I made a local web-based notes app in the spirit of "One Big Text File"

Textpod is a simple UI on top of a single notes.md file + a few features I always wanted: - add + in front of a link to fetch a local copy of the page (downloaded in the background using monolith[1]) - search is integrated into the note input, just start typing with / - attach images and other files (stored in 'attachments' directory) I made a 1-minute demo video (no sound) [2]. When you start the binary, the data is served from the current directory: the notes file and the attachments directory are created automatically. Run multiple instances from different directories, if needed (I do that to separate work and personal notes). It's a very rough initial version thrown together on a Sunday evening. I hope to add nicer error messages and some customizations later. [1] https://crates.io/crates/monolith [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAqJJxaJNVM
