Nice project :) 1. It will be nice to have the possibility to add videos to notes. Not just links to files. I mean video files that are inside notes and can be played inside micropad. 2. Are there plans to add premium (paid) features besides paid sync in your clouds or all functionality will be available to everyone?

Thanks! 1. That's totally possible, although file-size could quickly become an issue with syncing the videos (there's a 50MB cap) 2. Nope, All actual client functionality is (and always will be) free + open source. Even syncing is free (up to a point).

>although file-size could quickly become an issue with syncing the videos (there's a 50MB cap).

Is this cap from software or from the cloud?

Don't OneNote and Evernote already do this kind of thing? (On mobile, haven't tried yours, yet.) You should be signing apps if the smartscreen prompt really bothers you. Be mad at virus and malware authors that forced this, not Microsoft or Apple.

Linux doesn't have the issue with codesigning. And no evernote doesn't (it's more of a page mechanism) and yes OneNote does but OneNote one Linux is non-existent and OneNote on the web is bad.

Code signing is not an issue, it is a feature. You can think of it as a way to programmatically check that the executable has not been modified since released by the developer.

FOSS sites often recommend that a downloader check the hash of a downloaded file against one provided, never seeming to realize that if an attacker can replace a .iso file that there is a high likelihood that they can modify the MD5 hash shown to match their modified file.

Code signing prevents this.

Code signing is a good thing.
