Wow, I really like this. I'd pay $15 if it had the ability to write in / import / export markdown.

Good point. Do you know any good screenshots tool on Mac? I used the built-in Grab on Mac.
SnapNDrag. Looks like they've got an app in the mac app store now, but they also still have a free downloadable dmg, and it's totally worth taking a look. BTW, did you mean "Rediscover the joy..." It says "Rediscovery the joy..."
Will give it a try.
Is rediscovery a noun?

#13Congrats on your first mac app! Rather than spelling out features (or the lack of features), it is much better to show them the features through screenshots on the page. A link to a page dedicated to screenshots creates friction and the lack of description can be confusing.

I actually removed the feature, I wasn't sure people would want it.

"...it is much better to show them the features through screenshots on the page."
I actually appreciated that he gave a concise description of the product and its features up front, before I invested time in looking at screenshots.
It might be the design imperative du jour, but too many of the cookie-cutter Bootstrap pages we're seeing are horribly conceived in terms of UX. If the page requires that I scroll endlessly through pages and pages of screenshots and text just to get a basic understanding of the product and get introduced to its feature set, that's too much friction.

Yes.

#17Great 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)

#18How does it compare to something like iA Writer?
Re: My first Mac App - a distraction-free note taking app
#19Looks like a nice app, congrats.
Q: What are your thoughts about how similar it looks to iaWriter?
(http://www.iawriter.com/mac/)
e.g. right down to the blue color of the cursor bar ... and not to mention the website itself (load the two side by side and have a look)

#20This looks very similar to iA Writer: http://www.iawriter.com/mac/
