    The federated wiki idea is interesting. It's the first time I hear about it. The json file format does look very similar to what Quiver has. It is cool to be able to resolve note c…

    That would be cool, but would make the app more complicated. Think about all the other languages. You would have to include tons of runtimes. It's better to leave that to other app…

    That is a good idea. IPython Notebook was another inspiration for Quiver. Since Quiver uses an simple JSON format for data files, it's easy to write a script to convert IPython not…

    You can take a screenshot with the standard OS X shortcuts (Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, etc.) then paste into a text cell. Quiver lets you save images inside text cells, incl…

    Quiver 2 saves all data in plain JSON files. So if you have turned on FileVault on Mac, the data files will be encrypted. Otherwise no.

    A quiver keeps arrows safe for a great archer. The Quiver app keeps notes organized for a great programmer.

    Unfortunately I am not a Windows programmer. But Quiver uses a simple JSON format for notebooks and notes, as documented here: https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Quiver-Data…

    Also, Evernote doesn't have Markdown support. Quiver has Markdown cells and live Markdown preview.

    You can't do syntax highlighting in Evernote. If you do syntax highlighting with another tool, then copy into Evernote, you won't be able to edit it again. That's the main reason I…
