Looks great. Quick question. When I started it up, Little Snitch immediately told me it made a connection to GitHub and currencies.heynote.com. Why does a scratch pad need to phone home?
Probably Github for autoupdate and currencies for current currency rates
For the paranoid it should be simple to fork Heynote and disable currencies and auto updates.

Hey! Nice app, I've always had scratch pads around for things like this and never had a particularly good solution for them. Soulver is nice but too maths focused, a tab in VSCode in nice but it's a pain to manage multiple buffers for different languages. I like the feature set here. A few bits of feedback for potential improvements or clarifications... - I couldn't find the shortcut to change the language until I ho…

It would be awesome if this was a native or Tauri / Wails app, moving away from Electron would really de-bloat the application and set it apart from say using another VScode extension etc... I already have far too many chrome instances running due to Electron.
(Now I want to add blocks in reverse chronological order to my todo app)
I currently have a insane long Markdown file as brain dump. Will give it a shot. Something like an overview or minimap or a way to structure like mindmap would be nice :)
This reminds me a lot of org-mode( https://orgmode.org/ ). Do you have plans to add other org-like features, like evaluating code blocks? I don't personally see myself moving away from org-mode, but it would be nice to have something to recommend to people who are reluctant to use emacs, even if it's only for a single application.
Oh, I haven't seen orgmode before, so I don't know what its features are. I'm not planning to add evaluation of code blocks (apart from Math blocks that is) due to the complexity it would add.
Make sure to also look at org roam, it is more specifically why I won't personally have a need for Heynote any time soon, but it could maybe be inspiring for you going forward.
This 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…
The perfect UX would be to add a new buffer at the top, but with enough padding to fill the window so that you can't see the movement of previous blocks while you're typing.
(Maybe this is already kinda how it works - I haven't downloaded the app yet, but I'm excited to try it, because it looks great!)
