This is just outstanding. It's so exactly what I wish for out of a scratch pad. My feature request to add to your pile (possibly a lonely one, since maybe it's just unique to how my brain works): I really want a scratch pad like this to have UX that supports "inverted" order. Meaning, new blocks get added to the top of the page instead of the bottom. The blocks naturally flow in descending order of creation rather th…

Yeah, large file sizes and some RAM overhead is a drawback that comes with Electron apps. However, it would never have been possible for me to make Heynote for all of Mac, Windows and Linux, on my spare time and within a reasonable timeframe, without Electron. Also, the CPU usage overhead for Heynote is minimal. It's one of the apps I use the most, and it's never among the programs that have used the most CPU. Yes, 2…
You might consider Flutter for desktop apps next time, as they are compiled to machine code and won't be nearly as heavy as Electron, plus you get automatic mobile and web support.
I've built a block editor using Qt C++ and QML that is vastly more performant[2].
I absolutely fucking love this concept, this is basically my Sublime Text but with steroids, everyone using Notion, Obsidian and such apps and here I am with a +10000 lines of plain text where I dump everything and I am more than happy, and this concept only makes it better, it's how I prefer to organize myself but now I can make blocks of it and format it, I love it, really. This blocks thing reminds me of Toad for…
There's a roadmap in my head and some tickets in my private Trello, but I should probably create Github issues for those.
There are a couple of main things that I want to add (file syncing support, timestamp metadata to blocks) and some general improvements. However I want to keep its simplicity, and I currently see Heynote as kind of complete when it comes to new concepts. Currently, I don't think I'm going to add tabs, and I'm not planning to make it into a "real" editor by adding the ability to open and save files.
Love this. This is exactly what I need. I have been using a WhatsApp group with just me, for this purpose, until now. Feature requests: - arch package - would really like the results of the math to be in buffer.txt and in Ctrl+a and copy. - changing font and color theme(I like the Nord one right now though!) Please keep it minimally colored as it is now so that changing color is just a simple matter of configuring a…
> would really like the results of the math to be in buffer.txt and in Ctrl+a and copy. Adding the results to lines that are copied from Math blocks should be doable, and I like that idea! I agree that it would also be nice with the results in buffer.txt, but because of implementation details it's harder to implement I think. > changing font and color theme At the moment, I'm leaning towards keeping the number of con…
Alright, if you ever lean the other way a tad bit, please allow configuration of fonts, I can try to contribute that feature next week. I don't mind fixed colors nearly as much.

Understandable. Check my comment (sibling to my parent comment) for a suggestion for the PWA you mentioned though!
I've found myself using Sublime Text in a similar manner (because it's crash-proof without saving to a named file).
I do use multiple buffers though (often ending up with too many and culling them like I do browser tabs).
I'd love to get some feedback also :). Heynote Github Repo: https://github.com/heyman/heynote
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.
One thing that often trips me up is that links and code formatting cannot coexist:
[`method_name`](https://github.com/example/example/blob/main/src/foo.rs)

Any chance of an arm64 build for Linux? I'm sure I could build it myself but it'd be nice if I didn't have to!
Have you tried emacs org-mode with code blocks? One can even execute them. (I never tried myself)
Have you considered any other emacs-based options?
