Hi HN,

I’m an ex-Amazon engineer. I built Seychl because I was tired of waiting 3 seconds for my notes to load in cloud-based apps.

Seychl is a local-first knowledge base designed for speed. UI interactions are always instant (<16ms).

Features for power users:

- Full keyboard control (never touch the mouse)

- Vim mode built-in

- Markdown storage (you own your data)

- Instant search across 10k+ notes

- Persistent Tmux-like sessions, windows and panes

It’s basically "Linear for knowledge management" – focusing on ergonomics and speed over bloated features.

You can download the binary here (currently MacOS only): https://github.com/Seychl/seychl-release/releases/download/0...
