Speaking of monoculture: It is nothing wrong to start to build something on your daily platform firstly, then test if it will be accepted by users. Eventually, if it is loved by everyone, the founder should consider making it cross-platform (native, please!).

#252I'm late to the conversation, but I bought a copy yesterday and I just could not be happier with the product. I'm hoping to convert all of my teaching notes and use the presentation mode in class. I have been a dedicated org-mode user, but this might be the one exception to my "emacs for everything" policy.

#253Directions for taking notes on a computer: - Create a folder. - Create notes as files named like tweets `my note #javascript #yolo.txt`. - Write markdown in plain text files. - Open the folder from your choice of editor. - Distribute your notes folder using Git, Dropbox, Drive, etc. - Enjoy your notes FOREVER. Atom works great when you need your notes in a Desktop environment. The command line is wonderful when you a…
I forgot to add, use http://prose.io to access your Notes repo on Github anywhere.

#254It seems the export note as a pdf, html or markdown option does not work in the trial version. But it is not mentioned anywhere. Is it a bug or as I mentioned - nonfunctional in the trial version?
The PDF export works fine for me - what problem do you see?

#255Question: is there a way to clip websites to it? This is a feature I use a lot in Evernote that I'd sorely miss.

#256Why oh why do people still write standard GUI applications in non-portable platform ?! Its a mystery to me
IMO there is nothing worse than a non-native app, especially if it's something designed for a web browser like NodeJS and friends.

#257The Apple monoculture is strong with this one. When will trendy developer startups realize other environments exist besides iOSX?
From what I see in Melbourne at least, most Devs and iOS people use OS-X, if they're not using that they're running fedora or arch. I'm yet to see anyone run Windows other than project managers in places I've worked over the last 4 or so years.

#258looks great, but desktop app are so 2000! I would start working on a web version if I were you.
No thanks, I'd take a native desktop app over a web app any day of the week thank you very much.

#259Mac only? Not open source? Consider this a downvote.
I don't think you need to down vote it because it doesn't suit you. Yes I'd like if it was open source and available on Linux as well, but it's not a bad, dangerous or negative product.

#260The 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…
Smallest Federated Wiki's format is very similar: https://github.com/WardCunningham/Smallest-Federated-Wiki/bl...
Whoa, how have I not seen this before? Thanks for the link.
