notes

Thanks! I just installed and checked NoteKit out. While the interface didn't look right (on ElementaryOS), I think the developer did a very good job in creating the editor. The clickable todo lists, the Markdown that disappears automatically, the drawings, image integration, etc. All things I want to implement in Notes as well[1]. And yes, spellcheck is also something I plan to implement[2]. [1] https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/issues/317 [2] https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/issues/320

Not yet, but we're going to implement importing from .txt files. https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/issues/316

Yes, I started Notes in 2014 as a way for me to experiment with Qt and create an elegant-looking note-taking app for Linux. No automation for tasks yet. There is an idea to create a revamp editor [1] that will make this easier. I get what you mean tho, it will be very satisfying to have an animation that shows a task has been completed.

Developer here. The most obvious thing is the attention to aesthetics and user experience. The entire point of Notes was to create an application that invites people to write. This is why: - As you type, unnecessary widgets disappear so you can focus on your text. - The app doesn't allow you to customize much; there is a pre-defined selection of fonts. - But at the same time, Notes is still powerful enough. The website demonstrate most of the features well: https://www.get-notes.com I think this type of opinionated design makes people more focused. "The more things you can do instead of writing, the more tempted you will be to do those things instead of putting words on the page." You can also check my ideas for the future of Notes here: https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/wiki/Vision.
