where does an Android app lie in your priorities?
People are building one using the API. It ranks after I'm satisfied with iOS + Web where I can iterate fast.
How committed are you to keeping the API open?

#172Really well done, especially for such a shorty turn around. I'm not sure I buy your reasoning though. I could be wrong, but I believe Notion does have native apps now. Also, despite not being dedicated to note-taking, it doesn't keep you from publishing simple, complexity-free, notes to the web.
Notion does not have native apps and during an AMA on reddit they also said there were no real plans on doing them. Even on Mac notion unfortunately does not allow offline usage.

#173Love this. A feature request: On mobile, have a shortcut for typing # and *. These are essential in markdown but unfortunately several clicks away on most mobile keyboards.

#174Any plans to add support for math notation? (Latex, MathJax, ...)

#175Amazing idea. Slick design. How do you embed YouTube videos though? Does it make use of iframe tag and set width to 100%?

#176Cool concept! The ability to easily blog from my phone is something I'd love to be to do. I think some others here commented that this is basically micro-blogging. Losts of people use long threads in Twitter, and other platforms, but it's cool to have something that you could export to your own domain or use with a reader.
I've been using a similar live markdown formatter for my personal knowledge base, which I started not long ago. But it's still not something that I can easily post to from my phone... https://l-o-o-s-e-d.net/knowledge-base/introduction
Will you release an Android version for us to try?

Congratulations. Do you know how the users discovered you? App Store? Do you do any marketing?
I tweeted about the process when I started about three weeks ago. Work with the garage open thing.
Would you mind sharing your Twitter? Would love to read about your development process.

#178I like the idea and approach a lot.
I think I'd like it more if the native app was decoupled from the backend such that I could also export my notes and re-appropriate them any way I want. As biz models go, charge for the native app.
Ultimately, I'd like more control, specifically of my data. That also means offering a self-hosted version.
I like the product. I like the experience. But I want to retain more control of what's mine.

Honestly, sounds like micro.blog and how I use it. Most importantly, micro.blog uses Micropub, an existing W3C standard API for blogging which is why things like Drafts, iAWriter, MarsEdit etc can all support it. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very cool project and it looks like you’ve done a great job. I would recommend looking into Micropub support though rather than role your own API. The IndieWeb group has worked…
It would be great if there was a good way to find existing projects that achieve what we seek. Usually, the biggest names are visible, and it's hard to find alternatives that achieve specific ideas.
