How does this substantially advance the {sublime/code/emacs/vim/atom} + texlive + pandoc + git workflow?
It's simpler and faster. The whole process of {sublime/code/emacs/vim/atom} + texlive + pandoc + git is too much for me, while I can you boostnote and backup my note folder to the cloud (using git is fine because it produces Json output)
I've been using it for a month now and it definitely replaced onenote / keep / markdown in folders based note and snippet saving workflow for me.
The road map seems promising also, I'll definitely keep an eye on it as well.
Hi Kazup, I wish your app has a web version. I think it is very hard to compete in a already-crowded note-taking applications without a web version, even though some existing apps are not open-source or developers-friendly like yours.
Thank you for your feedback! We will consider it!
You got my attention with the open-sourced not taking app for programmers. I downloaded it because it was free and had markdown support. This project could even better if it tried to up-sell people with a SaaS offering that would sync all of the desktop apps under a a certain account, but also offer an open source version of that.
Your application is good and promising. Gave up on Evernote months ago and found yours. Still, some features are yet to be perfect but a decent alternative.
I have been using Boostnote for a while. Very happy with the support I got from the community and the feature
Thank you happy using :)
Since it's for programmers. I expected some code tangling ala orgmode..
What is "tangling ala orgmode"?
I think you may have read that wrong:
(code tangling) a la orgmode.
"a la" means "like" or "in the same way/style".[1]
I believe "code tangling" has some connection to literate programming and mixing code with documentation. But I'm not exactly sure.
Keep up the good work Kazu! I was surprised when I saw this on Hacker News!

Does it support Vim keys?
Yes, you can set Vim key-bind from Menu -> UI -> EditorKeymap.
Awesome, I'll check it out
typo ---> "progammers" just like you.
Thank you! I fixed it :)
I also wonder how this compares to Quiver (which I've been happily using for a while now).
