Simple and fast alternative to evernote I use right now for quick notes and links to gists and stuff. Will use it! Thanks for building this.

This is simply fantastic.

We have a 3 people dev team and are usually squandering around finding some function that we previously wrote but did not document. Going to go ahead and register and start using this.

Is this going to be free ?

Looks good. Methinks you should change the 3-char minimum password length to 8 minimum for typical security reasons.

Not sure I see the point... My IDE already lets me keep notes, contextualised to source file, project, project directory,... whatever. Why would I want to keep random notes in my browser? (Honest question; not trolling. After a couple of minutes playing with the site I just failed to see a value proposition. Perhaps I'm just too old/dumb/curmudgeonly.)

Hey thanks for your input. My main aim was to make a platform for developers to create formatted notes easily and be able to access them from anywhere. It sounds like your IDE already does this which may mean it isn't right for you - however, some features I am working on is the ability to share notes and view/vote on other users notes and then save them to your own notes collection. Again, thanks for the message!

Hey thanks for the feedback! Yes at this stage I plan for it to be free. Hope you enjoy it! If you want to see some upcoming features check out: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/32bjsx/a_...

My question is what assurance do I have that I'll be able to pull my notes out if/when StackNotes goes under or gets acquired? I've been burned a few times by services provided by startups (or not even startups, like Google Reader) going under, and I've learned to be careful of what I trust to a third party service.

More specifically, my question is why I should use StackNotes instead of an emacs org-mode file stored in a git repository?

Are there some sort of plugins that link the source with the notes? If there's no direct link between these, how do you remember you made some notes on a particular snippet?
