Notational Velocity and nvALT, classic macOS note-taking apps, are back

Looks like nvAlt didn’t pull the database storage upgrades from the new NV. There are GH issues of people losing data from older versions so I’d assume those bugs remain.

The nvAlt commits are rapid fire and no longer come from elasticThreads, so I’m assuming the other author is just vibe coding now without understanding the original codebase.

I used to use nvALT extensively, and I waited and waited for nvUltra to come out of beta, but it's been Coming Real Soon Now for more than 5 years, and I don't even use macOS as my primary OS anymore.

Fortunately, we are spoiled for high quality note taking and knowledge management apps these days, and many of those either support markdown syntax in writing (e.g. Outline, Trilium) or are directly markdown based (Obsidian).
