Show HN: Docket (system for active note-taking) now self-hosted after HN asked

6 months ago [0] I did a Show HN for Docket - it’s a system for active note taking in regular meetings like 1-1s, stands, all-hands, etc. On that thread a few of you asked for a self-hosted version. So I built it. There's a free tier available. I put loads of effort into making setup easy - just one install command that gives you a CLI for start/stop/upgrade commands etc. It runs as a single container, you can use a custom domain out the box for hosting over the internet (it provisions a LetsEncrypt cert for you), or just run locally (then via tailscale or whatever else if you want private networking). Single-player mode for private note-taking is indeed a much-encouraged usecase and is unlimited within the free tier. This release also includes other big improvements requested in feedback last time (in both the self hosted and cloud versions): Export of notes; editor formatting more intuitive; easier to manage your actions. Next on the roadmap is native clients, but honestly the mobile web experience is already quite usable. I use it all the time on my phone! Give it a go, and let me know what you think :-) Any help needed with setup or anything else really, contact details are in my profile. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46198430

Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work

Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of the first day of the Recurse Center ( https://www.recurse.com/ ) My cofounders and I did YC all the way back in the Summer of 2010, with the initial idea of building "OkCupid for jobs." That idea quickly fizzled, and we spent the better part of a year pivoting between other ideas that also failed. Finally, we made something that we wanted ourselves: a self-directed programming retreat, where people built fun projects, contributed to open source, and helped each other become better programmers. After running two small batches, we launched on HN[1] and got an incredible reception. That post on HN helped us reach beyond our personal networks and meet programmers from around the world, many of whom have since become friends. HN brought us the majority of people who came to our next few batches, and in the years since, HN has remained our #2 source of applicants (after word of mouth). Alas, pg's comment[2] on HN when we launched turned out to be prescient: Running free programming retreats isn't a billion-dollar business, but it's still a worthwhile thing to do, and has positively impacted over 3,000 people so far. And 15 years on I still wake up every day excited to keep working on it. So, thanks HN, for helping make the Recurse Center possible, and for helping me find my life's work.

In fact, the way the Hackruiters think about Hacker School is a lot like the way we initially thought about YC: if it doesn't make money, it will at least have been a benevolent thing to do."
