mliq··on Notes: Fast note-taking app, open-source, without Electron, built in Qt C++
Simplenote devotee here. This looks very similar so I'm intrigued. I like that you are adding folders as well as tags.

Only thing I really lack for in Simplenote is:

- Ability to find notes that have a certain combination of tags.

- Command palette type search with cmd+o/cmd+p/cmd+k

- Ability to open multiple windows in Mac

- More keyboard shortcuts

- Images is nice, but I'm afraid they make frequent backups larger and larger and syncs slower and slower, unless they are just a reference to a CDN maybe? This was my experience with Ulysses and I had to delete my photo notes.

mliq··on Ask HN: It's 2015 and I still can't program
I have found teamtreehouse.com and codeschool.com both more engaging than codeacademy, but it can be tough to stay focused unless you really want to build a particular thing, or, you have a group / class that you are working with to keep you focused and motivated.
mliq··on The Reign of Recycling
A completely neglected key factor is that it costs much less energy to manufacture recycled materials than virgin materials.

'A study ... found that it takes 10.4 million Btu to manufacture products from a ton of recyclables, compared to 23.3 million Btu for virgin materials. In contrast, the total energy for collecting, hauling and processing a ton of recyclables adds up to just 0.9 million Btu. The bottom line: We don't need to worry that recycling trucks are doing more harm than good.' - http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a3736/42...
