Is it possible to export a note? Are notes sharable?

#152This 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.
My Evernote file is over 20GB, thanks to Web Clipper. I've saved everything from recipe to interesting articles, dating back almost 10 years ago. For me, it is cool to be able to save web pages without worrying that the page / link will disappear in the future.
The only other alternative is DevonThink, which is pricey, but well worth its cost.

#153While we are at it. Has anyone tried Dropbox Paper for note taking?
I have. It works fine, just like a myriad of other note-taking methods.
I don't know that I'll ever settle on just one note-taking method. I'm too everywhere to have a single system.

#154May I suggest QOwnNotes as an alternative to this? It's also cross-platform (not sure about mobile) and it's not another shitty electron app.
To counter this a bit, I would rather run an Electron app than be greeted with this as the default interface: http://www.qownnotes.org/var/bekerle/storage/images/_aliases... I'll take an app that uses a bit more resources over something that looks like an IDE instead of a note-taking app any day. Currently using Inkdrop[0], which is not open source (but subscription based) and has a rather basic Android client, but i…
You can pretty much hide everything on QOwnNotes. I've mine to pretty much mirror every other note-taking app (just 3 columns)

#155Please change the name))) "Jopa" means ass in Russian... And, well...Joplin sounds like a resident of "Ass"-town
Janis Joplin was an icon of American music culture. I wouldn't be surprised if this program was named after her. Not to be insensitive to other cultures, but "this name sounds vaguely like this vulgar thing in another language" is not a strong reason to rename a project of this kind.
Yeah, I was thinking Janis Joplin, too. Another musician, Scott Joplin, also comes to mind.

#156Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes. I like transparency and I would like to live in a world where the products I consume don't assume and give me the choice of what data is sent on the back of my actions. In this case because the option was binary it was assumed I wanted geo-location data being sent. Let's consider the scenario where the data store containing these notes and their associated metadata was breached and owned. You then have the poten…
But you are given the option. I bet the app also stores timestamps along with the posts - should that be off by default as well because some are uncomfortable with divulging when they created their note?
Does a set of timestamps have the same informative value of the geolocation history of a user?
Would you affirm this in a formal risk assessment?

Pandoc is crap software. All the bugs makes it unusable for anything complicated.
What bugs? I've been using pandoc for years (admittedly mostly for markdown --> pdf/html/docx, sometimes with bibtex and interesting latex tweaks) and never run into a bug.
put a table in your documents, see what happens.

#158I'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…
Boostnote - https://boostnote.io/ I have been using it for a few months and it is working good for me with resilio as my sync tool but it works with dropbox also. So security is up to the way you sync your files. Works on Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android and is open source. Takes a bit more to setup but I like this app since it reminds me of the old PIM Programs of old and has a good markdown system. It also expo…
I just tried Boostnote and I was impressed. One thing I wish it did better was to make creating new notes easier and faster, like Notational Velocity (or nvAlt). I don't like to have to choose between markdown and snippet each time. In fact, I wish I could embed code within markdown (with the power of the code highlighting that it does with snippets), then it would be a perfect note app for me. Vim keybinding also seems to work well, although I wish for customizing all keybindings (hopefully coming in future version)

Yes, Evernote is pretty clunky but I’ve got a good 8 years of junk in in and that web clipper is a beast.
The web clipper is Evernote's core product. It hasn't been replicated commercially or in open source successfully.

#160Bit of a left-field question here: how hard would it be to integrate with Google Home where you could dictate your notes, listen to them or mark todos as completed?
