This looks pretty cool! I don't see any mention of org-mode, which seems like an inspiration. How would you compare the two?


Hey, thats the second time I read "org-mode"! I have never seen org-mode before, but it looks like Markdown on steroids. NotePlan's syntax is not so extensive like org-mode, kept rather simple, but I will extend it over time, depending on usability. Thanks for mentioning it!


One feature of org-mode that might be worth considering is that it is cross platform. Because NotePlan is tied to OSX, I can't try it out, let alone use it.

Org-mode has been around for more than a decade and is open source and on a platform Emacs that has a high hacker to non-hacker ratio.

Not that I'm recommending building up an application in C. But Electron might be an option for an org-mode like cross platform application.

Good luck.


NotePlan is written in Qt, so cross-platform can be managed. I'm going to get an iOS version out of the door, then I'll rethink Windows and Linux and Android. Thanks!
