alt Hacker News>with all vibe coding in the world today you still need at least 6 months full time to build a nice note taking app.
Bad example, note apps loaded with features are anti-productive and are for people who treat note taking as a hobby itself.
You have Obsidian anyway if you want something open source to work with.

Ah, note taking as hobby finally explains to me why these apps seem so popular. I don't think I have ever considered that I need one. And it to be something that shouldn't be fully solved multiple times now. But it really being hobby does kinda make the point for me.

obsidian isn't open source
I don't disagree, but I found it ironic I built ZenPlan, my ideal hybrid task/notetaking app, in about 50 hours with Claude Code this month after being frustrated with notebook and task management sprawl in OneNote. www.getzenplan.com
