This looks fantastic.
I watched through the video and looked on the feature page, but couldn't figure out two key things:
- Is there a way to do a text search on all your notes?
- Are your notes saved in any sort of exportable format?

#52I was expecting a Trial version to try out, whether it fits my workflow, but its not there. Please consider adding a trial version.
I know and I understand.
I wish Apple allowed you to do that but for now they don't.
I have talked to paddle.net and binpress.com about making it available through their services. You can sign up to the newsletter if you want to be notified about things like that.

Hi bryan and thank you very much for your kind words.
To answer your quesitons.
- not for now
- not really they are archived objects
Now this will change in future updates so if you are on the fence just sign up for the newsletter to be notified.
Alternatively buy the app and send us a mail then we can add you to the beta-tester list so you get access to some of these things as soon as they are deployed for the betal build.

#54Awesome idea. Just bought it. Would have paid more too. This could become central to my workflow.
I've been using Trello or separate files for a lot of this type of stuff, but it's sometimes less than obvious where I took the note.

#55The note should open upon clicking on something with a note (as an option, as I can see this annoying some users), or do some sort of indication on the icon that there is a note. I will forget to use it properly as it is, but I can see it having tremendous value otherwise.
coming... :)

Fantastic and yes we do see this becoming central especially when you can customize the applescripts. (Next update)

Testing it now. Is there a way to have a note attach to any url on the same TLD?
For instance, there's some custom text I paste as my signature in a certain forum. For that forum, I'd like to be able to set the note to apply to the whole TLD.
Whereas for other pages, like say articles on a page, it would make sense to have notes apply to individual urls.

#58Your logo looks similar to Ghostly's http://www.theghostlystore.com/
It also looks similar to a goodly proportion of the results of a Google image search for "cute ghost"... which I think is inevitably what happens when you use a generically recognisable device like that.

#59Holy crap. Looked at the site and thought, "hey, pretty cool. I don't know what I would use it for, though." And then I watched the video and have been coming up with use cases non-stop. Starting with adding vim key-bindings I'm trying to learn to iTerm. Bye-bye yellow-stickies all over my monitor!
Fantastic. Please don't hesitate to share your other use cases. What I have found is that once you get your head around it's contextual you realize that this is how everything should work. If you end up buying it send me a note and I will add you to the betal list so you can get acces to the new version with applescript support.
I thought it should be integrated in the OS, applications would set the context through the API. Software like this reads the context and manages the notes. That's to say I had a good impression, and I hope to see it on Windows one of these days.

#60Also a humble request. I literally went through 3 developers and too much money until I was so luck to find @jimmyhoughjr. Jimmys primary expertise is iOS but I convinced him to help me out on this project for the money I could afford. Jimmy could use some freelance work as he has been out of work for while now (and live in the mid-west). So if you need an extra hand on som iOS work don't hesitate to connect with him…
Is there any way to contact @jimmyhoughjr other than via Twitter? Thanks!
