MinkNote's documentation is written in MinkNote. I edit notes locally, run one agent skill, and the docs section of my website regenerates - 19 pages, images, cross-links, sidebar nav. 16 seconds. No second toolchain. No stale docs. muse23.com/posts/docs-writte…

Keeping MinkNote stable as it grows. As new features are added, more of the app is being automatically tested before every release. Here’s a sped-up look behind the scenes. New features are good. Regressions aren’t.

Interesting how note-taking tools are starting to focus less on adding features... and more on removing friction 📝 1️⃣ @MinkNoteApp Built around plain Markdown files that stay on your Mac. No accounts, no proprietary database, no vendor lock-in. Just a fast, local-first workspace for notes, journals, and projects that remains under your control. 2️⃣ @SideNotesApp Takes a different approach by keeping notes just one click away on the edge of the screen. Great for capturing ideas, to-dos, or snippets without breaking focus, even while working in full-screen apps. Both solve the same problem, but in very different ways: 🔒 Own every note forever vs. ⚡ Capture every thought instantly Curious... which approach fits your workflow better? A. Local-first Markdown notes B. Always-on quick notes C. A mix of both @m_krzywonos @demianturner
