Quiver vs. boostnote code#
Boostnote-open source, which I liked, but at the time of this writing it didn’t support attachments although, it has tags, a mobile app, and markdown support.I wanted something integrated that I could just dash out quick notes with links and/or attachments in it. Hardly a quick and easy way to make notes on the fly! I did look into automating this whole process somewhat but then started looking into programmer notebooks. In order to make a new post, I have to create a new branch in Git, fire up a text editor, write the post, commit it in Git, and then merge it back in to my deployment branch. It hit all the things I was looking for, except the last point of it being quick and easy to add entries. I first thought about creating an internal blog-sort of like this one but just for myself. Then, I started looking in earnest at other solutions. Still, not very programmer-friendly and it doesn’t support tags. I also thought of using Apple’s Notes app, but same above issue (although, it does let you attach files now). The closest thing I could find in the way of adding code blocks is to go to another site that will format it (like ), then copy/paste it to Evernote.
Quiver vs. boostnote full#
The lack of markdown support is incredible and their forums are full of people complaining about these features being missing. It turns out there is no gist support (which kind of makes sense, although I feel like they could integrate it if they really wanted to) and no out-of-the-box way to add code blocks (as well as no markdown support). It syncs attachments and has tags, so I starting researching adding code blocks or gists.
Had to support inline code blocks (ideally gists).Had to be accessible on mobile or web (the former through a dedicated app or at least be mobile-friendly).I then came to the conclusion that what I really wanted was to sort of have an internal blog or notebook! But I wanted it to be only visible to myself.Īt first, I tried to see if I could make this work in Chrome-I looked at a few extensions that would let you make notes on your bookmarks, but they didn’t work.
Like when you find a solution for something but it only works on one OS version and does something entirely different in another! As I thought about it more, I realized I wanted to be able to write short tutorials on topics or code. Ridiculous amounts of bookmarks in Chrome.īut one thing I started noticing is that I wanted to make notes on some of these bookmarks. This sort of works ok, as for anything UITableView-related I go to the folder for it and look through all the bookmarks there. I also have folders for specific iOS topics, like network operations, device rotation, keychain access, etc. For example, for my iOS bookmarks, I have a whole folder for UIKit and then subfolders for each interface object ( UITableView, UIStackView, etc.).
Quiver vs. boostnote software#
For the most part, how I’ve been using them is ok-I usually have them organized by a particular topic or a particular software library. For a number of years, I’ve been accumulating tons of bookmarks in Google Chrome.
