This looks really interesting, will check it out- the privacy aspect is very intriguing. However I must say that I find myself having difficulties adapting to a new note taking environment. I always seem to drift back to simple markdown notes in my preferred editor. Perhaps this is due to ease of access and how efficiently I am able to write markdown. The only real issue I have with this system is organization. It’s very difficult to track down a specific note in a file that I have not worked on recently. For more general note taking and journaling I still prefer pen and paper, but that is a whole other topic of discussion :)

Hey, thanks for checking Notesnook out. I was myself a pen & paper user for notes. That is why I designed Notesnook organization system around the concept of notebooks & topics because they are very easy to get used to: A notebook has multiple topics that can have multiple notes. (A single note can be under multiple topics - for flexibility). As for markdown, Notesnook supports most of the markdown spec so you won't have any problem there. I tried to make the app as simple and easy to use as possible because I am aware of how clunky and un-user-friendly many note-taking apps are. The aim is not to redesign (or reinvent) how to take notes but to improve & simplify it.

  I love the sound of that. So far I think the UX is incredibly sleek from my brief usage of the iOS app. Writing markdown feels really good, this will be a large improvement from the stock iOS app. Excited to check out the VS Code extension and desktop experience.

    I am really glad you liked it! > Excited to check out the VS Code extension and desktop experience. The VS Code extension & the desktop app are in the works. We also have plans for a Chrome extension and a CLI app (that will greatly make Notesnook editor/platform agnostic).
