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?

nvAlt integrates with Simplenote for syncing. More here: https://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/superpower-your-not...

>keep your hands on the keyboard It is probably a question of generation, but young people do not want to use the keyboard and do not value the agility that can be achieved. Not so long ago, I spent some time adding keyboard shortcuts to an ERP written in Angular, just to realize that only ~ 30% of users (those who had used the old DOS-based ERP) saw value in that requirement.

While I get you on the under-appreciation of keyboard shortcuts, I think in this case there is some overlap as a selling feature with both user types since the actual application itself (vs navigation) is a text note-taking application...

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)

Looks like they're using Vuex ( https://github.com/vuejs/vuex ) It's a nice library, I've used it for a few projects.

Yeah, I'm not totally happy with my little VueJS application. Lots of components, lots of pubsub..

Vue.js is awesome! I am glad to see so many more people adopting it for serious projects.

I've used Vue for a couple projects now and it's my favorite SPA framework by far. But I liked Knockout too, and now that feels abandoned, and I'm afraid Vue will suffer the same fate. Will it really stick around in the face of React, Angular, and Ember? I feel like there is only room for so many frameworks. So I'm a little nervous to recommend Vue for really large projects. Can anyone offer a good reason why I shoul…

Well, Vue can use React, can't it? So they kind of co-exist.

I use the keyboard for everything - but would probably ignore your shortcuts because I already have extensions that let me use the keyboard efficiently in the browser environment.

The app looks really well put together. I went as far as creating an account until I realized it unusable on mobile--I need to hit control + enter to create a note.

If on android there is a useful keyboard app called "Hacker's Keyboard". Useful for programming on the go. Edit: comes with ctrl among 0ther keys that is.

This + Termux saved my life a few times :D

> Can anyone offer a good reason why I should stop worrying?

There will always be a shiny new tool, no matter which one you choose. Good products can be built in any of them (even Knockout which I loved too). Most of the frontend fatigue is just paradox of choice. For me what works to reduce paradox of choice is knowing that good architecture and clean code is much more important than the selected framework. Most of them have a lot of documentation, examples, so we should focus on creating good products, and again, most of them can be used to created high quality web apps.

Vue is awesome. I belive it will stick around - for one - they have seminars and well attended events. It's not a one-man project anymore.

It has gained big popularity in the PHP/Laravel world.

On the other hand, we have a somewhat large production vue 1.0 app that we just can't justify quickly upgrading to vue 2.x. I hope to get some more LTS version information from Vue team so we don't have to upgrade to Vue 3 in 2018...
