You could still access it from web. The interface isnt bad, but it’s web, so no native UI.
The web version has an incredibly obnoxious bug when it comes to using Enter. On Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04 hitting Enter once will not go to the next line. Hit Enter again and it will go down two lines. Works fine in Chromium but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to use Firefox, especially when Apple pretends to champion privacy...
Btw. I think git is too cumbersome for notes. I don't care about history and git log and I don't want to push things manually for notes.

It's amazing that people can witness POTUS 44→45 and still make "well I have nothing to hide" arguments :/ Unless you have a really short memory, I think you mean POTUS 39→45. And while by a lot of measures POTUS 45 has been a disaster, POTUS 44 did far more damage to privacy than 45 has (yet).
Can you elaborate on this please?
So singling out Trump isn't really relevant or even useful.
I use it everyday as it easily helps me organize huge amounts of data in a clean hierarchical manner. Give it a try, let me know what you think!
I’ve tried many, many different apps, and approaches over the years. On of my peeves is doing things twice, so here are, to my mind, the important decision making factors: 1. cross-device/platform support. Once I was entirely Apple, I settled on Drafts (post processing when necessary), and Apple Notes. If you have multiple OS’s involved, the decision is harder (Evernote). The logic is that I wanted some contextually…
There is a non-zero chance you won't always be on the same platform. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use the best app for your platform, but it's worth to think about how you migrate data out when that day comes. I've spent roughly a decade or so on each platform I've been on, and then moved on, because either the platform lost its way, or I needed different things. I've learned the painful way that you want data lib…
A printer and a url shortened would replace these
I searched far and wide for a good note taking app a few years ago, only to find that the best solution for me was right in front of me the entire time. git init fall2020 Git lets me keep track of everything, and I have free hosting at multiple different websites, or my own server if I want to. It's simple and customizable, and depending on what type of notes, I have different scripts to automate new notes and search…
The same can be accomplished with some iPad note taking apps.
Quick rant triggered by this... We have our - Cloud document systems (Google docs, Dropbox paper, Notion).... - Project management systems (Trello, Asana, Monday) - Todo/task/notes management (Keep, Todoist, Evernote) - Customer Ticketing systems (Zendesk, helpscout, freshdesk) - Bug/issue tracking systems (Pivotal, Jira, Github) - Crms (Salesforce, Hubspot, Streak) - And then theres even specialized customer facing…
Taking notes is a process. If you're tired of the apps, then you haven't put enough thought into the process. The available apps are fine. Picking a tool to solve a problem is the opposite approach to how you solve the problem. You instead need to define the problem and then find the tool which is the best fit. If you're frustrated with the tool, then you might need to put more thought into the problem.
An app is hidden away on my phone, and I need to actively open it to use it. But my bullet journal is always in my bag. It serves as a physical reminder. And it oddly gives me way more flexibility in how I structure it.
Being a software developer myself, the irony isn't lost me.
