The community's response to this project has been amazing, all supportive comments and suggestions have blown me away, I'd like to thank you all for this and write a few lines about what Notable's future could look like.

I think the goal we should strive for is having the best possible note-taking experience, on any platform and any device, while still remaining true to the reasons why I wrote Notable in the first place, basically your notes will never be locked into a walled garden and the app is never going to become something I won't personally like and use.

In order to achieve that we have to develop internationalized (#126) web app (#83), mobile apps (#23), have a rich plugin ecosystem (#128) and tackle all the issues and good feature suggestions you guys raised. As you can imagine all that requires considerable developer time.

I already spent more than a month working on this full-time, and I obviously need to make a living too. The only way we can afford one or multiple people working full-time on this is if Notable becomes profitable, the alternative is simply greatly slowing down development.

I'm going to explore what acceptable ways are out there to fund the development, perhaps I could develop some powerful business-oriented and task-oriented features and sell support to companies. I'd be glad to hear your thoughts and suggestions on this.

Notable is here to stay.

It would be really helpful if pressing paste button when there is a image in the clipboard would:

1. Automatically attach this image to the note
2. Paste in Markdown text for displaying that attachment inline

As extra bonus, same behavior could be added for drag-dropping images into editor.

Basically, similar to how Github handles copy pasting images.

As stated previously I've committed to allocate a large portion of my time to improve Notable and trying to make it profitable.

Obviously I can't spend 1 year or more of my time on this with the risk that somebody could just make a competing commercial product out of Notable's source, so there are a few updates I'd like to announce:

• First of all I moved the repo under the "Notable" GitHub organization, this is where other Notable-related repos will be published (official plugins etc.) also. Thank you @akoenig for this! (He was the previous owner of the organization)

• The code under the main repo (this one) has been relicensed under the AGPL license, it's a bit more restrictive than the previous MIT license, the tl;dr is that if you're modifying the app it's totally cool, but you must share the full code back under the same license.

• Other Notable-related repositories will be licensed under the more permissive MIT license instead.

• You'll be asked to accept a CLA (Contributor License Agreement) when submitting PRs, basically it's just some legalese stating that you own the code you're submitting and you're giving me the rights to use it, you can read (and accept) the full thing here. I'd ask the following previous contributors to accept it please: @tylerdiaz @umgupta @mnikn @mikaelmello @lianghongzhuo @sosukesuzuki @RomanKornev. Most of the contributions you guys submitted have been kind of rewritten already, but it'd be helpful if you still accepted the CLA.

Right now Notable is 100% open-source, but going forward things will be developed this way:

• Up until I'll be ready to make a PWA #83 out of Notable (subscription-based, but you won't be forced to use it) and add a plugin architecture #128 to it, development will continue in this repository, and all commits will be shared as usual, just under the AGPL license this time.

• Once I'll be ready to develop those major features I won't probably share back the core code, but instead I'll split most of the current functionalities into open-source plugins. The server-side code won't be open-sourced. This repository will remain the main issue tracker.

• Once the subscription-based service I plan to develop is up and running I'll consider open-sourcing the core application code too, but the server-side code and maybe some "premium" features will still remain closed-source.

Hopefully this is good news for pretty much everybody, as this basically means I'm committed to make Notable great. This may disappoint those of you who would like everything to be open-sourced under a permissive license, but in order for me to allocate a large portion of my time on this I need to make it less risky, I hope you guys will understand.

That's all for today, thanks for reading till the end!

• OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04
• Notable Version: v1.4.0

Current behavior

When in edit mode, if your current note has an unsaved changed title (1), when you click on another note (2), it might overwrite Note 1 with the contents of Note 2.

It happened yesterday and now today. After multiple tries I managed to reproduce by quickly adding a lot of text (pasting lorem ipsum multiple times) and clicking in the other note. It rarely happens though, making it very hard to reproduce.

Expected behavior

Not lose note's contents. I'm very sad to lose important work twice now.

This has actually happened three times:

1. Big essay with a project proposal, it got corrupted and untagged, I was able to recover it from Google Drive
2. 2 hours worth of notes from an important class. At this time I thought it was a problem with syncing and bad connection, decided to only use local files
3. ~1 hour worth of notes from another class.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to halt my use of Notable because I'm afraid of losing even more work.

• OS Version: MacOS 10.14.4 (18E226)
• Notable Version: 1.7.2

Current behavior

My clipboard has the string "test" stored. When I CMD+V or right click>paste, it inserts the string "testtesttest" in any document of notable.

Expected behavior

Inserting string "test"

Notes

It works fine in other applications (e.g. Firefox, Finder, ...). It does not matter if copied from within Notable or another application (text only). Sometimes restarting the app resolves the problem temporarily.

Would it be possible to add WikiLink support (i.e.[[Description|Link to Note]]) to Notable?
Here's a great essay on why it's a great feature, would love it if you could add this: https://medium.com/@timkingwriter/welcome-to-the-note-taking-apocalypse-64a74481a5ab

Support LaTeX math typesetting, perhaps through the KaTeX library.

Examples of Electron-based Markdown Editors using KaTeX

• Boostnote
• Markdown+Math (Visual Studio Code plugin)

• macOS 10.14.6
• 1.7.3

Current behavior

Notable Helper consumes too much CPU cycles and battery when it is in idle state. (8% ~ 10%)

Expected behavior

Chrome uses under 1% CPU when it is at idle (single tab, google.com). Notable should be similar to this.

• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Notable Version: 1.3.0

Current behavior

Just open a note and click on the "add" button. I don't know when exactly this happens, but I've already restarted the app.

Expected behavior

A new note will be added, but the edit screen will still be the previous one. With this, the new "Untitled" file syncs with the currently open file and it will have its contents and name.

This is a DUP of Issue #6 which is marked closed, but I have verified that it's still a problem. Any ideas?

In Notable using images with the format [](@attachment/avatar.jpg) which causes the third MD editor such as Typora cannot recognize the image. Is it possible to support image in relative path style as [](../attachments/avatar.jpg)?

I've noticed that in 1.8.4, triple quotes (```) automatically completed with a closing pair. This was extremely helpful if I needed to insert a lot of code snippets with copy-paste. 1.9.0-beta.10 do the same for double quotes (was not done in 1.8.4), but doesn't complements triple quotes any more. Brackets (){}[] are complemented in both versions.

• Is this an expected behaviour?
• Is this configurable somewhere?
• Is there any documantation what is complemented in the editor?
• can we get aut-complete for triple quotes back in 1.9.x?

Otherwise I love the multiple windows feature of 1.9.

• OS Version: MacOS 12.5.1 (21G83) - Intel
• Notable Version: 1.9.0-beta.10

Current behavior

If I have multiple windows opened, and select a menu action, the action does not apply to the active window of Notable, but it gets aplied to the one that I was actually using. So it is not enough to select a window, and then a menu item, but I need to do some interaction within that window that triggers some action first.

I have observed this behaviour with these menu actions:

• Notable/Data Directory/Change... (however, if I use the shourtcut key, that correctly refreshes the active window)
• Help/* (anything that opens internally in Notable)
• Help/Toggle Developer Tools
• Window/Opacity

Expected behavior

I would expect that menu actions would affect the selected Notable window.

Feature description

Quite a simple change, but I was bothered by its absence : the context menu that is used to assign a tag to a note should close when a tag is first assigned. If the note already has a tag, then it should not close automatically, as it would be assumed you may tag it multiple times.

Feature motivation

I feel like most users tag most of their notes once, and so this tiny, simple change could help with the flow of the app somewhat.

Feature description

So using the standardized (![AltText](path/to/file.png)) syntax, it is possible to load and preview images, as well as doing so within a line, as to make the image loaded surrounded by text. Except, this is not possible in conjunction with headers (#).

Feature motivation

As I thought of decorating my headers with an icon, I realised this was in fact not possible : you either get a header, or an image, but they cannot be on the same line. I think it would be neat if we were able to do this; perhaps through a custom emoji if this change were to require too many modifications?

Notable version: Version 1.9.0-beta.10 / Windows

Bug: Can not navigate via Table of Contents

Feature request

1. Can we add line No. in code section (e.g. python/C++ code) of markdown?
2. How about add ability to do code section fold, just like vscode?
