Looks great! One thing I’d suggest (which still isn’t clear to me but interested enough to investigate later): make the note taking workflow clear…

* Is this a bunch of titled markdown docs organized (conceptually) into folders/hierarchically?

* Is this a bunch of untitled/title optional “cards” organized by tag?

* Is this a long, markdown document, which you append to?

These are similar to different mainstream and less so note taking systems, and would appreciate understanding what workflow you’ve designed and optimized around.

Saying you started as a Google Keep user is helpful, buy I’ve only used other systems (Homebrew textfiles, Simplenote, obsidian, etc), and have some concepts around what Evernote and OneNote are like, so giving a couple more signposts on usage would be helpful.

Thanks for the feedback. You're right I didn't really think about the fact that you may come from a very different system with different concepts. I'll explain the workflow better in the demo notes.

To answer your questions quickly, I usually keep very small notes just a few lines or todo checkboxes. One note per idea. But sometimes an idea grows over many days and that note gets much larger. There's no limit to how large a note can get.

You can always set the title of the note using # which is standard markdown, or leave a blank line after the first line and it automatically becomes the title.

There's no concept of tag per se but you can write #someTag and then literally search for #someTag. The search feature is just substring search over all the notes (no stemming or anything fancy).

Thanks for the clarification, still haven’t really played with it, but take it these are the mechanics (not the workflow)…

* You have a big chronologically ordered list of notes

* By default, all notes are in view

* You can make a title (instructions in demo), but significance of title is only internal to note (not for ordering/management)

* Big list of notes is union of two disjoint sets: pinned and unpinned

* Can view either all notes, pinned notes, or un-pinned notes

But not sure if I have that right. FWIW appreciate some of the design decisions I’m seeing, just haven’t had time to poke around to understand.

You're right. The order is chronological with the pinned notes at the top. User can toggle showing of pinned notes. There's also archived notes which you can find in the main menu (top-left corner).

In the beginning, I intended to add dragging of notes to change the order and organizing notes in folders. But, honestly, after using it for a while I realized that I don't really miss those features at all even though I have thousands of notes. As long as the search is fast I can always find what I need quickly.

Again, thank you. I'll add this info to the demo note.

Ah got it - pinned notes float to the top

FWIW agree with your call on not building too many organisational tools in

Thanks again for sharing; look forward to trying it out
