| How does this compare to Obsidian?
| inferense wrote:
| We like Obsidian a lot, but I believe we are taking a slightly
| different direction.
|
| 1. we believe in a tight integration of Markdown and tasks - a
| knowledge base should be executable. When it's not you end up
| with 2 disconnected tools
|
| 2. our focus is on developers where we feel the unaddressed
| need for a tool that prioritises dev user experience. We see
| this especially in the collaborative setting where devs use
| tools like Jira & Confluence etc.
|
| On the other hand, we also believe in the modular approach and
| extensibility.

| I've tried using Acreom for a couple of my projects. The app defo
| has potential. However, I could not wrap my head around their
| concept of "inbox". In Acreom, the "inbox" means all the
| unscheduled tasks. However, in my workflows, I often juggle
| multiple projects at once, and not all tasks have a set date yet,
| or I just want to do them "sometime in the future". The inbox is
| cluttered and useless as I see the same tasks repetedly until I
| schedule them.
|
| In my head (and, I am sure, in the heads of other GTG users,
| too), inbox is just a parking lot for all the not yet organised
| tasks. Once a day, I go through my inbox, assign all the tasks to
| the coresponding projects and MAYBE schedule them. In this sense,
| Acreom does not support my workflow :(
|
| However, as I see the upsides of having tasks intercalated with
| project notes, I'd consider giving Acreom one more go once a
| better task organising system is implemented.

| This looks awesome, I'm definitely going to try it.

| Microsoft, Deep Mind

| With all these wiki apps coming out, I'm disappointed that Bear
| is still the only one that focuses on images.
|
| I keep notes about design and photography, but even for non-
| visual topics, I like to add an image, just so that my brain can
| make an association between it and the topic. For example, a logo
| or a screenshot of the landing page.
|
| Because Bear displays one or two images in the note list, I feel
| like I can more easily scan it.

| Just saw you have Mermaid integration. I'm a heavy diagrammer, so
| thanks for that! Any thoughts on integrating with draw.io?
| inferense wrote:
| draw.io is awesome, we will probably integrate it as a
| community plugin!

| This is crazy - I've been working on a similar app that ties a
| daily journal with tasks & calendar (https://daybird.app).
| There's another one I saw recently called reflect.app as well.
| Note taking has been around forever, I wonder what it is about
| this space that's triggering so many new products. Anyways,
| Acreom looks fantastic, good luck with the launch!

| Awesome app. Love it.
|
| Tightly integrates with my calendar. Easy, keyboard driven divide
| and conquer for my documents into tasks. Way better than all the
| other knowledge base apps.

| thanks! we have just released beta

|
| let us know what you think!

| Hi HN, founder of acreom here. After over a year of building,
| we're excited to drop the beta badge and introduce acreom 1.0.
|
| The HN community was very helpful for us from the very beginning.
| We've recieved hundreds of signups on our google forms before
| writing the first line of code and a valuable feedback on our
| ideas throughout our beta.
|
| We're building acreom to be the dev-first workflow tool you will
| love using, individually and later in the team. Today acreom is
| built to be your daily driver for capturing notes, breaking down
| development tasks, tracking progress and building a knowledge
| base.
|
| acreom is built around the following fundemantal principles:
|
| tight integration of markdown, tasks and calendar
|
| capture-first organise-later interface
|
| designed for keyboard
|
| local-first
|
| you can try it out in your browser without downloading anything.
|
| if there's anything we can do better, pelase let us know.
|
| we're also on producthunt [1]

| Hi, co-creator of acreom here. It's known issue and we are

| Amazing. I would consider making an official Youtube channel, and
| uploading some video tutorials there. Many people prefer video
| tutorials over good ol articles. Also , maybe a way to turn
| telemetry on/off? I really love I can use Acreom without any type
| of account. If you add E2EE in the premium plans many offline
| first users will get it for sure (at least I will). I didn't get
| super deep there, but is it possible to have an account with you
| and after buying a premium plan, just use an activation
| code/license, instead of logging in?

| Edit: typo

| Thanks for the suggestions. E2EE sync is on our roadmap. We
| have made the first step by adding login with email/password
| (secure remote password protocol). At the moment account is
| required for having pro features.
