Textpod is a simple UI on top of a single notes.md file + a few features I always wanted:
- add + in front of a link to fetch a local copy of the page (downloaded in the background using monolith[1])
- search is integrated into the note input, just start typing with /
- attach images and other files (stored in 'attachments' directory)
I made a 1-minute demo video (no sound) [2].
When you start the binary, the data is served from the current directory: the notes file and the attachments directory are created automatically. Run multiple instances from different directories, if needed (I do that to separate work and personal notes).
It's a very rough initial version thrown together on a Sunday evening. I hope to add nicer error messages and some customizations later.

It reminds me of TiddlyWiki which has just turned 20 (I just found out).
By the way TiddlyWiki is a great example of something simple and brilliant that has turned into something very complex and intimidating over time (hard to use on mobile). So I guess it was time to start from a blank page.
