What does HackerNews think of nvpy?
Simplenote syncing note-taking application, inspired by Notational Velocity and ResophNotes, but uglier and cross-platformerer.
For linux users, there is nvPy: https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy It's a pretty ugly skin, but it works.
1. dragging/pasting ideas from an idea section directly into a writing program. This is where s/he's sitting comfortably somewhere actually working.
2. Scribbling ideas "on the fly" - which can happen anywhere (on the bus, walking down the street, etc..)
For the second, I like simplenote[0] and their tagging feature. Lots of support for various OSes. On 32-bit LinuxMint, I'm using nvPY[1] since simplenote doesn't have a 32-bit deb.
In order to solve both problems, the writing program could support something like simplenote via plugin. This way s/he gets their left-hand, drag/paste panel.
Note: also like https://standardnotes.org/ but could not get it to run on my older phone, no 32-bit linux support.
* Emacs Orgmode
* nvPy (https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy)
* Asciidoctor files
* Gnumeric
I use native clients for simplenote on Mac and Android. It's pretty good.
* For years simplenote, first using RespohNotes under Wine, then writing https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy - a cross-platform and open source simplenote client in Python with tikinter. Currently looking for a new maintainer, because:
* Currently in an in-between phase editing Gollum wiki markdown pages with emacs 24 (sometimes I also use gollum to access and edit), all synced with unison, and using Google Keep on my phone.
* Currently working on hobby project, which will be the non-linear super visual (spatial perception and memory FTW!) cross-platform (large displays!!) note- and file-organizing interface I've been dreaming about for months now.
