AudioNote vs SpringNotes

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.

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.

BIGGIE: Less complicated playback speed controls." "jginfl , 04/06/2018, Appstore"

Really do like this foldable text outliner with drag-and-drop paragraphs (within the document). Great for structuring long manuscripts, esp. in split screen with research notes or other material on the other side. Feature Wish-list: 1. Inline insertion (markdown) of photos/images, with easy resizing (handles to pull) and alignment (left, center, right). 2. Better/more font choices. Rendering is good but readability could be better, I believe, with better choices. 3. Ability to easily split and merge note docs to create new docs. 4. Extensive drag-and-drop capability across split screen. This is a relatively new app. One to watch.

Promising app, looking forward to updates Works well so far. I look forward to other functionalities like attachment of photos (especially batch photos), and also more themes. I would also like the line spacing to be more fine-tuned, like .5 spacing. Also, better looking icons for the folders would be nice. Overall, syncing is good and this looks promising. Good luck developers!

Excellent Works as described. Takes a little getting used to when managing parent child relationships. But carries loads of info. Please add the ability to add pictures and an undo button for iPhone.
