Really Nice! Small nitpick: Displays really well on mobile, however, creating a note requires user to hit ctrl+enter, which is not easy to do on a phone.

Thanks for the feedback! Someone mentioned this earlier and I am going to add something to make it easier.

Great. Loving the clean design.

pretty cool, but isnt this pretty much Google Keep? Or is it more just to display uses of vue.js?

I use google keep, and based on just a few minutes of use, this seems a bit snappier especially for finding older notes.

Vue.js is awesome! I am glad to see so many more people adopting it for serious projects.

I work for a networking company in bay area and a pretty complex major dashboard is built entirely with Vue. I have only heard good things about it from the developers.

Which in turn made me use Vuejs for this hackernews search that I have been building (http://searchhn.com/).

The documentation is excellent and Vue is well designed, it took a few hours from scratch to learn and build the demo (PS: Not a web developer)

Hey! Never used Google Keep, but I'll check it out.

The goal was to build a product I could use every day. (Showcasing Vue is a nice side effect.)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What are your favourite libraries/extensions (for want of a better term) to use with it? I'm on my first VueJS 2 project, and found a number which are abandoned...

Vuex ( https://github.com/vuejs/vuex ) and vue-router ( https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router ) are nothing flashy, yet really solid. There are tons more in the awesome-vue repo ( https://github.com/vuejs/awesome-vue ). Even though Vue has less libraries/extensions than something like React, the core: state management, routing, Vue component spec are quite good.

Vuex is really nice. I had always been afraid of Redux, Mobx and other flux-like implementations, but after porting a project from using internalized state in each component to one store in vuex this weekend, it ended up being refreshingly simple.

I've used Vue for a couple projects now and it's my favorite SPA framework by far. But I liked Knockout too, and now that feels abandoned, and I'm afraid Vue will suffer the same fate. Will it really stick around in the face of React, Angular, and Ember? I feel like there is only room for so many frameworks. So I'm a little nervous to recommend Vue for really large projects. Can anyone offer a good reason why I should stop worrying?

Btw one thing I like about Vue is how easy it is to build a traditional server-rendered app but use Vue only on pages that really need it. Not saying you can't do this elsewhere, but with Vue it is so easy!

NV is an awesome app, glad to see it now as a webapp too. The only thing I'd ask for is the short key for creating a new note to be cmd + enter for us mac people.

I don't think this comment should be dead - adamcccc's confusion illustrates the interesting naming used for this product and how it can cause confusion. Looks like NV[0] has seen and approved of it, but it still seems like an odd choice. [0] https://github.com/tmm/notational/issues/2

Author's response to the Issue you linked:

"Also, will add the same text to the top of the README.md and the footer of the home page, along with a link to notational.net."

He hasn't done those things yet, which is probably why people are confused about it.

>keep your hands on the keyboard

It is probably a question of generation, but young people do not want to use the keyboard and do not value the agility that can be achieved. Not so long ago, I spent some time adding keyboard shortcuts to an ERP written in Angular, just to realize that only ~ 30% of users (those who had used the old DOS-based ERP) saw value in that requirement.
