simplenote-ios VS snapdrop

It's not perfect, but I use https://simplenote.com/

Someday I will build my own clone of Simplenote/Notational Velocity/Taskpaper/Drafts/Bkmks.com...

1. From mobile browser, share to Simplenote adds a new note with title + url.

2. Not often.

3. Not often.

4. Also Simplenote. Also used Notational Velocity: one note per JIRA ticket.

5. I wish Simplenote's tagging system were better (more like TaskPaper)

- I wish it were simple to add (markdown) images like Github.

- Also Simplenote added some features that get in the way (I just want to type `[`, but Simple note opens this inter-note linking interface)

- Notational Velocity supported rich text, but I just wanted everything in plaintext, especially when pasting information into a note.

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/

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

- https://bear.app

- https://www.craft.do

In the past I used the beautiful Zoho Notes. It's good but I experienced sync issues sometimes. OneNote is good but I hate the UI. StandardNotes is nice, but very expensive once you want the paid features. SimpleNote OK too, but too basic imo.

I've used Simplenote for years. Clutter free, distraction free, and actually free - it works in a browser and my phone so I can write on any device, anywhere, online or when I'm intentionally disconnected.

I think Simplenote could be what you’re looking for.

Snapdrop.net is one of many examples of the uses for this API, using it with WebSocket API allows endpoints on the same local network to distribute files and send data between them. We can find the source code for the project here.

similar: I have been using https://snapdrop.net/ for a few years now.

Localsend for sharing files once in a while, snapdrop is an online alternative. Syncthing to sync folders between devices.

I can’t 100% vouch for it, but snapdrop.net seems like a good cross platform option here.

https://snapdrop.net/. Been using it for years for quick iOS > Windows transfers. Works great and unique names mean you know what device you’re sending to!

I use snapdrop.net. Doesn't necessarily need an app.
