Simplenote was my favorite note taking app until it lost notes of mine a few years back.
I decided to give them another chance recently--hoping that these syncing issues had been cleared up--and Simplenote lost even more notes. It hasn't been dependable at all in my experience, and that's a shame because I love the interface and its focus on simplicity.
I'm excited that parts of it are going open-source. Hopefully the server will be made open so some of these core issues can be addressed.
- devindotcom 10y agoJust as a counter data point, I've never lost a note and it's been very dependable for me for at least 5 years or so. Still makes me nervous though now and then. But if you're worried about it you can set it up so that it keeps a local copy of your note library as well, just in case.
- lylejohnson 10y ago"Ditto". Longtime user (of the iOS app) and have never lost a note that I can recall.
- great_kraken 10y agoSame here, I would regularly have sync issues. Sometimes I'd see it happen while I was actually in the process of writing still.
- kwonye 10y agoSorry to hear! Next time you run into an issue, please don't hesitate to contact support/file an issue on Github.
- photomatt 10y agoDefinitely something we haven't heard lately. Every version of every note is saved, so if something goes wrong with a bad client you can always log into the web interface and look up the history. If it ever happens again contact support and we can look into the specifics.
- jleandroperez 10y agoAt it's very core, Simplenote relies on a library called Simperium (http://github.com/Simperium/simperium-ios/ http://github.com/Simperium/simperium-ios/). In the past few months / years, we've significantly improved both, it's performance and reliability. Sync'ing bugs are taken very seriously, if you ever experience any kind of glitch, please: just let us know. We'd be thrilled to have you back with us!
- erikpukinskis 10y agoYeah, it's funny I had the same experience with Evernote. Erased some notes during sync and I noped out of there. Went to Simplenote, which has been flawless for me but obviously your experience shows that the service isn't flawless. I just wish there was a note company who made "don't lose data" the #1 priority and built the architecture around treating that concept like a religion.
