If you’re on macOS:
pbpaste >> ~/Scratchfile
You can probably hook that up to Alfred or whatever to have a hotkey for it.

#283This is so delightful. Thanks for creating!

Interesting, how old is that Appflowy build? I know Flutter got quite fast recently due to them changing their renderer from Skia to Impeller.
The latest version of Appflowy (currently v0.3.9.1). Maybe it's Appflowy implementation.
I recall that the app Rows had their desktop version written in Flutter and it was extremely fast, able to render billions of rows as a spreadsheet, so I don't think it's a framework limitation but it is likely that Appflowy is not very well implemented.

Well, I'm yet to see a fast block editor implemented in Flutter (with proper RAM use as well). Another one is Super Editor[1] which is the editor from the Superlist app[2]. I didn't properly test it cause there are no builds. But the web version[3] hangs when I try to paste the text of War and Peace. I would like to test it properly one day.

so you want something akin to how the .NET Framework was included in Windows... what about different applications requiring different Electron versions?
In such rare case, it would download the required version. Having two separate Electron versions is still better than having ten in total, for each app separately.
I see Electron has a point release approximately every two weeks.
Factor in, let's say (conservatively), 5 Electron based applications on a given system. I posit everyone of those will depend on a different Electron version.

#287Amazing UX. I'm hopeful something like this can be done to replace the hellish experience of Jupyter notebooks.

#288I 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…
I use Obsidian for my programming notes, troubleshooting logs, thinking on “paper”, writing and checking assumptions. It’s very powerful and quite performant. AMA.

#289This is really, really good. Just earned a permanent spot on my dock in short order. One request (which I would happily pay for): make it so that you can run the code blocks and generate an output. I routinely crack open the browser console to test out some JS and it would be great to be able to do this right alongside my other notes.
Obsidian can do this: https://github.com/twibiral/obsidian-execute-code

#290This 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.
I'm very surprised you haven't heard of org mode - your product is essentially a reimplementation.
