AI Analysis

●●SolidShip It

Notion UI + GitHub storage, but missing auto-save and media upload.

Strengths
  • •GitHub as source of truth avoids vendor lock-in; native Markdown + Git workflows appeal to developers.
  • •Hybrid auth model (GitHub App for repo access, user OAuth for commits) is a thoughtful permission boundary.
  • •Working SaaS at pullnotes.com; can install locally; live and usable today.
Weaknesses
  • •Auto-save is missing (critical for web editors); file merge conflict handling not addressed.
  • •Notion and Obsidian already own this space; the differentiator is "Git-backed" which appeals only to developers who already live in GitHub.

Post Description

I prefer using Markdown files when taking notes or writing. Even more so these days when working with AI. So I thought I'd build a Notion clone on top of GitHub.

You can try it out at pullnotes.com, or install it yourself: https://github.com/hunvreus/pullnotes

It's not perfect, but good enough for me to use it.

This is on my todo:

- Auto-save - File merge - Media upload - Drag and drop for pages
