This is amazing , really brings me back to those sweet old days. Just curious, is this built with any JS framework ? the code looks like its vanilla JS !! which is fantastic .. and is it open source / Github project ?


Thank you all for the great feedback you have given me. Please join the CodeOwl subreddit to stay in touch, I will be posting updates over there for all the features requested in this thread !

Happy Coding


We got quite a bit of traffic , and the target group is perfect for codeowl, also the feedback has been overwhelming and mostly positive. I think Show HN is a great idea for dev tools


As someone planning to do a "Show HN", understanding what "quite a bit of traffic" means, would be helpful. Can you could divulge more details? Happy you got positive feedback. Seems like a good idea for a tool, and nicely implemented. Thanks.


I guess it's all relative , but we recieved about 7200 unique user sessions in 2 days from HN. Let me know when your Show HN is published :)


Thanks. That's helpful.

My app, if you care to take a look now:

Search is a feature we are working on for the next update


export sounds like an awesome feature to add .. I guess the format of the exported data is something I'd have to think about


any format in particular ? .. JSON would be the most natural , XML is possible .. plain text probably the most useful


Whatever would be simple and stable. So yaeh, JSON seems to be the obvious choice. I guess Firebase or your web-framework is already using it internally?

Export is the natural downfall of every cloud-solution. Because if people have no way to get their data, many will not bother to bound with a closed up tool.


This seems to be the most consistent feedback we've had so far, so you can definitely expect tiling mode to come soon


No worries man. I love the initial site and concept. I can't wait to see more of it. I will show it to my team next week. I'd love to save screenshots and an autosave, I'm pretty forgetful.

I will continue to use it and give you guys feedback. Nice work!


I would say the most obvious difference is having all your notes / dashboards in the cloud, accessible through a web-browser, and being able to share them with others through a url


That would be so cool to have for Org mode, a version of emacs that runs in the browser where you can cloud-edit your org mode files.


very interesting .. I will be looking into that ! thank you


I like the localStorage persistence ! you can expect this feature to be there soon , thanks for the feedback


We were thinking of making a desktop client for codeowl , but chrome plugin might be even easier


Not just chrome. Some people use Firefox ;)

I tried it, it's promising. I'd like a desktop app/ browser plugin version too, I think. But don't take just my word for it... I'm not sure I'm a good client for this sort of app (e.g. I don't pay for Evernote, just use it within their "free" limitations)


yikes .. this is what happens when you ship ship ship ! thanks for the report
