| Seems like a simpler version of TiddlyWiki1, which is free.

| It might worth a try for those who prefer less features

| (that's a bit of a rabbit hole though).
|
| plain text markdown is imo the place to be.

| I'm not sure you can charge people for what amounts to a
| <textarea> that makes a git commit. Seems like you're sharing
| this a bit early, since there's only one app despite the FAQ
| sounding like there's a whole ecosystem.

| I just looked at GitJournal now, first time hearing of it.

| Cheers
| vhanda wrote:
| It currently supports Markdown, Txt Files, and OrgMode. The
| OrgMode is thanks to an app called Orgzly [0] whose Widgets

| working on letting you open any text file [1], but I won't
| make a release of this until early next week.
|
| I'm literally working right now on removing more of the
| code which assumed all notes would be in Markdown format,
| and make GitJournal open to supporting any.
|
| If you try it out, please let me know how it did for your
| use case. I'm just getting started with OrgMode.
