Two things I look for in a note-taking app:

- How quickly can I create/update/delete

- How easily can I search and read

I love how you have solved the second part. I have to ask, how do you handle the first part?

Do you keep one editor always open to quickly edit the markdown files?

We’ve got an app we’re building, currently in alpha, that is tuned for both of these requirements. It is also super easy to get started. Try it out at https://NoteBrook.app early access code ALPHA2020. The version in production right now has real time sync, full text search, and heirarchical tags for organization. Note creation is super streamlined and on mobile you just hit enter 3 times at the end of a note to create it. On desktop, you use ctrl+enter.

Email us at hello at NoteBrook dot com if you want to be on the mailing list. New version launching this weekend with favoriting, deleting, and editing support. Beta out by end of month with apps on every major platform.

We are obsessed in our design with making everything as fast and streamlined as possible. For example, deleting notes is similar to gmail where it instant deletes instead of showing you a modal of “are you sure?”, but gives you an “undo” snack bar at the bottom if you didn’t mean to delete it, and you can search and find the note later with a deleted note filter if you ever do want to undelete it later. There is not a separate “note list” view, you can always see the full text of recent notes and can search filter all from a single page. Our entire side menu is just signup/login/sign out right now, everything else about the app is driven from the main UI!

Please give it a try and let us know what you think we should add next. Right now, we’re planning on adding image and file upload, markdown and code support, and full screen editors after we launch the beta with apps.

Sure, I signed up. Trying it out!

I use https://docsify.js.org/#/

It has a built in search, I dont know how good it is tough.

I edit it in my IDE. It's always in my "recent project tab" and I have the IDE open anytime I use or want to edit the notes anyway.

It doesn't need a special note-app, which makes it even easier to use it anywhere. docsify has a "edit on github"-addon, which would make it easy to even edit it in the browser.

I'm super partial to Joplin. It's open source and you can keep a cloud based backup of your notes in OneDrive or other third-party cloud storage.

The notes are all markdown which is exceedingly good for code notes, with the code blocks and highlighting. And quick to pick up.

Combine with Typora for a pretty UI for your editor and you have multi-device synced notes without vendor lock-in for free.

The Android app is usable but could be a little better. Desktop is solid.

I have something sort of like this and I just have a project folder on my desktop full of markdown. I add a new file, commit, and push. I like it fine when I’m in “work mode” at my laptop, but it’s a hassle when I want to add a note from my phone.
