How is this different from Evernote? I use Evernote for this exact purpose using their notebooks and tags. The UI looks to be based on it as well.

You can't do syntax highlighting in Evernote. If you do syntax highlighting with another tool, then copy into Evernote, you won't be able to edit it again. That's the main reason I couldn't use Evernote for programming notes.

Quiver's code cells use the ACE editor (http://ace.c9.io/), which is a real code editor with syntax highlighting support for over 110 languages, 20+ themes, auto indent and outdent, etc.

Also, Evernote doesn't have Markdown support. Quiver has Markdown cells and live Markdown preview.

Seems quite useful to be used together with Evernote. Thanks.
