AudioNote vs Bangle.io

I was also looking for a way to better visualize text as a set of notes while still using markdown and .txt, then I came up with the idea "Sticky notes + Markdown + Tabs, All in one .txt file"[1]. It's nothing fancy, just a prototype using electron and vanilla javascript. news.ycombinator.com | 1 Mar 2022 "Needs a few things to be perfect I love this app but I can’t zoom in and the highlighter only works when you type not when using the apple pen. Those are the only problems I have with this app. Please fix that." "NBillu , 02/16/2019, Appstore " "Near Perfect I can almost give AudioNote 2 a 5-star rating, and for the life of me, I do not understand how anyone could rate it 1 or 2 stars. I think that reveals more about user incompetence than it does about this excellent app. All in all, it’s nearly perfect. In fact, I hesitate to list what I think are its shortcomings, because it performs so well. But there are 3 aspects where I see room for improvement. 1. Better iPad integration with Apples Files app. I keep my current AudioNote work on my MacBook desktop, and I’d like to be able to open it on iPad and immediately edit. Instead, I have to download the whole audio file first. 2. Like nearly everyone else, AudioNote now requires a subscription to use advanced features. But I think the fee is unreasonably high. (And it would have been a good move to offer us early adopters of the original product a discount or some similar incentive. Nonetheless, the fee is too high.) 3. BIGGIE: Less complicated playback speed controls." "jginfl , 04/06/2018, Appstore"

Looks cool, but it’s more like a markdown editor in the browser than a Notion alternative

- CupCakeArmy

A Markdown WYSIWYG text editor in the browser that works with local files. https://bangle.io @bangle_io look very promising.

Can confirm that @bangle_io is that fast and simple to use. Just load the site in a chrome browser and open the local directory. It loads fricking fast, opens backlinks quickly, and shows previews of linked pages instantly (with the possibility to edit them). Lacks adv. features.
