Notational Velocity ftw. There's even a variation for CLI junkies

#62I've also built something similar in past, which is also a PWA which works offline(and quite minimalistic): https://notepad.js.org

#63I think this really shows how powerful Web technologies are! Think about it: you get a full-fledged editor, with image embedding, and it only takes 200 bytes. Not kilobytes or megabytes, just bytes. Now check Evernote in the AppStore which weighs in at 111.5 megabytes.
If you’re still writing native apps in 2018, you’re throwing money right out of the window and you deserve bankruptcy.

#64I wanted a place where I could write down my thoughts without them being stored in the cloud or connected to an account (notes, onenote, evernote, docs, paper, gist, etc). I don't really like terminal text editors, notepad, or IDEs for writing, so I made this very simple notepad. It's a html tag with the contenteditable attribute making it editable, and some .

> To save a note just store it on disk (cmd/ctrl+s). What's this supposed to do? On Firefox/Win it just saves the initial blank page as you'd expect, which is not very useful. Removing the `contenteditable` attribute before saving makes no difference. I'm not aware that there is a simple portable way to save dynamically-modified webpages; projects like TiddlyWiki have been banging their collective heads against this…
I just saved as txt on Firefox 60 Windows

I'd love this and use it regularly if it supported Chrome and markdown syntax. I know it wouldn't be 200 bytes, but this is a pretty great idea.

You might be interested in a new way to create websites I'm creating. Websites are stored as JSON, and a small Javascript engine file writes these directly to the DOM.
This makes the site very easy to dynamically modify and save, which is the basis for this as a hosting service - the site itself contains a site editor that outputs the site as JSON, and uploads itself to S3.
(It's in late alpha, and will hopefully move to beta before the end of the month.)

Evernote chose features over counting kilobytes. Thats a choice they made. Comparing this with evernote on kilobytes is like comparing homemade skateboard to a SUV by their weight. Not cool.
I prefer native apps in most cases over some web counterpart with rare exceptions.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just tested this on my iPad 4th-gen, which is stuck at iOS 10.3 these days. Safari cut-and-paste works for images. Of course, as the iPad runs out of memory as I use multiple apps, stops Safari then reloads it when I come back. Which loses any edits to the content. Expected. The unexpected is that this simple thing is as functional as it is...
Try using something like split screen to guarantee that the app will stay in memory.
(Good suggestion, but the iPad4 iOS 10.3 does not support split-screen apps.)

I haven't tried the subject of this thread, but since I upgraded to Windows 10, the notes application has become ridiculously slow. Sometimes I have to wait, and wait, for it to respond to clicking or typing. I assume because it's doing some sort of network/AI enabled nonsense.
>the notes application has become ridiculously slow the win32 one, or did they replace it with a metro/modern version?
I'm using 64-bit Windows 10. It looks like it has some subtle visual updates, but I'm not sure what might have been changed under the hood. It seems to frequently hang when I try to paste into it, for an interminable amount of time.

#70I am sorry but it seems very pointless for me. Wouldn't you need an OS to use a browser that supported this? If so, couldnt you just use a terminal or hell, if your on windows, just notepad... I am really failing to see how this made it on yc.
