Been using this for a few weeks, and it is great! I'm sure that, compared to Evernote, it misses features that are important to some, but it adds a few of its own and is so much faster to use it's in another league entirely. Looking forward to the upcoming iOS version. The one feature I miss the most, besides that, is something like Evernote's menu bar app, for quick entry/scratchpad.
If there is an iOS version I'll jump from NVAlt/SimpleNote to this plus dropbox and write a migrator
Org-mode is better !
Why oh why do people still write standard GUI applications in non-portable platform ?! Its a mystery to me
I still use vimwiki. It has a few warts, but since I'm comfortable with it (as in when you learn some of the leader commands, it becomes more powerful) and files are saved to Dropbox, it makes work and home note taking convenient. It's particularly nice in that if you are already in vim; ww will open the wiki index. https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki I've also been doing some note taking with :set filetype=journal in…
Shiny, and I love the interface/layout! This looks a lot like the Jupyter/IPython Notebook, which is a free and open source "scientist's notebook". If you're interested in mixing LaTeX, Markdown, and code from almost any language (Python, R, and Julia are very well-supported but there's an open kernel spec), then this might be a more appropriate tool for you to use. The Jupyter/IPython notebook default storage format…
I started to play with it recently and I am very happy with what it can do.
It's, also, very easy to install in a docker container: https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks (I haven't managed to make work the persistence part when stopping the container yet, but this is due to my inexperience with docker).

The originator of the notebook UI is Mathematica if I recall correctly. You can try the web version at [1] - it doesn't quite have the elegance of the desktop one, but is a much better notebook than Jupyter in my experience. [1]: https://lab.open.wolframcloud.com/app/view/newNotebook?ext=n...
Lookout, here come the down votes! Your comment wasn't full of praise or cheerful enough or generally not acceptable according to a consensus of HN users with down voting privileges. By the way, I'm at -1 karma for the same bullshit reasons...
Or maybe it's because your comment doesn't add anything constructive. I mean, even your username is a complaint...
The tutorial notebook is full of individual notes with multiple 'cells'. When creating my own note, it's not immediately obvious how I achieve this. Hitting ENTER just creates a new paragraph/line within the same cell. I've discovered, through trial and error, that hitting SHIFT+ENTER creates a new cell, but this should maybe be more easily discoverable. Some of the UI elements are a bit out-of-place. I'm not sure if…
The more I read about different applications, the more I think you can't understand them unless you look at the underlying data format. Here's Quiver's: https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Quiver-Data-Format It's . . . really good. Like, _really_ good. I particularly like that they keep the metadata and the content of the note separate. This is the same thing Camlistore does, and it's nice for version control b…
I might give it a shot if they decide to support linux.
Note: I was being sarcastic when I said small.
