Whoa, that’s a long list of ideas… let me see…

  1. That’s the plan, excluding iOS as I do not have a Mac and thus I cannot develop for it
  2. Certainly
  3. Certainly!
  4. That’s not part of the MVP (minimum viable product) I have in mind, but an export function must certainly be added later
  5. Plug-ins are not part of my goal, but I will do my best to keep the source code modular enough to let people adapt it freely
  6. We agree on that, global search is necessary, but I did not think about a “search inside a note” option. That seems to make sense, I’ll see what I can do
  7. Tags are part of my idea, although not the MVP, but folders are not; I will see if I can also add folders without complicating code and UI too much, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea
  8. Not part of my goal, but maybe in a future iteration
  9. Yup, that’s what I had in mind too
  10. As a developer I like Markdown, but it is not on my priority list… perhaps in a future iteration. I was thinking to (maybe) use Markdown behind the curtains, so it might not be too difficult to let users toggle the WYSIWYG
  11. The first UI that I am planning to develop will be for the web browser, then a lazy-man Electron UI for the desktop as well as something for Android, I just wanted to do something simple. I don’t have the time and skills to do deep desktop integration, perhaps in the future, or maybe someone might contribute this feature if this project actually manages to become something interesting
  12. That’s not part of the Simple Notes app I was thinking about, but that would make sense for Simple Calendar, perhaps in the future I might consider linking notes and reminders, but that’s not something I am thinking about yet
  13. I did not think about that, that’s a good idea, I’ll see what I can do
  14. The first version will not let you upload media, but images are planned. I did not think about sound/video/documents, but I guess why not?

I think notes collaboration might be a anti feature

That’s the main reason why I decided to build this suite of apps in the first place. I want to be able to work collaboratively on things with my girlfriend, and we must be able to do it in real-time. I realize that this is a big chunk of the work required to build something like this, but it is also the main reason why I am not satisfied with the options currently available.
