I'd like to commit to it, but seeing that you might suddenly add a pricing tier (which might be imcompatible with our needs) adds a psychological barrier.

Perhaps you can add a pricing so I know it will

a) be sustainable b) know how much to expect to pay

Overall it's quite nice, but so rudimentary that in its current form, I can see no advantage whatsoever over some general-purpose, well established alternative such as Evernote. If it's primarily targetted for (learning) developers, it'd better have some specialized, dedicated features - eg. easy management of code excerpts, with syntax highlighting etc. Regarding the UX, I also can't grasp why the dashboard seems to…

Hey thanks for the reply and feedback! The site is still new and in beta and not all the features are out yet for what I want to be the official release. In regards to code highlighting and excerpts I feel the site already does this (check out the support link) however if you had some other feature in mind I'd love to hear it. With the UX and dashboard statistics, I put them in there as a way to engage the user more and make it more of a fun process to always actively be adding notes, however I would love to hear what you think should be in it's place. Thanks again for the feedback!

I feel thats a fair statement and had another user post on there the exact same thing. I changed that statement to read 100% free. Thanks for your feedback!

Hey thanks for your message. I understand your hesitation and security is something that I will definitely be working on. However, if you are like me, you won't ever "shake the worry" that something isn't entirely safe and even if we did have the worlds best security I would still recommend against putting extremely sensitive information in there or any site for that matter.

This looks nice. The "Relevant to" dropdown should be sorted alphabetically, and in my opinion, default to "General". I also don't see why description shouldn't be allowed to be left blank. I added a tag to a note, but if I search for that tag, there are no results. I think "favourite notes" and "favourite folders" should be given higher priority than the rather meaningless statistics on the dashboard.

Hey thanks for your feedback. I have implemented those changes you suggested and its live again check it out. Cheers

If the proliferation of nanoservices like this goes on unfettered, I will have to be signed into 173.58 services before the first window on my desktop opens. What am I saying, “desktop” has of course been replaced by “browser”, unless I also subscribed to a “desktop” service.

Agreed. If this was open sourced I'd be more comfortable. Investing that much effort to document everything in a new product is, well, scary.

Few idea's:

- Add social logins via Github

- Github repo integration, so you can add notes per repo as well as down to the file level if you wish.

- Pull in gists. I'd rather store code in gists then use this tool to help organize them with tags/labels, etc.
