It seems the export note as a pdf, html or markdown option does not work in the trial version. But it is not mentioned anywhere. Is it a bug or as I mentioned - nonfunctional in the trial version?

#242Shiny, and I love the interface/layout! This looks a lot like the Jupyter/IPython Notebook, which is a free and open source "scientist's notebook". If you're interested in mixing LaTeX, Markdown, and code from almost any language (Python, R, and Julia are very well-supported but there's an open kernel spec), then this might be a more appropriate tool for you to use. The Jupyter/IPython notebook default storage format…
Unfortunately, I don't have Mac, but from reading of the description on Quiver, I don't see any mention of executing the code in notes.
For me that was allways the killer feature of Jupyter :-)

I use Zim on Linux. When I saw the Quiver screenshots I thought "hey, this is very similar to Zim!"
Can you compare this to org-mode? Any advantages / disadvantages?
I don't know if you can compare ANYTHING to org-mode :P
But it is a small program, gtk gui (I think), it is WYSIWYG, has lots of plugins (calendar, todo, tex equations) and it is a Wiki. Even the calendar plugin is mostly a helper to create note-pages with the date as their title.

If we use 50 sculptors we can get it done in less than 20 minutes!
Oh man, that was a good one! Do kids these days even know about that book?
Probably not. Hell I've never even read the book. Instead I learned through experience and observation then later learning about the book and a summation of it :)

#245For a free alternative I recommend MacDown

#246Been using this for a few weeks, and it is great! I'm sure that, compared to Evernote, it misses features that are important to some, but it adds a few of its own and is so much faster to use it's in another league entirely. Looking forward to the upcoming iOS version. The one feature I miss the most, besides that, is something like Evernote's menu bar app, for quick entry/scratchpad.
If there is an iOS version I'll jump from NVAlt/SimpleNote to this plus dropbox and write a migrator
I would switch to Quiver in a heartbeat, but aside from iOS or at least some syncing functionality, it would have to do the following as well:
1. implement search just like nvALT does it. The particular interface to search is one of nvALT's best features, and I prefer it over the 'dropdown' interface that Quiver uses. 2. support for basic vim keybindings to switch between notes (j and k at least).

If you're on Mac just create a sparse encrypted DMG using Disk Utility, put it into Dropbox, bam you're done. http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/07/05/mac-dropbox-encrypted-vo... I prefer applications to focus on one thing and do it very well, and leave other orthogonal functionality to other applications or the OS to then do the other parts very well. In this respect Quiver is well designed, I tip my hat to the author.
Or a Truecrypt image across all systems.
Why exactly was this downvoted?

I like the ability to install apps from the Homebrew Cask Tap [1] to automate my laptop setup where possible. Apps that are only available in the App Store aren't usually installable this way. [1] https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask
True, but they're usually easy enough to install themselves.

I do! (I'm 23, 18 months into my first professional engineering gig)
