GitJournal/GitJournal
GitJournal
GitJournal is a mobile-first note-taking application and self-hosted manager for creating a structured markdown knowledge base. It functions as a git-synced notebook, allowing users to organize long-term information and notes as markdown files with metadata.
The system ensures data portability and ownership by storing notes in a private version control repository. This approach enables cross-device synchronization and consistency through the use of git operations.
The application supports digital note migration by importing data from third-party services into a local markdown format. It further manages information through a local-first file system and knowledge graph indexing to facilitate non-linear navigation.
