I've been using simplenote and kinda wanted to transition to plain text, the only thing stopping me is the mobile <-> desktop sync workflow which simplenote handles really nicely. Does anyone have any good ideas?
For me it’s not just the automatic syncing, but having a good app on all platforms that I really like using.
On my Mac, I also run a script that commits the simplenote db to git every hour or so and pushes it to Github. It's basically like a JSON file. So I don’t worry about simplenote getting shut down.
The basic app is simple, but has a good extensions API which means people can and have gone nuts with it.
