I'm not so sure about the "open format" part.
Quiver stores notes in .qvnote, which I wouldn't call open. They have "Quiver Notebooks", where in Notable notebooks are just special tags, which are stored as Markdown front matter.
IMHO Quiver is somewhat weird, they have a concept of "cells", you write Markdown inside a "Markdown Cell", there also a "Text" cell, a "LaTeX" cell etc. IMHO this complicates things unnecessarily. If you only support Markdown you can get rid of the Text cell, the LaTeX cell is also weird, it would be much more portable to just define a LaTeX code block and then at render-time render that into the actual result.
Once you get rid of this "cells" concept you can get rid of .qvnote too and just store notes in Markdown.
Btw I'm comparing Notable against Quiver too in the comparison table [1].

- fabiospampinato 8y agoFair enough. If it's documented I'd say it's open. But it's still an odd design choice IMHO.
