I’m Yousuf, the developer behind NerdyNote - a markdown-first note-taking app built specifically for developers.
As a developer, I grew frustrated juggling notes across apps that didn’t play well with Git or respect plaintext. I wanted something simple: a tool that saves directly to my GitHub repos as markdown files, where I can keep my personal notes in the private repo and also have the option to manage notes in a community in public notes. Nothing revolutionary, just what I wished existed.
Thank you for your support. I hope you like what I built.
I built this because, most programmers just want to write notes quickly without worrying about design or formatting. But readable notes can make a big difference in understanding and collaboration.
I built NerdyNotes to make this easier. It uses Markdown, which many developers are already familiar with, and automatically applies simple styling with shortcuts with no extra effort needed.
With GitHub sync, your notes are always backed up in your private repo. You can also create teams and use a shared repo to collaborate on notes together.
It's a small tool, built with the hope of making note-taking simpler and more useful for developers.

@musfk really cool. wishing you the very best with the launch
I am curious why the app is only available on mobile devices as a native app? I do the majority of my development on a laptop and a desktop, which I suspect is true of the majority of developers. Do you have plans to offer a web version? Or perhaps a VSCode extension?
📝 The ultimate note-taking powerhouse for developers! This app seamlessly blends functionality and elegance—sync with GitHub, write in crisp Markdown, and access your docs from anywhere. Perfect for coders who demand efficiency and style. Your second brain just got an upgrade! 🚀
Congrats on launching NerdyNotes! As a dev, this "by devs, for devs" tool hits the sweet spot! GitHub sync + plaintext MD files solve the fragmentation pain perfectly. Love how it balances private repos with potential community-building through public notes—genius move! Quick ideas: Mobile editing could shine with keyboard shortcuts, and a team collaboration layer (PR-style reviews?) would make it unstoppable. Already upvoted—can’t wait to see where this goes! 🚀
NerdyNotes has been a game changer for managing my technical issues. Its Markdown interface lets me quickly jot down troubleshooting steps, document persistent problems, and keep my API docs and guides in sync with my work. It’s streamlined my workflow and become an indispensable tool in my development process.
