Great work! I´ve been looking for something like this for quite a time!
C# syntax support would be welcomed.

#43It would be perfect that you add this on brew because most corporate mac users have no permission to download these type dmg except brew
"most"? I'd say that's actually an extremely weird and rare restriction.

#44I love this! I typically use a separate text editor for things like this, but the block idea is great and works with how my brain likes to group things. I know this is expanding the scope and complexity and probably opposite to what you're trying to do, but one thing that would be cool is to have different tabs. In my current workflow, I have a notepad for "working memory" which Heynote will easily replace. I also ha…
Yeah, at the moment I'm hesitant to add tab support (for the reasons that you stated), though I've definitely thought about it.

#45This is super cool, nice work! I've just used apple notes for this in the past when on my mac, but this is way nicer.

#46I use Apple Notes for this. It doesn’t do the calculations, or the syntax highlight. But, it mostly just revives whatever I paste into it, and allows me to copy it to wherever when needed.
Including images(screenshots), text with links etc.
The side benefit from using Apple Notes is that it is constantly and reliably syncing to my phone. So, I can always refer to stuff on the go.

#47This is so neat. Good work!
I've tried Obsidian, Notion, Typora, and a myriad of other local editors only to come back to vim every time.
My ideal text editor is one that has syntax highlighting, scratchpad, markdown support, block based editing, ability to link between documents and vim keybindings. No cloud login, AI assistant, cross-device sync, or other bloat.
I try to avoid using electron apps for lightweight tasks, but Heynote looks like its worth a try.

#48I'd love to get some feedback also :). Heynote Github Repo: https://github.com/heyman/heynote
Is it possible to use proportional (non-monospace) fonts? It’s not clear from the website. That would be a necessary feature for me.

#49Finally I can ditch Sublime text as a scratch pad. This is simpler to use. Good work!

This is great! One small suggestion: I'd love a shortcut to be able to insert the current date/time. Or perhaps track the time a block was created, and have an option to display that somewhere small on the UI for each block? I find it super helpful to have the date when search back through old notes like this.
