I use Typora https://typora.io/ which has most of the functionality including Markdown, Code blocks with syntax highlighting, LateX segments, and is more importantly free and cross platform. It has recently added file list preview and tree view like functionality. Only missing on tags which are tricky because they break its pure markdown flat file philosophy.
Since Quiver is only usable on Apple platforms, I've instead started using Boostnote. It doesn't quite have the same featureset, but it's still a great way of collecting formatted notes and storing them on Dropbox/GDrive.

> Seems interesting and something I need. But it is available only for Mac? Yes, which is ironic because the app is packaged using Electron, which is supposed to be cross-platform. The developers should have developed this app using native libraries instead to offer a good performance.
> the app is packaged using Electron Native developers just can't win anymore. Here someone wrote a native application for macOS using native widgets and getting native performance, and all Hacker News can do is complain that it's Electron-based when it's not. Seriously, if we're at the point where you just can't tell if it's native or Electron, I think it's time for the anti-Electron brigade to come to an end.

We're really not. I don't know where the parent here got this daft idea, but you can be sure it wasn't from actually trying Quiver. It's gobsmackingly obvious that it's a true Cocoa app.
Having a personal notebook is a game changer. If you don't have yet, I highly recommend, tool is not that important... I just use Emacs and Markdown. It's like my permanent memory, and it's public: https://github.com/azer/notebook I even got a pull request once about a note on parenting :) Specifically about coding, the best thing is, I can quickly open a note within my editor. For example, I forget some rules about…
Apart from it being a bunch of Markdown files, what tools do you use with it? I keep trying org-mode but keep getting annoyed that it isn't Markdown. I'd love to find a Markdown equivalent.

I've glossed over their website and can't figure out if it's opensource or not

I've been using Vim and Vimwiki https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki to scratch a similar itch. I wish I was more consistent in using it though.
Vimwiki in a repository makes it easy to share between workstations (and different platforms).

If the tools provides good value, charging for it should be OK as long as it is reasonable. The caveat I place is that the data should not held hostage.
