This is awesome. I've downloaded and added by todos to it. But then I remembered, how do I backup my notes and todos?
Can you add a feature to back up this to git?

#272Earlier quoted context omitted.
My experience with apps built with Flutter is bad. Appflowy, for example, has extremely poor performance. Both in terms of loading large files and RAM usage. See my performance comparison of block editors[1]. I've built a block editor using Qt C++ and QML that is vastly more performant[2]. [1] https://imgur.com/ZL5QCS0 [2] https://www.get-plume.com/
Interesting, how old is that Appflowy build? I know Flutter got quite fast recently due to them changing their renderer from Skia to Impeller.
The latest version of Appflowy (currently v0.3.9.1). Maybe it's Appflowy implementation.

#273Love this! You just need to add auto evaluate code and done

#274Nitpicks: * On Linux, clicking the main "Download / Linux AppImage" button results in Windows .exe download instead of an .appimage. Clicking on the down arrow and selecting Linux does work, however. * The opening sentence of the description includes "it's" instead of the more correct "its".
> "it's" instead of the more correct "its".
"It's" = Contraction of "it is"
"Its" = possessive (but the origin long ago was also a contraction, that is a grammatical rabbit hole)
So "its" here is not just *more correct*, it is *correct*. The use of the contraction here is not *less correct*, it is *incorrect*. --Cheers!

#275Oh wow, i do exactly the same but with vim. After leaving vim for a period of flirtation with intellij i settled for vscode, well recently I am leaning towards cursor. But I always have a macvim window handy for notes and snippets. This might be a better suited tool though. Thanks!

#276Hi. Great work! I'll be giving this a try, as I always type my notes on txt files.
Any plans on adding support for tabs/multiple files? I usually have different files for different types of notes (todos, project notes, tmp file for random things, etc).

#277With the soaring popularity of Electron apps we need Electron to be distributed as a shared runtime.
so you want something akin to how the .NET Framework was included in Windows... what about different applications requiring different Electron versions?
In such rare case, it would download the required version. Having two separate Electron versions is still better than having ten in total, for each app separately.

#278This is awesome.... I'm super interested in polyglot file formats like this one. Huge congrats and I will definitely be giving it a try.
I've actually been working on my own project to combine Python+SQL+Markdwown+Rich Text into one reactive executable document. If any of you are interested here is a link: https://github.com/Zero-True/zero-true.

#279Good for you if this is useful to you. But from my point of view this is another low effort slap it together web technology text editor, with emphasis first on a cool name branding - false promises title (coolname.tld), with barely any features and added value on top of stack it is running, almost indistinguishable from next to dozen other so called productivity apps that usually stop being supported few years after launch, and overall almost unnecessary compared to fast, reliable, extendible but hard to make software like Sublime Text that probably outlast most software like this by decades.

#280This looks really promising! I just tried it out. A few pieces of feedback!
1. It seems like the save delay is a bit too long. If you reload the page within like 1s of writing, what you just wrote disappears. Maybe make that faster and/or include a confirmation that there's unsaved changes if you try to close so you don't lose changes.
2. I was expecting some of the other languages to evaluate too (specifically JS). Maybe I missed something, but it seems like just the Math blocks are evaluable? Does it work with JS too?
Some things I love: 1. Block concept! 2. It's a scratchpad, there's no files to save. I'd love to use this as a dev journal.
