I never used Notational Velocity, but this seems like an awesome UI to use for Notes. As long as you have powerful search you can always find your notes by their content and create new ones when the ones you find aren't relevant. How many times I've created a new note related to something I wrote about before, but didn't want to search for. Now I'd basically be forced to search for it when I tried to create the new n…

It really is great, I've been using it for years -- and all my notes are stored as plain-text (markdown) files. Only downside is images really. If you want to try it, check out this more-recently-updated fork. The creator of the fork is apparently working on a replacement that I'm rather looking forward to trying. http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/

Any recommendation for a companion iOS app to sync with NValt?

Looking great! Thanks for sharing. I assume it's not open-sourced, but I wanted to ask about the code nonetheless. I would have loved to see it to appreciate Vue.js better.

It is ( https://github.com/tmm/notational )! Star, fork, watch it!

Excellent! Thanks!

I could try to understand from the source, but since you're here: how are you handling application state and non-parent child communication?

Also, is your search feature client side only?

Also, Ctrl+enter isn't working for me (Chrome, Linux)

I love Vue and I'm interested in learning Phoenix. What's particularly compelling about the stack?

Phoenix is great because it gives you the same productivity benefits that Rails does, but it doesn't have any of the crazy "magic", which makes it both fast and also easy to understand. When you want to learn about how something works you can pop the hood and read the source code, and it's both well-documented and easy to understand. Elixir is also functional as opposed to object-oriented, which means no leaky abstra…

How much time would you recommend spending with Elixir before moving into a Phoenix app?

Off topic, since this site uses firebase:

For firebase one has to include the API keys and other info in the JS itself.

I think that this is just another mongo DB like hack waiting to happen. Becuase a lot of developers might not know how to configure firebase read, write access rules properly. So as far as I understand anybody determined enough should be able to read the JS and read and write(!!) to other people's data.

Is there something I am missing here?

I've used firebase before, the default settings have proper read and write settings per user.

Firebase DB has reached maximum connections. Keep an eye on your usage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14356409

I work on an Open Source alternative, which isn't capped (and has an easy 1 click deploy to Heroku), hopefully this will be helpful for people maxing out connections: https://github.com/amark/gun .

nvNotes[1] was great, but the latest version removed Dropbox syncing (because the developer was using an older API that is being deprecated) and now it's... no so useful. Combined with nvALT[2] on the Mac, this used to be a great combo.
