AudioNote vs neutriNote

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.

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.

Perfect workhorse app. Migrated from Evernote, to Simplenote, now been using Neutrinote exclusively for over a year. Not very exciting on the surface, but again: my Android note-taking has been exclusively on Neutrinote for over a year now. I don't even *know* if there's better alternatives because I haven't felt the need to look. PLUSES: Fast; Maximalist (no endless submenus); Local note storage as .txt files (no server issues or DRM); No feature creep; Markdown (it's there if you need it).

Good: python support; md support; math notation support, small app footprint; friendly UX for productivity. I use it in conjunction with Obsidian and it is far better than the latter whose UI are not tailored for narrow screens. Bad: the main menu is extremely laggy once there's more a hundred of notes, I opened the directory with another md processing app (Jotterpad) and it was as smooth as butter. There needs to be an option to change the default directory or allow multiple directories.

OG note taker / android owner who always liked the simplicity and portability of plain text. Decided to give neutrinote a spin with first md created in windows in vs code. Used neutrinote to add a table and some heading and highlight modifications. Neutrinote is well-designed and intuitive.
