7 people recommended Hubbele in Hacker News comments, 1 had mixed feelings and 4 criticized it, November 2025 to October 2026. It was recommended in 2 of 12 months, in 2 threads. It does not meet the Hacker Approved badge rule.

6 of the 7 people who recommend it commented in one thread, “Hubbele: Open-source notetaking app for you and your agents”.

**Verdict:** Open-source notetaking app with a React interface for people and plain Markdown files that agents can edit directly; critics say Obsidian and other note apps already do the same.

## Why people recommend it

- Agents can read and edit files (2 comments in the sample): "The dual interface from the start (React UI for humans and just editing .md for the agents with skills) is an interesting idea" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49092159)) "no proprietary format lock-in, and agents can just read the files directly" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49095850))
- Agent input and copy-path button (2 comments in the sample): "Seems like the main thing is having agent input right there, which is handy." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49093617)) "thing that makes it agent friendly is copy path button" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49095524))
- Wanted Markdown editing features (2 comments in the sample): "Almost everything on my wishlist for a Markdown editor, except for Mermaid rendering." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49093594)) "I wanted an app that could display HTML pages alongside Markdown" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49126633))

## What people warn about

- Seen as an ordinary Markdown editor (2 comments in the sample): "To me, Hubble just seems like a Markdown editor, based on the premise that agents are able to edit local files." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49094391)) "this is useless. Obsidian and plenty of other note taking apps already do the same and more." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49094852))
