I think it’s legit. The site doesn’t seem to be selliing anything.
Here are their tips:
You can still create open hotspots and have those services running on a server if you wanted. It doesn’t need to be connected to the internet.
Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.
According to Wikipedia: The World’s Billionaires, there are 3,428 billionaires in the world.
According to Fortune, there are 928 billionaires in the USA.
According to California Billionaire Wealth Tracker there are 250 billionaires in California. This number fluctuates from 248 to 255 depending on their investments and how many private jet flights they take to Epstein Island 2.
No worries man.
This is just a guess but with open source operating systems, it can and will probably be bypassed. I’m sure people will make forks without verification.
With closed source, probably not the most updated ones.
This bill, if passed, will force operating systems to verify the age of the user. This means the verification uses a government issued ID.
This basically makes using VPNs for privacy useless. Now they will have a record of every IP address you ever used. They can also use local laws internationally. Like if your state has age verification or bans certain sites, they can just use your ID to ban those websites or apps even if you aren’t in the country.
This is horribly bad…
Not ideal since you can’t easily sort by folder hierarchy but you can see your root files in All Notes.
Thank you for the explanation.
I will continue to use it and provide feedback. So far, really great.
I nearly take all my notes in markdown. I am always excited to try another open source markdown program.
HelixNotes is super polished.
Thanks!
Interesting. Thank you for the info.
Me again. Last time tonight, I promise.
My favorite features so far, making the edit toolbar disappear in source mode and Focus mode. Quick access is also really useful.
One more thing I don’t like, it was adding a header to my edited notes.
Example:
---
id: "9242199e-992b-4c58-9b4f-85a6949d424d"
title: "Books"
tags: []
pinned: false

This doesn’t look great in MacOS preview. This might be one of those things that it was simplest to just add this directly to the file rather than creating some kind of database or a bunch of dot files. Again, not a deal breaker for me. Would adding it to the bottom be possible instead?
Thank you.
Hi OP. I am really enjoying using HelixNotes.
I love the way it looks and all the features. I was able to use the same folder I use MarkFlowy and Marknote.
My only critique is the Ctrl key in Windows and Linux menu shortcuts is usually changed to Cmd for Mac. It really isn’t a big deal but I think a lot of Mac users will notice this instantly. I tried creating an note with Cmd + N since is the default for all other Mac apps. I saw the Shortcuts in the Info section and I was hoping you could customize the Keyboard Shortcuts, but you can’t.
It isn’t a big deal with me. So far I am enjoying this more than MarkFlowy and Marknote. If you don’t change for whatever reason, I understand and I will continue to use your HelixNotes.
Again thank you for your work.
Mac user her. I’ve been using Markflowy after MacDown stopped development. I will give this a shot.
Thank you for your work.
Hmm. Interesting. I assumed libel was for anything published. My mistake. Thank for the info.
Celebs should sue for libel.
They tried to destroy it over and over again.
I don’t like Elon Musk but I am glad the attention that Tesla got forced a lot of companies to create electric vehicles.
As the U.S. government decided to restrict some technologies to China, it should have been more serious about these restrictions. But due to a somewhat permissive licensing policy maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, due to the Chinese firms being able to smuggle or buy these technologies on the black market, due to the fierce resilience of companies like Huawei that refused to fail, and due to the very extensive lobbying efforts of American companies to continue to supply to Chinese customers, the export control policy was severely weakened.
I never really thought about the black market. If each country has a different tariff depending on their relationship to this administration, then a country that doesn’t comply can still get what they need from the US through other countries. Really best of both worlds.
It doesn’t make sense to turn off the U.S. as an attractor to some of the scientists yearning for some aspect of freedom, and it doesn’t make sense to deport a lot of people who could form the manufacturing industrial base in the U.S.
I never understood why the US would educate people and then try to kick them out in a short time frame. You are basically making other countries better and gaining little from it.
First off thank you for the info. Second what comes next is not directed towards you.
SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM THEN?!
There are already a lot of products and services created to block adult material. Instead of wasting millions of dollars and thousands of hours of human power, they could’ve made a law to opt-in to these services at the service provider level.
For example, in this situation, nearly all blocking services would block 4chan.
That would’ve the smart choice.
They also could’ve designed all of this to work as a mesh network so they aren’t reliant on anyone elses network.
Yes mesh networks have their flaws but they probably only need to check each meter once a month and it’s probably just a MAC address and text. So speed and having the device constantly connected isn’t necessary.
