I find it interesting enough aka forking an open-source repo... :) which this is clearly not..

I understand what you want... However, we decide not to open-source on Github, because our open-source strategy is different: we release the source code on our platform, and everyone can easily fork and customize their version

ah so why did u decide not to open-source it?

thanks for making this free and open source! here's my fork:

Love that the data stays yours and you can point it at Claude. Small service businesses need exactly this: free, simple notes for SOPs and job checklists. Featuring it on @ExpanseVentures tomorrow.

'Point it to your Claude' is the interesting promise. A chatbot for every notebook feels like hiring a receptionist for each filing cabinet.

Portable notes and the freedom to bring Claude along are very much my thing 💜

not even close to Notion mate

Exactly. I am creating an opinionated note-taking app, not an app that has notes, AI, mail, etc
