What is Reddit's opinion of Boostnote?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I recommend Boostnote. Boostnote is an Open source note-taking app for programmers. It have got over 4,500 stars at GitHub. It focuses on writing Markdown note and code snippet quickly, can organized in a better way. You can sync data to multi-devices(Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS) via Dropbox. You can also write todo lists, flowcharts, sequences.

• 1) You will encounter same issue,as the ayatana support was dropped due to the age of its API (if I understood it correctly). Maybe the team will bring it back,or make something similar to allow indicators from apps that dont target elementaryOS. Im kinda waiting to see how and what will go down regarding this too.

• 2) There might be similar (electron based) apps like https://boostnote.io/ that could help you.Also there are quite a few nice eOS apps for writing,like https://github.com/lainsce/quilter and https://github.com/artemanufrij/trimdown .

• 3) Being that I do not have HiDPI screen on any device,I cant tell anything,apart that eOS does have superb support for such screens (based upon comments around interwebz)

i'll give Boostnote a shot. Syncing via iCloud storage seems possible .. don't know if it works cross platform, though. Downside: no iOS App yet. It's "coming soon" .. we already know that drill, haha

Hi, sorry for the long wait,

The local is using local storage to store the notes, so the notes are not on disk but directly stored in browser storage (still on disk but in the database).

The file system storage is of course storing the notes directly in a folder location on disk.

Cloud (now legacy cloud) is storing the notes in a cloud environment, with sync capabilities.

You use a file system when you want to store the notes on your disk, easily accessible, easily inspectable, easily synced by some external tool (google disk, dropbox, one drive).

You use local storage if you don't want to mess around with the file system and store the notes directly in-app data. They should still not be shared they should be in your local network.

You use cloud storage (now legacy) when you want to sync notes across different PCs, mobile phones, and different platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux).

Paid storages (at least after a certain amount of documents/users)

The new cloud space is similar to the legacy cloud but with a lot more features. The new cloud team space is similar to the legacy cloud but with more features and team collaboration.

Well, you thought wrong:

• this is r/vim, a subreddit dedicated to Vim… and that thing is not Vim,
• since that thing is not Vim and doesn't use Vim, why would you expect it or want it to source your .vimrc on startup?
• r/Boostnote is not their only support channel.

I also noticed there is a difference between the app on https://boostnote.io/ versus the github one, is it because they are releasing a new version which does not have everything ?

I used Notable for about two months but I ended up begrudgingly having to go back to Evernote. Some of the main issues were.

• Unable to search inside a particular note
• Lack of code highlighting
• Unable to open a note in a separate window

I think the app is great but due to those issues, I had to give it up.

Have you looked into boostnote.io? According to the Boostnote wiki on Syntax-Highlighting Swift should be supported.

Boostnote + Dropbox (or any other file sync)

Also in Ubuntu/Linux Chrome supports desktop apps. Login in to evernote/onenote's web view and create a desktop shortcut, and select open as separate windows. It'll feel like native. If you don't need offline access it'll work great.

The thing you need to realize about OneNote-type applications is that there is no need for this to be a dedicated server. We've been conditioned into this because OneNote only works with OneDrive, and Evernote was a web-based application, but there's no fundamental reason why this is so.

So you don't really need a note-taking app that has a "self-hosted" option, you just need an app that saves everything locally. Then you can synchronize your notes using a self-hosted file-sync solution like Nextcloud or Seafile.

I settled on Boostnote, and synchronize the files using Seafile.

Boostnote is good for editing and viewing markdown with embedded code snippets/charts/LaTeX. It is more convenient than using something like Atom/VS Code since you do not have to worry about installing packages to get the effect you want. It will not provide the same amount of flexibility as something like emacs + org mode.

I just came across Boostnote for taking notes. I too was using Notes but found it tough to skim through topics. I've been using this app for a little while and dig the formatting and minimalistic design. The formatting syntax is also very similar to Github's Markdown.

Google docs, though I am thinking about using boostnote to write down some ideas before deciding if I will actually use them. I've been also thinking about just building some sort of database, but that kinda seems a bit overkill atm.
