#2Hey! This looks cool for people that might use those backends.
What motivated you to do it? What are the benefits of using your client instead of the backends default ones?

#3Hello HN,
For the last few weeks I made my own notes client (mainly for [simplenote](https://simplenote.com/)) because the standard Electrum client felt pretty ... heavy.
Multiple backends are supported via plugins. Currently you can use it to access your notes on simplenote, Standard Note, Nectcloud/owncloud or no remote (aka local only).
I plan on adding Evernote support (only for plain, unformatted notes) and a better editor with a little bit of markdown highlighting (similiar to [qownnotes](http://www.qownnotes.org))
Tell me what you think and if you have ideas/criticism :D

Hi,
I have to admit it was mostly because I didn't like the electrum clients. I just felt wrong to have a program always in the background runnning that permanently uses 250MB RAM.
Also last time I tested it, it ran pretty slow on my machine. But it could be that this has become better.

You might want to indicate somewhere that this is for Windows only. I downloaded the source on my Linux machine and took a while figuring out that it's a MS Visual Studio project.

#10Just wanted to throw out there for any macOS users I use nvALT [0] as a client for simple note on my macbook and love using it as a scratch pad for holding data while working on a problem or just a general "I need to make a quick list on the fly here and then copy it into something else later". I have mine set to a hotkey so I can hide/show it quickly and it's great.
