I've recently finished the first version of Git Notes and been using it for a week now. So, I'd like to share it with you.

Git Notes is a golang app that monitors a directory and keep pushing changes to a remote git repo.

There are 3 advantages:

1. The permanence of your notes feels much higher. It's on Github, Gitlab, or your own Git host. Over the years, I've used many note taking apps (e.g. Evernote, SimpleNote, Joplin), and they don't feel "forever". When something is stored on Github, for me, it feels more "forever".

2. Conflicts are handled in a familiar way for programmers. Git Notes simply merges and commits without resolving conflicts. You'll see the Git-style conflict text showing up in your notes.

3. You can use your own editor. I like writing on Sublime, so I want to use Sublime editor. I'm sure you have your own fav editor as well.

The app is still in an early stage. Test coverage is great. But I'd love to get early users who are willing to install Git Notes (using systemd and launchd) and help me battle-test the app.

Any feedback and comment is welcome. Thank you!
