Simple solution: Make your own tool for your own preferred platform.
That solution doesn't sound very simple, particularly for non-programmers.

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
There seems to be a trend among certain groups of developers to act as if their preferred environment is the only one that exists. Calling this "The Programmer's Notebook" makes it seem like a broadly applicable tool for programmers in general, when it's actually fairly exclusive and specific. There's nothing particularly egregious about this example, but it's part of a larger pattern that is aggravating for any non-…

Can you explain why? Curious as this differs from most people I've seen.

Damn, you've really opened my eyes to all these other environments that exist besides iOSX. I'm crying now because you've lit the way for me, and I feel so foolish for all the work I've accomplished in my monocultural environment.

I agree. I've downloaded the trial, and if I like what I see (and, of course, the price is right) I'll buy a copy, but only if I can buy one directly from you, not via the App store.

#30I've been using this for a couple months after having become annoyed with Evernote always pestering me to move to their paid model.
I was able to import all my Evernote content very easily. I love the ability to use Markdown to take notes and the support for VIM commands in code blocks is nice.
The only thing I miss from Evernote is access from my iOS devices.
