Notable

Clean and efficient note application. Rendering is very nice and as I am a Markdown’s fan, it’s a pleasure to use it.

The +: Markdown, tags, favorites, saves on cloud
The -: you need to edit/save the notes. You lose a little time compared to some other applications.

A nice alternative to ResophNotes for me.

Very clean and beautiful interface. Everything can be done from the keyboard. The hierarchical tags are a unique feature and help a lot organizing your notes. Since it uses a well-known renderer for Github-flavored markdown text, your notes can contain diagrams, tables, emojis and syntax-highlighted source code.

There are only two things which I miss: spell-checking, and having multiple notes folders as for instance VNote supports them. The latter are handled by Notable through hierarchical tags in the "Notebooks/*" namespace. Still all notes go into a single directory. I would like them to be physically separated in the file system because it would make it easier to for instance separate work-related notebooks from private ones. This is a minor complaint compared to the overall great tools Notable is!

The app itself is quite good but unfortunately the project quality is very low:

• no user doc
• no dev doc
• no code doc
• no unit test
• no CI/CD
• no plugin
• no tar.gz or way to easily package it for distro other than ones using deb and rpm
• the dev is stubborn and even banned me for asking documentation and not liking people to be frank: https://github.com/notable/notable/issues/663
• plan to close source the project: https://github.com/notable/notable/issues/432

I started using it as an alternative to CherryTree. If you like Markdown then this is notepad for you.
Project is actively developed, everything works fine and it is easy to sync notes using eg. Google Drive or like in my case personal NAS (Synology).

A brill little piece of software. Just what I was looking for!

It takes a while to get used to, and it can be a bit frustrating at times, especially if you don't know Markdown very well. Thankfully there is a little cheat sheet in the menus!

There are some things that are a bit annoying, like no mobile apps or syncing, but the developers are promising this, so hopefully it will get even better!
