First creating an account for testing it out is a no-go for me.

#162Is the source code public?
how dare you

#163On the linked homepage I see "No ads. No trials. All our features are free!" But on the pricing page I see it costs money for 40+ cards. I'd consider unlimited cards a feature which makes the text on the homepage misleading (or just wrong).
I do like the concept of cards being children of other cards. That fits how I think about things. In obsidian I use folders and links, but I'd really like the folders to have some top level text associated with them.
I also think the price is way too high compared to free alternatives.

#164Not to take a dump on this product in particular but at this point I feel like there are more note-taking apps out there than people willing to pay for a note taking app. Why does everybody and their dog think that competing with the thing that comes with all my devices for free (Apple Notes, Google Keep) is a great business opportunity? I can’t seem to wrap my mind around this.
The same reason why all other pen manufacturers didn't give up when Pilot came out with their V5 gel pens or whatever.

#165This app looks very nice, and I love markdown. But I am not prepared to pay £8+ per month for a Markdown notes app that works on all my devices, especially if it exerts control over what I can do with my own files. I can sync my Markdown directory via Dropbox, iCloud, Nextcloud, etc and edit the files with things like Obsidian, 1Writer, VSCode or any one of hundreds of Markdown editors.
If you'd like to sync it yourself, then by all means do so. I don't necessarily understand comments like these, if the user doesn't like it, no one is forcing them to buy it, especially if there are other solutions as you've stated.
Well yeah, but OP presumably posted this on HN for feedback. I don't comments like these which criticize people... criticizing things.

#166I've always wondered how people build such clean interface. One of the best UIs I've seen in a while. Nice work!

Can i export your data as markdown?
The documentation states, that you can export "all the cards in the current Noteboard as a ZIP of markdown files" [1] So it looks like exporting is limited to a single "Noteboard". Without bulk export (better sync) features of all documents, this service is a complete non-started for me. [1] https://docs.supernotes.app/en/articles/3068672-exporting-pr...
The "Noteboard" is just the current view. If you're in the "Home" view that is a collection of all your cards, so exporting from there exports all of your cards in one go. We also have an API[1] that allows you to easily fetch the raw data (as JSON) directly if you want to export Supernotes-specific metadata that is not encapsulated in the Markdown.

Why can't I pay for major versions? V2, V3, V4.. if I don't want V5, fine.. I can move on
Because running multiple versions of a SaaS app is prohibitively complex. A way to get both the advantages of SaaS and desktop + mobile apps is yet to be invented and popularized to my knowledge. The only architecture approaching this that I'm aware of is Urbit.
I must not have been clear. I don’t want a SaaS app, just a native app and local files. Charge for the mobile app too, and let me handle the cloud storage with either iCloud or google drive or something else

Thanks for the plugin tips. I also really like Admonition[1] to make styled blocks to format notes. Sliding panes(Andy Matushcak Mode)[2] makes the experience just more natural than windows that need to be resized, etc when switching context. Found Admonition when learning about Zettelkasten via an efficient video by Artem Kirsanov[3]. Within 17 mins I got the system better than the scary 4 hour overkill vids out the…
Obsidian Admonition looks nice - thanks for the mention. I really hate quoting in markdown and miss the org-mode syntax of just marking the start/end, rather than having to edit every single line. This looks like it pretty much solves my complaints. And I'll check out sliding panes. It's fun for browsing Andy's website, but was skeptical I'd like it in my own Obsidian instance.
I go back and forth between normal windows and Andy but now with zettelkasten I think I'll stay with Andy as it allows to preview your networked notes in a linear manner.
Just peeked at dataview and I love it. Hope the overhead of creating the metadata in each note won't throw off my flow as I like to move at lightning speed (read chaotic).
