Hi, I'm the author of this app. The notes on each client are stored in an SQLite database for performance reason. If they were stored directly as text files it would be slow to query them, it would be very hard to make it work on mobile (and even slower), and you wouldn't be able to easily create relations between notes and tags, notes and notebooks, resource links, etc. It's when exporting them or syncing them that…
You can use a database for queries without treating it as the canonical data store. Whether that approach is a good idea is a different question than it being possible.
This is why open source is great. You should fork the project and prove your hypothesis to us instead of FUD-sniping in the thread. ;-)

#44This looks great. I hope you might prioritize adding a web clipper. For me, the Evernote Web Clipper plugin/extension is the killer app. The rest of Evernote isn't great, but their web clipper is incredibly useful to me.

#45I'm currently using Apple Notes on my Mac and iPhone. It works just great! It synchronises perfectly I can drag and drop images to it, no problem. Cmd + C, Cmd + V, Cmd + B, Cmd + I all work as expected. I can even add to-do lists and cross out "Done" I think it even supports tables, But I don't use them. Export as PDF, html, airdrop, email whatever, works easily What doesn't work: If I ever get out of Apple ecosyste…
Me too, and my favourite is the sketches. Add a little doodle, use the ruler for crisp lines - all in your basic little note app.

#46I've played with a bunch of note tools, but once you need collaborative and painless synchronisation across platforms, your options really shrink. (I ended up with Google Keep, but it's not ideal.) As soon as we get Keybase FS on Android, this kind of tool becomes extremely interesting.
I have tried a bunch. Notion is super cool, but doesn't do tables at this moment (though they seem to be working on it). Some apps have one level of nesting only, which is not enough structure for my use case. By now I have settled on Dropbox Paper. Also, having a WYSIWYG editor is cool, in raw Markdown links and images just do not look good for my taste (and tables, and more, compared to Dropbox Paper or Notion). Th…
Imo, raw markdown links look a lot better when you use [this style]. It's marginally more effort to write, but reads better and is easier to edit.

Good point, so far I've just used the default build options but I see there's a "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory" option so I'll enable this on the next build.

#48Still waiting for a nice rich text note taking tool that can compete with the likes of DevonThink and EverNote. I don't get the underlying fascination with using markdown.
I've used Voddoopad for years. It was amazing. As a person who organizes content and research based on links instead of folders, its wiki like structure was perfect.
I had high expectations when Gus Mueller sold the app to plausible, but they haven't invested enough on it since 2013.

That's exactly what I just built for myself. Flatnote, on the windows store (and soon on mac/Linux/mobile) is a rich-edit note app which stores files as .md files in the file system. Sync is handled by just putting your notes folder in Dropbox
Where can I follow your project? I currently use QOwnNotes on Linux which does exactly that, but would be keen to try some alternatives, in particular if you're working on a mobile version.
Here's a very basic page you can follow
Not open-sourced yet but will be very soon

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. Writing with Apple Pencil on iPad into the notes and seeing it appear on Mac and phone is a lot of fun and utility at the same time.
