Great app! I use everything from textmate to vim for taking notes on mac. Looking forward to the sync feature. It will be helpful if the app allows for creation of protected notes (I currently use encrypted text files `vim -x` to create/store things like card info etc)

Thanks:) I used to use textmate for taking notes. A question, why do you want a encrypted note? Is it because you also work on public computer?

No, i work on my own laptop. I encrypt these notes because: - I dont want to store them in plain text. It feels unsafe :) - I want to copy paste my card/account info easily so I still need them around on my laptop

Cool! I'd pay for markdown and simplenote sync support ;)

Yeah, many people asking for Cloud feature. I am working on that:)

iCloud is a must for any note app. I definitely like putting something on my iPhone then checking my iPad/iMac later in the day to read/edit it later on a bigger screen. Congratulations on your app!

I like it - is there a way to find the notes as (if possible text-) files or maybe even set the directory where they are served? Would be awesome if I could set it to the same Dropbox directory as NValt.

Notes are automatically stored in a database at /Users/{Your-username}/Library/Application Support/Lesen.lenote/lenote.sqlite. I am working on the cloud feature:)

Very good app, you should get inspired by nvALT, for instance: - real-time filter as you search - sync with Simplenote - ability to show / hide the sidebar - show notes as a list above the note rather than on the side - show markdown as HTML - bookmarks

Seems many people use simplenote, what's the differences between simplenote and evernote? I haven't used simplenote.

It is text only, and there is a synchronization API

I stared at the landing page for a few seconds, waiting for it to do something. Then, I clicked around furiously trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. Then I accidentally scrolled down and found the content. The landing page is a little confusing...

Probably because of bad network connection, try reload it.
