#132The 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…
Small flaw though. It only runs on OS-X. I might give it a shot if they decide to support linux. Note: I was being sarcastic when I said small.
It's a small flaw... compared to not being on Windows.
I like the concept, but it's a non-starter while it's not available on... I don't know... the largest platform.

It is slightly unfair to complain about what platforms a developer chooses to publish his/her work on. Perhaps they have been a long term Apple user? Perhaps they don't know anything about Windows development.
Windows may be the largest, but there are so many good apps and developers making a living off the smaller platforms. This doesn't make using their apps a "non-starter".

#135I definitely plan on checking this out. Another nice programmer's notebook I've been using for awhile is Marxico https://marxi.co/. It's integrated with Evernote, but I think you can use it standalone.
It supports Markdown, code snippets (in markdown ```), latex and sequence/flowchart diagrams.
To me it feels a little more natural to write a markdown document rather then thinking about each block of text as "cells".

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?
I think his point is that if someone writes something, he's entitled to be able to use it on his preferred platform. Or, at least, that's how it comes across.
Then you didn't read any of my follow-ups.

#137I 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?
Privacy?
Nobody forces you to push to Github.com. Git is perfectly private.

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.
Try reading my responses first. You completely missed my point.

True! A few months ago I wanted to install Aperture on a new laptop; since it's been pulled from the App store I couldn't find it anymore, and this is what customer support told me: I've reviewed your request, but as much I would like to restore the item for you, I won't be able to download "Aperture" to your account because the amount of time that has passed since this purchase was made prohibits us from restoring i…
Well, unless you just want to install Aperture to export stuff out, that's for the best. Aperture has been EOLed -- it's not advisable to install it even if you could, as you'd be installing deprecated software that can stop working at any future OS update. That wouldn't be much different than any software company not allowing you to download their old program anymore.
It should be up to the buyer whether or not they choose to take that risk, not to the seller to paternalistically make that decision for them.
