This is what I use http://pcache.alexa.com/images/settings/windows7/notepad-bla...

I'm also a big fan of using standard notepad programs (this, TextEdit on OS X) but struggle to find a good program for mobile note taking. Any suggestions for iOS or Android?

Does Evernote suit your fancy?

I use Notebooks[1] on iOS. The big draw of this application for me is the ability to synchronize via WebDAV. I do not want to store my notes on any 3rd party server, but want to be able to access them on mobile devices and this is the compromise that I found.

On Mac OS X, I use nvALT[2] setup to use the same directory.

The directory itself is inside EncFS filesystem, which is mounted over cyphertext directory inside Dropbox so there is continuous encrypted sync as well.

> Unacceptable TLS Certificate It would be really nice if the new services commonly showcased on "Show HN" would take the time to correctly implement HTTPS. In fact, since my browser is set to strict-ssl enforcement, I cannot load the webpage at all.

Indeed, the site is being served without a proper certificate chain: https://whatsmychaincert.com/?blankslate.io

Only 3 lines are visible and my Keyboard doesn't have that 88-Key. Seems to be a Mac-Only thingie.

Use "control" not the Mac key sorry! Are you windows? What browser? I don't have the ability to test on Windows or IE and neither does my co-creator (who posted the link).

It also shows the Mac shortcuts on Linux.

Microsoft has a number of free VMs available for testing various Internet Explorer/Windows platform combinations:

I use iA Writer on iOS, coupled with nvAlt on Mac. They both read/write from the same dropbox directory.

You might also like Drafts for iOS - it's really more for write --> push to x service, but it does that really well.
