A great looking app.

I use the babel package built into emacs' org-mode. It's not for everyone though.

It's worth investing in a tool like this. I find the act of keeping a journal to be invaluable to developing my skills as a programmer. I find it serves two primary purposes. It first provides me a historical record of how my thinking has been changed and influenced. And it helps me to recall difficult subject matter in deep, complex domains. I tend to have limited brain capacity so it's nice to have a "database" of my thoughts to lean on.

Quiver is a Mac app that helps programmers take notes. Its unique cell-based design makes it easy to mix text and code in one note. I built Quiver to scratch my own itch. I have tried numerous code snippet managers over the years, but they all missed one crucial point: it's not just code that you want to store. Usually you want to mix code snippets with comments, images, and links. Nothing out there was able to do th…

I've been looking for something like this I'll definitely check it out when I get home. One small feature request that I have though is if you could add some simple screen-shoting functionality. I believe it should be simple enough judging for example by this SO question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12823489/how-to-take-regi... and this example https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab... but I might be wrong. I realize that I could just use whatever screen-shoting app and then drag the image over but sometimes I take a lot of them and all the switching gets really annoying.
