|
| It's not just insensitive if it's insensitive to _you_.

|
| To me, the key differentiating feature, that made it better

| that, 10 years from now, if you want to migrate to a hosted
| solution, you can (since everything is plaintext at the deepest
| level, migration-out should be easy).
|
| It has mobile clients / multiple-device-sync, too. And it's
| easy to manage, because it's just git under the hood.
|
| I hadn't heard of them before doing some deep searching in this
| space recently. It's a product with zero marketing budget, but
| a good-sized community, so you wouldn't hear of it unless you
| were googling search terms in the space.

| Also, since this is HN, I'm looking for a marketing cofounder.

|
| As far as I understand you're using it as the primary interface
| for all your data, but in case you want to import some external
| data sources too, you might be interested in a project I started
| [0]. You can take periodic snapshots of you online data, and then
| use it as a fully offline programmatic API to integrate with
| other services, and potentially use in your dashboard as well.
| Perhaps if you glance at the diagram [1] it might become clearer
| how it fits :)
