I'm the author of simplenote.el. Deft looks very interesting and I am happy that simplenote.el was of some use to Jason for writing Deft. As a sidenote, I am always pleasantly surprised when I hear that people are using simplenote.el; this was just a small personal project that I put on github on a whim.

You should not expect much more to happen with simplenote.el since I don't feel very motivated to work on it anymore. When I first wrote simplenote.el the Simplenote app and platform were perfect. Since then Simplenote has changed to a direction that I don't like (tags, different pay model) [1]. Furthermore, I have been lately traveling a lot to China and Appspot is blocked there. This limits the usefulness of Simplenote.

I do plan to rewrite simplenote.el for Simplenote's API2 and clean up the code but at the moment I don't plan to add any new features. In particular, I don't plan to add any support for tags. Of course everybody is welcome to fork simplenote.el and continue its development.

[1]: I understand that most Simplenote users are happy with these changes and actually Simperium has done a great job in adding features in an unobtrusive way.

I appreciate you creating simplenote.el. I understand disagreeing with direction platform taken, particularly if you are personally unable to take advantage of it.

As far as forking, would you consider merging in tag support into your version, if someone were to send you a patch?

I was using simplenote.el for a bit as well, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
