+This is the repository keeping track of content changes made to the demo account on [Jody's Notes App](https://notes.kaplon.us).
+If you followed the link from the app, you should see your recent changes as commits in this repository.
+It's probably overkill to have a complete version history for this demo account, but it's what I'm doing with my own notes, so I wanted to show it off here also.
+The content is all plain-text and I was already keeping a full version history of edits in a git repo with my node.js server-side app.
+And if there's already a git repo on my VPS, I might as well setup a remote repo on Bitbucket to get an off-site backup :).
