#62So perhaps I won't have to write my own app for keeping an electronics projects logbook after all. There is a scarcity of reasonably simple apps that let you mix notes with images, without lots of clickery.
I will be taking a very close look at this app!

#63Why oh why do people still write standard GUI applications in non-portable platform ?! Its a mystery to me
Because otherwise they don't look or behave nicely.

You either make it look beautiful in one place, or make it look like ass in three places.
Or, option C: You use Electron, like Slack.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
What's your point? That it's not available for Windows or Linux? The developer behind Quiver is a one-man shop and happens to be an iOS, OS X and web developer. So what?
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-…
Nobody owes you anything. You want something google it, or build it yourself. Don't you dare belittle a developer for only targeting one platform.

Qt looks very nice to me. But then again my preferred GUI is ncurse in my terminal (urxvt) with tmux in a tiled window manager (i3).

#67Mac only? Not open source? Consider this a downvote.
Re: Quiver: Programmer's Notebook for OS X
#68The Apple monoculture is strong with this one. When will trendy developer startups realize other environments exist besides iOSX?
I agree. This thread is a party for Apple fans to massage their egos. For Windows/Linux there are plenty of better alternatives: tiddlywiki, OneNote, etc.
OneNote is available for OSX from Mac App Store. And it's simply the best app in this category for me. It's also free. Much better than Quiver. If Quiver had similar, simple, fast editing capabilities it could be better - by feeling less heavy, lighter plus maybe some extras for programmers.

#69I'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.
Can you give a quick "steps taken" to migrate your notes? I'm gettign fed up with Evernote too, particularly the awful syncing (conflicts mainly).

#70I happily use a github repo for taking my 'programmer notes'. Advantages: 1. Goes well with my programming workflow: Change/Commit/Push 2. Allows me to use my preferred editor 3. No need to worry about backups: Git push and you're done 4. Accessible from anywhere, even if you don't have your computer Is there anything that Quiver would offer that I wouldnt already have with a github repo?
I do the same, bitbucket allows you to group repo's by project or team (or both) so I always create a default docs repo.
For actual notes I just use org-mode since it can be read easily in nearly anything, supports all the bits I want and has nice html/pdf export if I need to send a todo/completed list out to anyone.
What's nice is I can keep my own meta-docs project which just links to each repo for each set of projects so I can jump around different projects transparently as well.
