So you actually mentioned web3, but not the technology from it that is most interesting to me for this problem.
I’m hopeful that “decentralized identity” is a solution here.
In theory this would let people cryptographically prove whatever small fact about themselves they would like to share with a service provider like marginalia, without paying you, or sharing their identity, or anything else.
Eg: “I am a human”, or “I have written less that 100k words on the Internet” or “my comments have an upvote average above zero”
First result had a recipe I could see both recipe and directions in a single page, no ads, no scrolling, no fake seo anecdotes about kids and grandmas.
(Pls make the search query box fit small mobile devices)
I love markdown. It’s been my primary way of taking notes for many years.
A key benefit of the format to me is that text files will never be deprecated and are infinitely portable.
I saw mentioned a local cache. Would you add a pitch or squeeze page on this topic to help convince users like me? I want to love your product. The scrolling alone; beautiful.
Example user stories:
* can always see all notes as simple, well named, plainly organized, easy to read text files.
* Can output/sync certain folders of notes to plain text files. (To, for example, a Dropbox folder target)
I want to start using this, but I'm concerned what happens when a service changes their domain.
When the domain changes, even subtly like from api.foo.com to www.foo.com, it will break my ability to access the site. If I do not remember the previous URL, I will not be able to recover it.
