Love it. I don't know if its any better than Byword, iA Writer, Mou or Notational Velocity (Still my absolute favorite). But I do like the interface and reminders feature. When I write, I like to keep my fingers on the keyboard so it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for displaying the note's details instead of clicking on the top right of the app. Also, how about an alternative dark interface for those of us that prefer writing during the night?

#22Looks 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)
I use and like iA writer too. The blue cursor idea is indeed from iA writer, though different blue. Probably I should mention it somewhere. Thanks for pointing this:)

No one compare it with Evernote on Mac or the built-in notes?
I made a few dark themes actually, but dark color doesn't match the default popoever color.

#24Very 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

#25This looks great! Is it possible to backup or export notes? That's the only thing stopping me from using it right now.

#26Very nice app here. Always have been interested in distraction-free writing apps. And this compares well to the other senior ones.
Does it save documents automatically?
Re: My first Mac App - a distraction-free note taking app
#27Great 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?

The only major difference I see is the search and note sidebar. Which, IMO, is an iOSified improvement over iA's file picker.

#29This looks very similar to iA Writer: http://www.iawriter.com/mac/
Probably because of the light interface and the blue cursor. I still use iA writer, but just for different purpose.

#30I 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...
