NotePlan 3 - Native (Mac & iOS) note-taking based on local Markdown files

@cdf1982 Thanks! Images can be already embedded. Files not yet, but it’s on my list. Some users prefer to store files in their Dropbox and only drop the link into NotePlan, but I also see your use case requested!

@metzgereduard I am so used to inline images not being supported, that I didn't even think to try 😬! But it's awesome they are there, and that you're thinking of adding other file types in the future. I started my trial a couple of hours ago, and first of all let me say that the free month is really smart: the app is not inexpensive, but with a month to try it, then that subscription price becomes absolutely reasonable... I am absolutely willing to pay 0,16 € / day for my notes if I finally find the right app (it's been a long journey ;). So far, I am utterly impressed by the Mac app: I tried a couple of curve balls (Are notes linkable from outside the app? Yes. What if I add a Markdown file in Finder? It appears in the sidebar half a second later). The use model, with a note for each day in addition to folders and tags, is different from how I work, but it could actually be the way I finally start journaling, having it there already. The command bar is awesome. The global shortcut very much needed. Nested tags are great (I don't always agree with "all lowercase tags", but it's absolutely something I can live with). A question: by default the app uses CloudKit, which I know to be reliable and fast. I thought that switching to iCloud Drive was there to make adding files from outside the app, or accessing existing notes, easier, but then I see that's also possible with CloudKit. So, I wonder what's the use case for iCloud Drive. Finally, a couple of notes for things you might want to look into: - If I start creating a calendar event and then press Cancel, I always get an "Updating event failed" alert, but if I click outside the calendar event creation popup, then it dismisses just fine. - If possible, it would be great if inline images weren't be completely renamed when pasted inside the app and saved in the date_attachments subfolder. - The way markdown links are autogenerated for inline images - ! [ image ]( 68F99406-EA55-4AD5-9844-8F88F2A6E442.png ) - works well in NotePlan, because it know to look for images in the date_attachments subfolder, but breaks when previewing markdown files in other apps. Sorry if this is too much feedback, but NotePlan mostly looks for what I've always wanted (and something more, see daily notes) and if you ever add files support (even without inline previews, just the same behaviour of automatically copying them inside the attachments subfolder, possibly with most of the name intact, even after a UUID at the beginning), then you have a customer, fan and friend for life ;)

@metzgereduard OK, a couple of questions on iOS / iPadOS and then I'l stop... 😃 1. Is Shortcuts support for adding notes / appending to notes something you're thinking about? 2. On iPadOS, I'm using Notes.app ability to have multiple windows more than I'd have imagined. While I could live without it, I was wondering if SceneDelegate is in your future...

@cdf1982 Thanks! You mention a few good points :) > iCloud Drive This was the previous sync system from NotePlan 2. I just kept it around, in case some users don't want to switch. The access to the iCloud Drive folder is easier and some people use it to access data from Windows. Other than that, it has some issues with reliability. Sometimes files are not synced, and you need to open the Finder or Files app to kick it off. That's all solved with CloudKit. > Cancel bug Solved, will be shipped in the next update > Inline image renaming Yes, the problem I tried to avoid is having to check for duplicate names. But it makes sense to keep the original name around. > Image path Yes, you are right. The way it is right now makes it easier to move things around, because I don't have to rename the paths of all images when the folder somehow changes. But it's not ideal.

@cdf1982 > Shortcuts X-Callback-Urls could be used for that with Shortcuts: https://noteplan.co/faq/General/... > iPadOS - multiple windows Thanks for mentioning this, it wasn't on my radar, but makes sense. I have noted it!

@humbleuidesigns I though of the same question and just checked NotePlan's website. There is a small FAQ section at the bottom of the website which anwers the question regarding Setapp:"Eventually yes, but not at launch time. NotePlan 3 will launch on the AppStore first, then I'll add it to Setapp." 🥳

@humbleuidesigns I'm still evaluating this. Unfortunately, I don't find it very transparent how the revenue is calculated on Setapp and it's hard to judge if it will be any help or eat into the App Store subscriptions.

@humbleuidesigns @metzgereduard I have SetApp and would definitely use this, I would also glady pay for it with App Store, except the read only without a subscription doesn't allow me to see if I can use it for my notes. It does seem like it could replace notion, but cannot confirm

@humbleuidesigns @devingray__ You have a 1 month trial for the annual subscription, which you can cancel anytime before the trial expires. You won't get charged before that. You can cancel right after subscribing if you fear forgetting it. Apple is sending you a receipt with the link to manage your subscriptions.

@humbleuidesigns @devingray__ @metzgereduard Thanks, I will give that a try

@jgctweets Thanks! I appreciate your support :)

@fffuuuuucck Thanks so much!

@codeluggage Haha, awesome, thanks!

@didier_varlot1 Thanks for writing this up and for your support!

@prilutskiy Thanks :)

@_entropea NotePlan is 100% native, so it's a challenge to port it. But I'm planning to build a web version which you can use with your Apple ID.

@jesperbylund1 Haha, thanks! The competition is not over, my roadmap is exploding with good ideas :D
