It would be really cool to have an allow-plaintext-only option (and monospaced font).
I know it’s probably too late for this, and I’m probably in the minority wanting this, but markdown is too complicated for my note-taking.

Re: Show HN: Collected Notes – A note-taking blogging app I made
#32Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…
If you add math support, I'd give it a try
You mean math symbols? Thought about doing that

Just append .text to any note (.json and .md also work) :)

Thank you! so far since Saturday (when I launched it) it has 2k+ users and 50+ paid customers :)
Congratulations. Do you know how the users discovered you? App Store? Do you do any marketing?
I tweeted about the process when I started about three weeks ago. Work with the garage open thing.

#35Simple, I love it. I went down the rabbit hole of roam and notion. The "just works" aspects of this is great.
Thank you, I plan to add bi-directional linking but not in the way Roam does it.

Good idea, I just wanted it to be less noisy or pushy. The terms and Policies I got from a friend’s website (with his permission) that’s very similar. Anything odd that you spot?
Nothing really except your hero page button is off center in mobile, but that's about it
Will take a look thanks!

Yes, please do! My job involves a lot of math, so it a dealbreaker for me when notetaking software doesn't have math support. These days it's very easy to include! The easiest way is to use KaTeX [1] to render math between dollar sign tags for inline math like this $x+y=5$ and for display math like this:
$$
\int_a^b f(x) dx
$$
(I'm currently working on adding wysiwyg math editing to ProseMirror -- see the gifs here [3] for an early proof of concept).

Sold. I’ll take a look.
