Congrats on the HN launch! Really excited to give this a try I think this could be a huge unlock for my team.

One quick issue - unable to connect to my postgres instance that requires SSL.

SSH tunneling seems to be broken as well because when the box is checked I am unable to select a private key path and the connect button is gone

Parsing DB URI would be a helpful feature as well!

Thanks so much, excited to get this up and running when everything is fixed!


ignore the SSH tunneling, didn't see that i had to scroll...it's been a long week. regardless, SSL enabled connections would be huge


As an update, we now have SSL connections available


Thanks for your feedback, we'll add SSL in the connection soon


Hey this looks really cool! Would be curious to know where you're getting the data for what procedures / conditions physicians deal with.


Right now we're relying on publicly available data (e.g. CMS claims, publications, clinical trials, conferences). We plan to add commercial claims in the future. If a client has a specific dataset on physician procedures they want to use, we can easily intake that file and build them a search endpoint that uses their data.


I think the bigger problem is we preach user feedback as the holy grail of product growth, but it's hard to do so when you fully respect privacy (i.e. no sign ups).

For example, when I built https://github.com/pdepip/mmap.it I made the conscious decision to not require any log in information but quickly found I was unable to find who was using my product and then ask them for feedback - so user led development stalled.

The way to get feedback without being obnoxious is to provide ways for users to give you feedback on their own terms. Bonus points if you build a community where you can ask questions as needed.


You can ask for anonymous feedback directly in the app instead of emailing users.


Create a pinned issue with title "We ask for feedback"

Mention it in the Readme.


Does anyone have any recommended reading or resources for someone interested in getting involved in similar work?


you should check out my (open source) project https://mmap.io. It's a zero hierarchy, short cut driven note tool. Would love to hear your thoughts!


404 FYI :(


I guess they meant https://mmap.it which is open sourced at https://github.com/pdepip/mmap.it (matches their username).


I use this for a short-cut driven note-taking app I've built, https://mmap.it. Excited to see it get some recognition, it's by far the best wysiwyg editor I've found. Best of luck with outline!


The current title calls it a "react Dropbox Paper clone". Since you use it, I'm curious if you have a sense of how close it gets, and what the gaps are?


Full disclosure: I don't have a ton of experience with Dropbox Paper. From what I've seen there aren't many gaps. There are a few markdown elements in paper that I think have cleaner styling (i.e. lists). I also prefer the automatic syntax highlighting and table UI with dropbox paper. That being said, as far as inline markdown editors go, they are quite close.


For me, the biggest problem with all of these note taking systems is they are clunky. If I want to quickly write something down, or find a piece of information, I have to page through tabs in chrome which totally ruins my focus.

To solve this, I built https://mmap.it - a short cut driven note taking tool that allows you to save and search without context switching.


Awesome! Looks similar to a short-cut driven note taking tool I'm building - https://mmap.it

Major difference is mine is focused on longer form documentation and comes with an inline markdown editor. Congrats on the launch!


This game had such a profound impact on my life. When we were in elementary school, everybody in my town seemed to play and a lot of friendships I still have today were formed there. Private servers (moparscape.org) were the reason I got into programming, and I've been working as a software engineer for 4 years now. I didn't study it in school either, was strictly taught on runescape forums. I still check in from time to time, and can still navigate that world blindfolded.


I actually wrote a tool like this that's aimed at storing and accessing information: https://mmap.it

The main difference is it provides full text search and global keyboard shortcuts so you can access it when you need it, without context switching.
