Viewing this incorrectly flags my primary browser into the infinite tarpit but not a different browser. Perhaps a little too aggressive or not discerning enough?

Interesting when taken together with things like the story from the other day about emerging AI/ML-based acoustic keystroke attacks against, which mentioned being trainable via Zoom calls: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37013704 / https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-acoustic-...

Kudos for building a thing! Forgive the terse feedback, but I figure you wouldn’t post here if you weren’t seeking it. Quick thoughts:

A) Without providing a viable option for mobile (or even via a web UI on mobile), my guess would be that a desktop-client-only solution (like this appears to be?) is going to be a non-starter for a significant number of your potential audience. To me, cross-platform doesn’t just mean cross-desktop-OS - If something says cross-platform my personal expectation is that means desktop/mobile/web.

B) If your top-level value proposition is a focus on privacy and security, people are naturally going to ask further questions about the details. For example: - What encryption is being used here, and how? - If data isn’t stored on external servers, how do “your notes sync effortlessly”? What mechanism makes it possible to “access your data from any device, anywhere”? - How do I get my data OUT of this thing, if I decide it isn’t right for me?

C) If you’re going to go down the “unlike other note-taking platforms” route, it might be valuable to explicitly help people make the comparison in terms of features/approaches/architecture/trade-offs etc. How should one compare this against [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md)? [Simplenote](https://simplenote.com)? [Logseq](https://logseq.com/)? [Zettlr](https://www.zettlr.com/)? [Standard Notes](https://standardnotes.com)? Notion/Google Keep/Evernote/Workflowy/Dynalist etc?

Quick TL;DR:

• Building products for the web for ~20 years — remember frames? spacer gifs? CGI? ActiveX/Flash? I do ^_^

• Product design at GitHub - My claim to fame is that while on the core team as an IC (~2012–2016), I was the 13th highest overall contributor to the github/github codebase by commit count.

• Product design at Intercom - First hire for London office, led major redesign of Messenger, led design of first ML-based chatbot product.

• Coach for Seth Godin’s altMBA

• Various adventures since pandemic/onset of apocalypse.

Seeking full-time roles, ideally focused on ML/AI space (although open to other areas, e.g. climate change, OSS/open data, web3, etc). Excited to help shape/design/build the infrastructure which will soon be at the core of how AI (and other high leverage tech) shapes the world. Especially keen to speak with anyone focused on AI safety/interfaces/governance.

Any repo’s browser’s address bar URL will work as a git clone URL too, if that’s easier for you.

You can also append `?s="your message here"` to use it to say something other than one of the GitHub Zen messages.

This is merely a shortcut to accessing verified public keys for our users, not a bug. Saves having to ask people for their public SSH keys when giving them access to something, just `curl https://github.com/<user>.keys` instead :)

The main way to get to the compare view is from the branches page:

1. View the branches page: https://github.com/github/markup/branches 2. Click the "Compare" button next to a branch. 3. On the following page there’s a control at the top where you can change the comparison range to compare any branch, tag, or SHA with any other.

Hope that helps!

There's also an "automatic page generator" button if you go to your repository settings, where you can even pick from pre-designed themes :)

Yes. Each rename (and any updates to content that happen at the same time) is just a new commit on the branch you do the edit on. It should produce identical history to doing the same operation via the command-line :)

We don't assume anything. New employees here at GitHub can choose whichever platform they prefer—it just so happens that most people here go for Macs of their own accord :)
