"Updated: Dec 19, 2017" Stalled? Everything has limits, which are the ones you found? I am not related to the app, nor a user. I am simply curious.

  The Dec update was a couple of minor bugfixes. It had been a long time since the previous update, and there haven’t been new features for ages. It is quite featureful, so this isn’t egregious, but it is indicative of an app that you’d have to say is, at best, in caretaker mode now. There are a ton of unaddressed bugs at https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/issues https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/issues. Also the iOS version had been in beta for a long time, and was eventually released in attenuated form (a free read-only notes viewer). I’m not writing this to bag the app at all. It’s still my primary note-taking app. But on present evidence I don’t think anyone would say it has a great future. Quiver got a lot right, at least for me, and hit a kind of sweet spot between the overwhelming closed-platform-centricity of Evernote, and the minimalistic text-oriented note apps. And it was for the most part nicely implemented - performant, very mac-idiomatic, and with lots of nice usability touches. I still have ambitions to build apps based on its notebook files, just because I want to continue using it for my notes now, but suspect the app itself has a limited lifespan.
