I’m not sure whether blocks would be better than just separate files, which can be created quickly using Cmd+N.
However, the lack of syntax highlighting in iA writer has been less than ideal, so I’m definitely trying this out!
Is there an option to rearrange blocks using drag-and-drop or a keyboard shortcut?
I’ve been using iA Writer for this exact purpose. A place to quickly dump text I don’t want to lose or quickly create drafts I don’t want to accidentally send.

- resizing the window creates white borders when the content of the window hasn’t been updated yet to reflect the new window size. these are a bit jarring / look non-native.
- I try to keep electron apps to a minimum, as I’ve had only bad experiences with them so far (Discord, Warp, Unity Hub) and they take up a lot of resources.
- While writing code, it does not keep indentation when entering a closing bracket.
These are more nitpicks, but I love the concept :) Great work!
Initial 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…
I'm confused - browsers already do this for you - From what I can tell you aren't using any specific APIs necessitating electron?
You also could easily have a live demo since it's a client side app.
> Yes, 200+ MB of RAM seems quite excessive in theory, but in practice it's less than 1% of the total RAM memory of my laptop (24 GB).
You should consider that people would be adding this to their workflow. So it's not not 200MB/Total RAM but instead it's 200MB/Remaining memory
Mine has 32GB Total total but less then 2GB free (and the only reason it's free is because it was swapped), which would make this ~10% of my free memory. This means when I run webpack or other things like that it swaps even worse.
I love this! Simple and solid execution. I've been wanting to build something similar for some time now, might fork and play around with it. Thank you for open sourcing it! I've started using Obsidian with a new note for each day and separating "blocks" with a Markdown horizontal rule (`---`) to achieve something similar, but this is much cleaner. The strength of such an approach is making capture extremely easy -- n…
Looks quite neat though.
I just downloaded and installed and I am really impressed. I liked the concept of math blocks though it took me a few seconds to figure out how to change a new block into a math block. This note at the top wasn't clear to me: ⌘ + L Change block language The phrase block language didn't trigger my "change the type of block" thinking. I might slightly rephrase like: ⌘ + L Change block language (Math, Markdown, etc.) Ot…
Good suggestion, I'll change that!
