Yes, currently Mac-only, no cross-device support yet, but an iOS app is in planning.

"It should support data access for all time." - This is key for me after I had to convert my notes more than once between formats after the original app(s) went into extinction (beloved Circus Ponies Notebook). That's why I

Well… adding team server/support is the one thing I don't plan to add. I made this as an alternative to the many web-based Kanban/Trello-style apps when something "simple" will suffice. Everything is saved locally o

Developer here, Feedback is very welcome! It's an early beta so some features are still missing, but there should be enough to use it for smaller projects. Most things are drag & drop (adding images/links). Looking forward to

Even with a background task your app can be terminated by the system without further notice after the suspend event (e.g. when the user powers off the device). There's no orderly fashion in which an app can be terminated and save its d

Another huge pain point of UWP: the whole suspend/resume concept. UWP apps can't be closed by the user. The system manages the lifecycle and there's no way for a developer to know when the app will be terminated and when to s

Here's another stupid question: Can anybody start a new fork? Let's say, I invested in the original Bitcoin. Then somebody who has the marketing resources to build enough interest in a new coin comes along and decides to fork. Bec

So if the exchange price for BTC does not drop by the same amount of the exchange price for B2X, a fork essentially means money (dollars) is generated out of nothing and given to me as the owner of now 2 coins (one of each type)? Or in the

Ok, stupid question: in real dollars, if I sell my ONE coin just before a fork or my then TWO coins right after the fork, will I end up with the same dollar amount? For that to happen the old coin type would have to lose in price at which t

One more anecdote: I distribute a macOS app that uses PDF icons in an embedded WebView. Used to work fine, but since 10.12, scrolling the page up and down quickly crashes the app. My radar was closed as duplicate. I was hoping that this wou

Not constructive, but I couldn't help it: the title before editing was "Experimental Edge-Side Mustache Processing in Varnish (Edgestash)" Best headline I read in a while. This made my day :)

Another anecdote: I tried to buy Apple EarPods on Amazon. The first search result, ranked #13 in the best sellers claims "Apple EarPods Genuine OEM" for $9.99 when all reviews say "do not buy, not genuine!". How can Amaz

How does it save the files? Looks like they are kept in a database in ~/Library/Application Support. This would be awesome for keeping notes in plain text that will stand the test of time.

It's definitely not only relying on cursor movements. A simple $('iframe').contents().find('.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark').click() proved that I'm not a robot, without me touching the mouse.
