This may not matter for you but it matters for me. Boostnote has very limited multi-editing capabilities, and while you could technically perform a search & replace with Boostnote's notes too they are stored in. Multi-note editing is fully supported, from starring/tagging multiple notes at once to performing a regex search & replace across your notes.
For instance I can use the fancy Markdown plugins I have in my editor easily. Notes are stored as plain Markdown files, you can also edit them with your editor of choice.
The only way of doing that with Boostnote is linking to the absolute-path of that file, which is not portable nor ergonomic.
It supports attachments, sooner or later you are going to need to add an image or pdf to a note. IMHO Notable is better than Boostnote for the following main reasons: I'm comparing Notable with Boostnote in the comparison table in the readme, you might want to give that a look. Notable is most definitely not an Evernote clone, which is what I'm coming from as well. But instead, I can choose not to use bloated applications and keep my workflow convenient, and my perfectly good computer still in use.
If someone was to force me to use an Electron app for chat and music, I'd proably have to either a) keep closing and opening browsers, b) launch the product I'm developing on a different machine (less convenient), c) upgrade my computer. There's only so much of it left before they just can't have everything they want working at the same time.įor instance, right now when I launch (and use for a while) Firefox and Chrome, Emacs, and a local instance of a product I'm working on, I'm nearly maxing out my machine's RAM.
Given the increase of bloat in software all across the board, most users are operating near the top of their RAM capacity, not the bottom. Which is what most users want and expect from their computers, and which is a fundamental feature of contemporary computers. It makes a difference when you want to use more programs at the same time. > Regarding the RAM as long as there's enough available I think it makes no difference performance-wise if I have 5gb or 2gb free.
Personally, I'm of a belief that the extra work necessary to do it with less resources is worthwhile and needs to be encouraged, which is why I a) actively avoid Electron apps, and b) speak up about it. I can understand you preferring to make life easier for yourself as a developer, leveraging your existing code and getting cross-platform support for free. And I realize that Electron performance story seems to be improving, bit by bit. So, when the stable build will be released you may have to pay for it.I see your point of view too. The only drawback Typora has is that it isn’t open source and according to their official website, it’s free only during the beta version. Typora also offers a Themes Gallery and detailed Support Documentation. Misc: Typewriter, Focus and Source Code Modes.Export to: HTML, PDF, ePub, Word, OpenOffice and a bunch of other formats.Extra Markdown features: Table of Content, Diagrams.Interface: Single pane seamless preview with live rendering support.It’s one of the most polished and feature-rich markdown editors we have encountered. When it comes to markdown editors, Typora is as simple and elegant as it gets.
In either case, you can refer to its GitHub releases page to explore options to install it on other Linux distros. If you didn’t know about Flatpak, I’d suggest you to check out our Flatpak guide. You can either utilize the Flatpak package available for any Linux distro or add the PPA to install it on a Debian-based distro using the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wereturtle/ppa If you want a dead simple, minimal and robust markdown editor without any fancy features, ghostwriter is really a good choice. Ghostwriter had a theme repository on GitHub if you want to explore making a custom theme for yourself. Misc: Focus & Hemingway Mode, Cheat sheet.Export to: HTML (& more by dependencies).Ghostwriter is a simple, distraction-free editor for markdown.
