What does your dream note-taking app look like?
Just curious :)
1. Actual WYSIWYG but limiting some parameters so pages don't inherit ghost styles from copying&pasting, like indentation or margin rules you can't change later.
2. Not a Markdown-first approach like Obsidian/OutlineWiki, even if it comes with live preview, since I can't style certain elements like adding color to table cells.
3. A well thought out layout with a clear design vision. Instead of the overly customizable, plugin-centric approach of Obsidian, where I always end up wasting time trying to customize it to my taste, yet never getting it quite right, and where an update can break my changes.
4. It still allows code/markdown/txt boxes or inserted objects, like a linked spreadsheet, Python notebooks, formatted CSVs, etc.
5. Offline-first, each notebook in a file/folder structure of my own choosing.
6. Good mobile app.
I want a notes app that stores all notes in plain text using a standard folder structure, but also want support for things like images, handwriting, etc without having to manage the plain text linking out to external resources. These two concepts can’t currently coexist, so I pick my battles.
Do other people actually find their phones usable when they are (in case it isn't already clear) literally dreaming? I'm genuinely curious!
- unlimited capacity - undiminished performance with large collection of notes - a high level of confidence that the app and the app's owner will be in business in the decades to come.
2. Supports live Markdown rendering (and hides the Markdown syntax), so it's close to WYSIWYG.
3. Can handle images and other advanced blocks like Kanban. Yet, again, they are all plaintext underneath.
4. Supports drag and drop.
5. Cross-Platform.
6. Offline first.
7. Syncs easily.
Well, that's what I'm building at Plume[1], so I'm trying to make my dream come true.
