## What it is
Haptic is an open-source, local-first, privacy-focused markdown note-taking app built with Tauri and Svelte, using PGlite as a local database. It can be used as a desktop app or self-hosted as a web instance via Vercel or Docker.

## Use cases
- take markdown notes locally without cloud lock-in
- self-host a private note-taking web app
- write distraction-free notes with a lightweight editor
- keep notes private on my own machine
- replace proprietary note apps with an open-source alternative

## When to choose
- you want local-first markdown notes with privacy focus
- you want to self-host your notes app with Docker or Vercel
- you prefer minimal, lightweight editors over feature-heavy tools

## When to avoid
- you need cross-device sync today (planned but not shipped)
- you need mobile support (not yet available)
- you need rich collaboration or sharing features

- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, privacy, self-hosted
