Top comment

I’m Yousuf, the developer behind NerdyNote - a markdown-first note-taking app built specifically for developers. As a developer, I grew frustrated juggling notes across apps that didn’t play well with Git or respect plaintext. I wanted something simple: a tool that saves directly to my GitHub repos as markdown files, where I can keep my personal notes in the private repo and also have the option to manage notes in a community in public notes. Nothing revolutionary, just what I wished existed. Thank you for your support. I hope you like what I built.

📝 The ultimate note-taking powerhouse for developers! This app seamlessly blends functionality and elegance—sync with GitHub, write in crisp Markdown, and access your docs from anywhere. Perfect for coders who demand efficiency and style. Your second brain just got an upgrade! 🚀

Congrats on launching NerdyNotes! As a dev, this "by devs, for devs" tool hits the sweet spot! GitHub sync + plaintext MD files solve the fragmentation pain perfectly. Love how it balances private repos with potential community-building through public notes—genius move!
Quick ideas: Mobile editing could shine with keyboard shortcuts, and a team collaboration layer (PR-style reviews?) would make it unstoppable. Already upvoted—can’t wait to see where this goes! 🚀

Congratulations Yousuf on launching NerdyNote! Love how you solved a real problem you faced as a developer. The Git integration is brilliant - keeping notes in markdown files right in our repos is exactly what many of us have been wanting. The private/public repo options make perfect sense for personal vs community notes. Elegant solution to a common frustration! Excited to try this out and see my notes living happily alongside my code where they belong.

Congrats on the launch! Beautiful webpage! Don't forget to change the old twitter icon and url!

I am curious why the app is only available on mobile devices as a native app? I do the majority of my development on a laptop and a desktop, which I suspect is true of the majority of developers. Do you have plans to offer a web version? Or perhaps a VSCode extension?

a cool little tool, @musfk.


what are your aspirations for it? no secret that there are prob millions note-taking apps out there. why build another one?
