#2Nice, will give it a try.
Advice, loose the uppercase on every word in

#3I just switched to the Joplin markdown note app (from DS Note, and Evernote before that). It’s free, works on desktop and mobile, etc etc. Frankly I love it and wish I switched earlier.
Anyone have a good comparison vs Inkdrop?

#4I like these apps because I’ve been trying note taking for 30 years and have had many false starts of solo projects over the years. So when someone releases it makes me a little happy.
I like markdown because the interoperability is high. I’d like a command line way to just create a new note in one line that gets stuck somewhere that can be added on or moved around later (eg, “note Inkdrop should be investigated and forked later on #notes #hn #app”).
My problem is that phones are just too slow for me to fire up and start a note so I tend to wait and forget before I can write down. I’ve seen a lot of approaches to digital zettelkasten [0], but the UX requires a lot of familiarity that lead me back to eventually (not) writing my own.

#5I'm of the "organize everything in random .md files spread throughout my filesystem" type, but my friends would find this handy, and the design is beautiful.

On the Mac, I wrote an Alfred workflow that lets me type "c this is a note" in Alfred, hit and the line is appended to a file called "cap.txt". I then go through that file at the end of the day.
On iOS, I just use Reminders app's quick launch action to create a new Reminder and go through them at the end of the day.
You can use Notes if you have longer texts?

I switched from Wunderlist to Todoist + Joplin (and I switched to Wunderlist from Google Inbox...)

#8Do you or do you plan to add any kind of sharing/collaborative editing to notes at all? Is the plugin system versatile enough to allow e.g. syncing notes to Jekyll blog posts?

#9> Electron Markdown editor with monthly subscription to boot.
Beautiful as it is, you're competing with Bear using the sub model, and my common sense to use buy-once native apps (like Sublime Text). This is a non-starter for me.

Most important comment. Took me about 3 unnecessary minutes to find that information; should have looked in the comments first.
