  • HelixNotes now on Android, same Rust + Tauri codebase

  • No, notes are plain .md files on your disk. Encryption was never the goal.

  • Definitely, yes. I'm trying to tackle them one by one.

  • Windows 11 Notepad to support Markdown

    Jump

  • The fact you need a guide to get a working Notepad and Paint back says everything about the state of Windows 11 and Microsoft.

  • The Age Verification Trap... Verifying user’s ages undermines everyone’s data protection

    Jump

  • The age verification trap is just a symptom. The real disease is tech illiterate legislators making decisions about internet infrastructure.

  • Thanks, appreciate it!

  • Great! Thanks for the feedback.

    All 3 enhancements noted. Will be implemented in next release.

    Update: The line shortcuts and line numbers will be in the next release. The side-by-side/split view requires a significant architecture refactor, so that one will take longer - it's on the roadmap but not for the immediate next release.

  • I'm thinking about the mobile app in terms of how already. But it's definitely on the roadmap.

  • Electron came first and has a massive ecosystem. Most apps were built before Tauri was mature enough. Switching frameworks is expensive, so existing apps stay on Electron. New projects are increasingly picking Tauri though.

  • Tauri is an alternative to Electron. Both are frameworks for building desktop apps with web technologies, but Electron bundles a full Chromium browser (which is why Electron apps use so much RAM). Tauri uses your OS's native webview instead, much smaller, much lighter. Both are open source. The difference is resource usage.

  • Obsidian's default editor is barebones, you need plugins to get a usable experience. HelixNotes gives you rich editing out of the box: formatting toolbar, slash commands, source mode toggle. No setup. It's also not Electron. Rust + Tauri 2.0 & Svelte fraction of the RAM, launches instantly. Same philosophy though: local .md files, no cloud, no lock-in. If Obsidian works for you, no reason to switch.

  • Not like Typora, no. HelixNotes has a WYSIWYG editor and a source mode toggle, two separate views. Not inline markdown rendering.

  • You have both - the WYSIWYG editor and a way to switch to the Markdown editor.
