I just downloaded this, tried it out. Fantastic work. The editor is excellent and behaves how I'd expect. I love the calendar right there. The app uses a small amount of memory/cpu.
What keeps me on Notes:
1. Subscription. I'd pay for a one time license. I'd pay for upgrades, but I'd want to own it.
2. It needs a mobile version with sync.
3. I don't see a way to switch into light mode.
I'd love to have this, but as latchkey says for a one-time purchase. Ideally, the app would be open source and available for Mac as well as Linux, so one could add bespoke extensions. Note the reason I say "open source" is not because I would want it for free, but because open source means I will still be able to use it in 20 years on whatever platform will be mine then.
Wish list:
- plug-in for Emacs, Atom and Sublime.
- versioning support (Git integration)
1. If you cancel your subscription you cannot add new notes, but you can still access, edit, move, etc. your existing notes. All features remain active (and you get updates, important for OS upgrades).
2. iOS and iCloud Drive support are planned
3. It changes between light and dark mode automatically with the setting of macOS.
2. Great! It doesn't do me any good to keep a shopping list in my notes and not be able to edit it at the super market. =)
3. This needs to be a setting that the user can choose. I like my OS dark, but my notes editor light.
2. agree, syncing is to a mobile device is required
2. iOS with iCloud support is planned.
