Hi Fabio,

Congratulations on Notable, it's very slick, and exactly the kind of note taking app I was after.

I'm mostly concerned about keeping my data offline these days, so Google Keep and Evernote were no fit for me. I take tons of notes every day, and ended up using the note app from Kontact (the PIM suite for KDE), mostly because I'm a heavy KDE user and it was properly integrated with Akonadi (KDE's PIM backend). But it is very raw, especially compared to Notable.

Given Notable data is just plain text, it means I can get it indexed by Baloo (KDE's desktop search), so it's perfect for me. Thanks a lot :) And nevermind Electron haters, having an app in an AppImage, released on github, so that I can subscribe to release's RSS feed and just download/drop the update if I want to is furiously awesome.

One suggestion : I would love, when I create a new note when having a Notebook selected, that this new note is automatically added with this tag (currently, manually importing data from Kontact is painfully long). Autocompletion of tags could do too.

I'm glad you like it too :)

Definitely, tag autocompletion may be a bit tricky but putting the note in the current tag should be implemented quickly.
