So the main difference between this and the Evernote app is the speed search that updates results realtime? I realize this is an MVP and please pardon my ignorance but why would I use this instead of Evernote (This is not a troll attempt, I'm not an avid user of evernote yet but have been using it more and more recently)?
- dantiberian 15y agoThere are many advantages of plain text over a proprietary format like Evernotes. http://www.macworld.com/article/161549/2011/08/forget_fancy_formatting_why_plain_text_is_best.html http://www.macworld.com/article/161549/2011/08/forget_fancy_... is a good start. Using plain text is supremely portable, lightweight and robust.
- thedaniel 15y agoThe main difference is that interface, and that it acts on a folder of simple text files rather than its own database format. I personally choose to use it because I prefer my notes to be text files so I can easily edit them with Notational Velocity on my mac, and emacs on any machine I have Dropbox connected to. It may be that the many features of Evernote are better for you - I personally used a variety of note-taking apps and just kept coming back to NV, so I wrote a companion for my phone.
