Hi HN,

I built VaultNote, a local-first note-taking app that runs entirely in the browser.

Key ideas:

- 100% local-first: no backend or server - No login, accounts, or tracking - Notes stored locally in IndexedDB / LocalStorage - AES encryption with a single master password - Tree-structured notes for organizing knowledge

The goal was to create a simple note app where your data never leaves your device. You can open the site, enter a master password, and start writing immediately.

Since everything is stored locally, VaultNote also supports import/export so you can back up your data.

Curious to hear feedback from the HN community, especially on:

- the security approach (local AES encryption) - IndexedDB storage design - local-first UX tradeoffs
