I'd love to get some feedback also :). Heynote Github Repo: https://github.com/heyman/heynote
Is it possible to use proportional (non-monospace) fonts? It’s not clear from the website. That would be a necessary feature for me.

#122It would be perfect that you add this on brew because most corporate mac users have no permission to download these type dmg except brew
"most"? I'd say that's actually an extremely weird and rare restriction.

#123...I wish this was on iPad too! Very cool to see and I'll try it on Mac.
Of course, then I’d want sync. This is pretty close to what I want Drafts.app to be.

#124Initial thoughts: 1. It looks beautiful and useful. Very nice work! 2. I love the math sections. 3. I was shocked how large the download was. 4. It's chewing enough memory between the GUI and the (3!) helper processes that I will probably continue to use BBEdit for this kind of thing. I think it will be useful to a lot of people... I like it and could see myself using it sometimes even if it feels too heavy to keep i…
Yeah, large file sizes and some RAM overhead is a drawback that comes with Electron apps. However, it would never have been possible for me to make Heynote for all of Mac, Windows and Linux, on my spare time and within a reasonable timeframe, without Electron. Also, the CPU usage overhead for Heynote is minimal. It's one of the apps I use the most, and it's never among the programs that have used the most CPU. Yes, 2…

#125This is just outstanding. It's so exactly what I wish for out of a scratch pad. My feature request to add to your pile (possibly a lonely one, since maybe it's just unique to how my brain works): I really want a scratch pad like this to have UX that supports "inverted" order. Meaning, new blocks get added to the top of the page instead of the bottom. The blocks naturally flow in descending order of creation rather th…
Re: Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
#126great application and something i didnt ask for but needed somehow ;) Sometimes i have to quickly write something down for the reasons you stated. Then i have to open a text editor like Windows Editor or Notepad++. These are nice but they really don't have the feeling to write things down. You have somewhat of an anxiety that you'll lose that data if you forget to save it. Also there is no vim support and stuff like…

I get the idea of the "inverted order". I wonder if it would be enough to make it configurable so that C-Enter inserts a new block before the current one + Heynote sets the cursor at the beginning of the buffer at startup (instead of last which is the current behavior)?
