I absolutely love the idea by the way, can't wait to try it!
Cool! I like this. A couple suggestions: - Instead of asking "Are you sure" to delete an element, just go ahead and delete it, but make it undoable. This allows for quicker workflow. - If I double-click an empty space, I would like to immediately insert a Text element and start typing, without having to aim the mouse again and click Text. I'll probably be coming back to this when I need some note taking. Thanks for s…
Thanks for the feedback! I like the undo concept, that should be do-able. On the quick-typing thing I was thinking that I could make it so that if you just start typing with the insert thing open, it'll automatically put you in a text element. What do you think about that?
An interesting read none the less
This is a wonderful looking project, thanks for making it open source! I am thinking of forking it for my own side-project and contributing to the development if possible. As other commenters already noted, the UI/UX of the app will need some work. Just some initial thoughts: - Organisation of the notes is cumbersome: it wasn't clear to me what is meant with a note and a section, and how to actually start writing (I…
Here's vekker's list without the formatting: * Organisation of the notes is cumbersome: it wasn't clear to me what is meant with a note and a section, and how to actually start writing (I would expect to be able to start writing right away rather than first creating a notebook/section/note, choosing a title, etc...) * I would like to tag my notes à la Evernote, and filter notes based on this. * Speaking of searching/…
Mac seems relatively straightforward, but Windows seems like an absolute cluster.
I'm releasing my own free open-source desktop app built with Electron soon, and it seems like the biggest pain in the butt that no one seems to talk about.
Overall though I love the idea, upvoted! Might even give it a go. Solves some big problems I have with note-taking...I've resorted to Zotero + Cryptomator + Dropbox for my own setup.

Ha! Thanks for that, I'm mostly a lurker here so I was surprised to learn HN puts everything on one line, I thought indenting it was the only way to have a bulleted list.

There is no bulleted list format; just start the line with a bullet (such as a hyphen) and put a blank line between list items.
Now make it compelling for folks who like ONeNote!:)
- I was a bit lost in the empty state after dismissing the help.
(perhaps not immediately entering full screen mode would be good)
- Took me a second to realize the sticky-looking text isn't a note but rather the page.
(I may have been thrown off by the word 'notepad' in the HN post title)
- The '+ Note' and '+ Section' interleaved in what would be a nice outline is a little distracting.
It also creates the note/section at the end of the list whereas the action labels are at the start.

Another thing that adds friction in my eyes is that when editing text your first click changes the interface into text editing mode where the text neither stays at the position you've seen it before, nor can you actually interact with it with that first click. So when I see a word that I'd like to change and I click there, that will only spawn the edit window for that text object, instead of just placing a cursor there so I can directly edit it.
