I need a product

10 pointshohohmm17 comments

I need a product. It's like Evernote, but with the interface of sublime. It syncs my notes automatically, and gives me a diff when there is conflict. Lots of hotkeys for fast typing, and switching between tabs. Better yet, with a complete history like git. I'll pay $30/year for this service.

Why don't use use git and sublime? Or better yet: Why don't you use git and vim.

I do not want the add/commit/pull cycle.

So, git hooked up to inotify?

"Note taking apps for programmers" is an awfully tough space to build a commercial product in.

Sublime doesn't really look like a business success story, and it seems like the asymptote for a product like you're asking for.

What about an interface for taking notes-as-code like this: http://fs_previews.kumpf.cc/

Scroll to the bottom for some of the syntax highlighting features I'm working on. Also try the fold/unfold buttons at the bottom.

Any feedback/thoughts would be great :)

Neat idea, but I'm afraid it may interfere with certain type of documents. I want it to be versatile first. Probably different modes? like normal text, auto text, ext.

It still needs a native client!

Onenote will give you a diff. And it has some hotkeys. It's a good program, but in its core it is made to be used with a mouse - so it might not be what you are looking for.

Have you tried Quiver? http://happenapps.com/#quiver. Unfortunately it's OSX only.

it's actually pretty close to what I need. Will try.

I currently use Quiver and save my notes to a google drive account. It gives me a similar workflow to what you're looking for, sans the ability to diff changes (unless I manually commit).

That looks extremely similar to http://www.notebooksapp.com. Is that the same app sold differently? I use notebooks app and am happy with it, always wanted a simple interface to my text/markdown files. But Quiver seems to have a few more options.

This is what the world needs to focus on right now.

Dropbox + git with some auto-commit scripts+ emacs + org-mode?

Or OneNote with Microsoft SkyDrive features?

https://code.visualstudio.com - use the new lite visual studio

Save the folder on dropbox. Do you know dropbox has history version

Create one script to commit to git. Call it from IDE

The best part is this is support on all platform

Anyone else need something?

Seems like you could set this up yourself using just Vim and Git(Hub).

Emacs + Org-mode
