Notational Velocity Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Syncthing: A continuous file synchronization program

  For iOS, I placed a syncthing folder inside my iCloud directory and it works fairly well. My MacBook, an always-on Pi, and a few other boxes run syncthing for a directory full of Markdown files that I use with Notational Velocity[0] on Mac and 1Writer[1] (highly recommended!) on iOS. Using it this way for a couple years and it works well, occasionally go through and diff the sync conflict files that slowly... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Show HN: Simple TODO with tag based filtering

  Just picking and choosing the best features from my favorite apps: - TaskPaper tags are nice, but isn't multi-platform. - I like search+creation UX of nvAlt (explained well on: https://notational.net/), but no decent non-mac clients. Also non-plaintext richtext gets in the way. - I use SimpleNote because it's multiplatform, but the tags are hard to use. Also somethings like inter-note tags are just a distraction... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• nvALT 2

  Https://notational.net/ Still works on MacOS 12.6. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Innovative Rich Text Editing: Typing Affinity

  Bike is beautiful! I'm tempted. But all my notes are in Notational Velocity (https://notational.net/) at the moment, because the largest source of friction for me is *finding note files*. In Notational Velocity I never have to open a file dialog; file dialogs on Mac OS are still shockingly slow, and even if they were fast it would take too long to find the file I want. My hands never leave the keyboard; I just... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What do you dislike in the note-taking apps you use and why?

  Has the very simple modeless operation of Notational Velocity: When you open the app, you just start typing, and it incrementally searches the full text of existing notes, and creates a new note if the search text is not found. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best Note taking app on your Mac

  NOTATIONAL VELOCITY is an application that stores and retrieves notes. It is an attempt to loosen the mental blockages to recording information and to scrape away the tartar of convention that handicaps its retrieval. The solution is by nature nonconformist.

• Do y’all have hundreds of massive note files?

  Half of mine are in Notational Velocity (mac), half are in markdown files organized in folders which I edit in neovim. I do reference mine later, helped by the fast search functions in those two tools. Ripgrep in vim. Source: over 1 year ago

• Something like Notational Velocity for windows

  Is there anything like Notational Velocity but for Windows? Especially keyboard-driven. Source: about 2 years ago

• Interactive notetaker with code support?

  Preferably has some kind of lightweight organizational setup (like Notational Velocity or Obsidian). Source: about 2 years ago

• Remembrance Agent (1996)

  Reminds of Notational Velocity [1] and Deft [2] [1] https://notational.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• I wish there was a clean, easy to use, offline, local storage, open source, or at least one time payment, second brain/ productivity app, like Notion.

  Clean UI and easy to use if you follow the recommended way to use it from the original developer. Source: over 2 years ago

• Different behaviors for widget-button-press and widget-button-click

  I am trying to make an extension to the wonderful Deft package that can preview/view files in a side window of the Deft buffer (similar to the functionality of the original Notational Velocity). Deft normally takes a set of text files and for each file, displays a widget in the Deft buffer that, when pressed/clicked, opens the corresponding file. For my extension, I would like the file to be opened in the side... Source: almost 3 years ago
