I have tried Bear, thanks. It's not good enough for me. For one, it's tied to Markdown, which I find distracting to work with, especially on mobile. (I don't understand the tech community's current obsession with Markdown; it's fine for documentation or Github comments and so on where there's a clear workflow separation between writing and publishing, but for personal tasks? Ugh.) Bear also makes the same mistake with regards to files that Evernote (and every other note-taking app for that matter) does, which is to only display them inline. If I dump in a bucketload of images into a note, they're all display as huge images that need to be resized. Actually, Bear doesn't support resizing images at all, all you can do is switch between displaying them full, and as thumbnail (just like Apple's Notes), which is even worse. Evernote's image editing/annotation mode is great, Bear doesn't have anything like that. No folder support. Evernote is also bad here, but it does allow you create "notebooks" and to "stack" notebooks inside each other. I like Bear's modern UI much more than Evernote's, but a note-taking app would have to be considerably better than Evernote for me to switch everything over, and it's unfortunately not. Sorry about the rant, talking about note-taking apps fires me up. :-) |
