This is pretty cool, novel idea and great implementation. I would love to see markdown support!

Hi Product Hunt! I built this simple note taking web app over the holiday season to use as a way to keep track of ideas, tasks and other random things in a browser tab. The premise was pretty straight forward. Challenge myself to write something in vanilla JS, throwing popular and complex frameworks to the wind, and create a satisfying interaction using a grid-based layout. If you have any feedback or encounter any bugs, please make an issue on Github. Currently dark mode and few smaller improvements are planned for the next release. Enjoy! EDIT: It's been almost a year since Manifest came out, and I've been starting to roll some ideas around in my head for what the next version of the product could be. If you have at some point found this small and simple web app useful I'd love to hear your thoughts (in the form of two simple questions!) to help shape what might be to come. https://forms.gle/6BVoB6cpjTjQ9FBaA

@jonathontoon Cool! How data is stored? Cookies?

Love the simplicity. No login required. Nice job, @jonathontoon.

Love this. but with data being local storage I feel like I could only really use it for something that I'm not too worried about losing. I wonder if you could be creative with allowing users to 'save' their data but still not worrying about implementing typical accounts and sign ins. What sprung to mind was having a 'save & dowload' which downloads the data to your local machine, then an upload to reupload it if necessary. That way I could switch machines, or even share my notes with someone else. Just a fun little idea, instead of going down the heavy, bulky accounts and database route

@simongabriel Exporting/importing would be absolutely possible, but just feels like a lot of over engineering for what Manifest actually is. From the beginning I've had to wrestle with the the desire to make it more than it needs to be, like some hardcore thing that should hold notes for you forever. But I always landed on the side of making something that you need in the moment, that doesn't require much commitment or questions to get started. Had it been anything different I probably would've made it an online service with accounts that people pay for. Because by that point you'd expect it to work a certain way.

Cool idea Jonathon - agree with nahtnam that markdown support would be a great feature!

Love the simple and elegant UI. And I would love it even more, if I can paste images/links, making it an essential tool for research

@pavisj Agreed, hyperlinks and pasting images from the clipboard would be awesome!
