I know everybody has their own note-taking system and there are better ways to do this, but:

Whenever I need to make quick notes during a meeting, or paste some url / code / whatever to hold it, or paste formatted text to un-format it, I used to open TextEdit.

It's the equivalent of taking a scrap piece of paper and jotting something down.

These kinds of notes I don't want in any cloud, serious note-taking app or any code editor.

But the burden of having 1 extra click on open (new document), and deciding what to do with old notes when closing (delete? save?) was too much.

So I built my own notepad which behaves like a super simple textedit, but all notes are automatically saved to a predefined folder.

- Opens with a new note when launched, or re-opened.

- Notes can be auto-named by timestamp, numbered "Note N", custom prefix or by first line of text.

- Hideable sidebar shows all notes.

- Shortcuts can create, delete, switch between notes.

Bonus points for pointing claude code to that folder to organize or work with all notes.

Again: This is a custom app I made for myself, so probably it's not useful to anyone, but anyhow:

PS: This was built with the new Claude Code integration in xcode 26.3, worked quite well.

A split-pane Markdown editor that renders live preview with Tufte CSS. Sidenotes, margin notes, epigraphs, full-width figures, and BibTeX citations with autocomplete — all in standard Markdown extensions.

Documents are .md files on disk. Images are regular files. Exports to standalone HTML with Tufte CSS baked in — my use case is writing essays and uploading them directly to my personal site.

Zero dependencies, no npm install, no accounts, no build step. Just `node server.js`. ~7 files total.

Full disclosure in the README: I'm a researcher, not a JS developer, and the code was AI-generated. Contributions and code review welcome.

Hi HN — I built GPACalc to help students quickly calculate GPA/CGPA and convert GPA to percentage across different grading systems (4.0, 5.0, and 10.0).

It also lets you estimate cumulative results from current CGPA, completed credits, and expected semester grades. It’s free, no sign-up, and mobile-friendly.

I’d really value feedback on:

missing grading scales or country systems confusing parts of the UX features that would make this more useful for students/counselors

I'm a novice. I'm asking this question not to cause any argument. I need to set up an internal server for the company. Initially, there were 8 4T hard drives. In the future, depending on business growth, it may increase to 32 or more. As a novice, I learned some knowledge about storage pools on the Internet. Only two cases met the requirements. Softraid and LVM. However, it's impossible to determine which one is more suitable for my needs. Additionally, I noticed that both of these technologies haven't had major feature upgrades for a long time. They seem to be quite mature. So I sincerely would like to ask which of these two technologies is more suitable for me. Thank you very much. Regardless of which one you prefer, please don't argue. Thank you again.
