Show HN: RawStr Notes – The missing notebook for developers

by 0b01 on 8/16/21, 8:05 AM with 1 comments

Hi HN,

I built RawStr Notes(https://rawstr.com/) as a replacement for Google Keep, Apple Notes, Evernote, etc.. It's an executable notebook based on VSCode's Monaco editor where everything can be scripted.

1. My typical workflow is copying text out of $NOTE_TAKING_APP to VS Code(for Vim) and back. RawStr saves the roundtrip by integrating VSCode's Monaco editor in the browser.

2. I save a list of restaurants to try on $NOTE_TAKING_APP. However, I get major decision fatigue trying to pick one at random. So I made this tool to help me run random.choice(restaurants)

So I built RawStr Notes.

    RawStr Notes solved a personal pain point with all the cloud-based notebook currently. Hopefully this could be of use to other software developers. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
