An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
The article is a user comment on Hacker News praising the 'Ichinichi' app - a local-first, browser-based, end-to-end encrypted note-taking application that limits users to one note per day, positioning it more as a diary than traditional note-taking software. The commenter appreciates the app's design, concept, open-source nature, and simplicity, comparing it favorably to another minimalist notes app called antinote that they've used for over a year.

· 5 pulledLove it! The name, the design, the concept, the open source codebase, everything!
It's less like a note taking app and more like a diary writing app. I think that's very neat and has its own niche.
Love the local-first, browser-based nature of it.
It's the only notes app that I haven't uninstalled or forgotten about. I think the simplicity of it is what draws me to it.
I feel it aligns with your philosophy for this app!
