![]() It's basically a website with access to the filesystem so it should be pretty doable. > It seems all Typescript/React based, it could be doable to port it to a webview? I touch this point in the tutorial notes that get loaded into the app upon first instantiation so be sure to read that, basically you can put your notes in Dropbox and edit them with any text editor available. I personally never write notes from my phone so that's not a priority for me, but maybe if the app gets popular enough I could port the app to mobile and/or make a webapp for it. > any thoughts/plans of how this could be used on Mobile? It's pretty bear-bones actually, but some more advanced features could be implemented in the future. I'm not familiar with the search capabilities of OneNote, right now there's only fuzzy search in Notable. > I really love the searching capabilities in OneNote, I hope this one has similar stuff. 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). 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. 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. But it is very raw, especially compared to Notable. 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). I'm mostly concerned about keeping my data offline these days, so Google Keep and Evernote were no fit for me. I don't like the dual pane editor, but if I disable it there's no (documented?) shortcut for switching between editing and preview mode.Ĭongratulations on Notable, it's very slick, and exactly the kind of note taking app I was after. Notable can and it preserves both tags and attachments. This may not matter for you but it matters for me. Boostnote has very limited multi-editing capabilities, and while you could technically perform a search & replace with Boostnote's notes too they are stored in. Multi-note editing is fully supported, from starring/tagging multiple notes at once to performing a regex search & replace across your notes. For instance I can use the fancy Markdown plugins I have in my editor easily. Notes are stored as plain Markdown files, you can also edit them with your editor of choice. The only way of doing that with Boostnote is linking to the absolute-path of that file, which is not portable nor ergonomic. It supports attachments, sooner or later you are going to need to add an image or pdf to a note. IMHO Notable is better than Boostnote for the following main reasons: ![]() I'm comparing Notable with Boostnote in the comparison table in the readme, you might want to give that a look. Notable is most definitely not an Evernote clone, which is what I'm coming from as well. But instead, I can choose not to use bloated applications and keep my workflow convenient, and my perfectly good computer still in use. If someone was to force me to use an Electron app for chat and music, I'd proably have to either a) keep closing and opening browsers, b) launch the product I'm developing on a different machine (less convenient), c) upgrade my computer. ![]() There's only so much of it left before they just can't have everything they want working at the same time.įor instance, right now when I launch (and use for a while) Firefox and Chrome, Emacs, and a local instance of a product I'm working on, I'm nearly maxing out my machine's RAM. Given the increase of bloat in software all across the board, most users are operating near the top of their RAM capacity, not the bottom. Which is what most users want and expect from their computers, and which is a fundamental feature of contemporary computers. It makes a difference when you want to use more programs at the same time. > Regarding the RAM as long as there's enough available I think it makes no difference performance-wise if I have 5gb or 2gb free. Personally, I'm of a belief that the extra work necessary to do it with less resources is worthwhile and needs to be encouraged, which is why I a) actively avoid Electron apps, and b) speak up about it. I can understand you preferring to make life easier for yourself as a developer, leveraging your existing code and getting cross-platform support for free. And I realize that Electron performance story seems to be improving, bit by bit.
