Should I be as impressed as I am that one guy has an app that works on 5 different operating systems even if he is using a cross platform framework or has cross platform front end development become that easy?

Whichever it is, great job! I don’t need something like this right now, but I am favoriting it just in case I do later.



I certainly am.

The only thing I disagree with is the lack of a web client.

It just seems like you could save a ton of work by starting with the web client, then create desktop versions via something like todesktop.com.

Then you're spending less time on updates - it's just one desktop version, and the iOS + Android versions are just consuming data from your API anyway.

Love the BYO CouchDB feature - very interesting!


A web client seems like it would incur hosting and other costs.


A high quality note taking app is all about sleek UI. "Just consuming data from an API" is going to be 5% of the development effort.


You're right there, not sure what I was thinking there.

Regardless, my original point is still valid. You could serve web/MacOS/Windows/Linux users with a single UI.
