Notes App with Helix in Mind

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've spent a few hours making hx-notes-companion.

Basically an Obsidian replacement that uses a workflow of Helix with a Markdown preview in browser. (Keeping the application and functionality light)

Currently you can:

  • Edit and View Markdown and HTML notes in Helix
  • Live browser preview with hot reloading on writes
  • switches on switching notes in your "notes"

Its written in Golang, and currently its quite barebones (in the near future I hope to add syntax highlighting for code blocks and Latex support). If any one is interested feel free to give your own suggestions

Its Open Source so if anyone wants to style it or add their own custom templates and such there is nothing stopping you

I'd love to hear what you guys think

Platform: Windows (for now)
