#12Looks like a much more refined and finished product than my own notebook app: https://github.com/m0ngr31/DailyNotes
I wonder how it compares to Noteplan (my original inspiration).

I don't think it is a finished product, hence only a landing page and the fact it's "early access".

Yeah but this one is an all-in-one
notebook for creatives!
Re: Clover: An all-in-one notebook
#15Very interesting. This feels like a fusion of my favorite tools: OneNote and Todoist. The command line is a great feature - Todoist executes on it well, also the Outlook app but on macOS only for some reason.
This appears to solve a major gripe with OneNote: it is really hard to style and get things looking like I want them to. It also lacks formatted code display - the whole Office suite is surprisingly very behind here. It’s a shame, since I know at least in the past MS used word for their internal technical documentation, so they should be feeling this pain daily.
The competition is fierce, but the offering appears strong enough to overcome my “it’s just another note taking app, haven’t they heard of OneNote” instinct. As a user I’m hoping that OneNote and Doist will pull an Instagram and copy some or all of these features.
I love using software that inspires me with its design.

#16For what it’s worth (and maybe I’m just dumb). It took me a lot of scrolling to realize they weren’t selling hardware.
Me too. I think maybe they forgot that "notebook" also has a hardware connotation.

#17It looks very pretty, but leaves me wondering what is the problem I’d have where Clover is better than other note-taking apps?
This is a common problem with product landing pages like these. They show off some cool features but don’t do a good job connecting them together as a clear vision that demonstrates insight about the intended users’ situation.

#18Looks pretty clean. I wonder about a) pricing / distribution model and b) compatibility with other tools i.e. if you use open formats. Note: Displaying email addresses in uppercase is bad UX, since emails are mostly, but not always case insensitive.
One time only: Yes.
Recurring monthly: NEVER.
There are bazillion apps out there, mostly free or comes with free tier. Unless this is $9.99 or lower, I would never consider. Just my opinion.

Yup,
Took me till the color picker.

#20I use markdown in Writer and physical notebooks myself.
Both lack the ability to easily add pictures.
Bad iPad integration will be a killer for me though.
Worth a look, I suppose.
