• NvAlt: MultiMarkdown Notational Velocity fork with Markdown editing and preview

  Note nvUltra, the successor to this program, has been in development/private beta for several years[1,2]. I've been meaning to make my own web-based version of Notational Velocity that adds a few novel features of my own. (Plus inspiration from apps like TaskPaper and Drafts) There are a lot of Notational Velocity clones; currently my favorite is: https://simplenote.com/ [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Ask HN: Apple Notes has jumped the shark, what should I replace it with?

  I'm still happy with Apple Notes for its integration with all of Apple Apps, easy sharing with family members, etc. I have tamed it more as an ephemeral and quick Notes App. The notes that starts there are usually transferred to a more permanent and organized Plain-Text setup[1] (currently guardian-ed by Obsidian). If I had to replace Apple Notes, I'd look at either one of these; - https://simplenote.com -... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• Ask HN: How do you save and browse external interesting URLs?

  I used to think like that, stored everything in Pinboard, tagged properly. I also used to use nvalt (https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/) for that as it had good search and I didn't have to switch to other tabs to search Pinboard.

• I like having a collection. So far it's been a steam game collection, it was just so nice to have this list of games, achievements, hours played etc... But it's become unhealthy for me and I want to quit gaming, don't enjoy it much either. So I need another virtual collection. What could I collect?

  Could also just take notes as a form of collection! Obsidian seems cool (though I haven't used it yet either), and Notational Velocity is mac-only but pretty fun. Anything interesting or useful that you might want to remember can be a note, and then it's fun to look over all the stuff you put down... If you really want to get meta, remembering stuff is a kind of collecting too, so you might like spaced repetition... Source: about 2 years ago
