Comment on Ask HN: What features are you looking for in a note-taking app?

Comments

The only feature I would pay for is a cloud sync service, at maybe a few bucks a month, I don't use proprietary stuff much.

My minimal feature set would be:

* Android and Linux support * Sync * Open Source * 100% reliability. No lost notes because you switched to a different app without saving. * Heirachal organization, bookmarks * Markdown or equivalent power

I'm currently using Drayer Journal, a custom app I built in Kivy when I got the bad idea to build a notes app in Kivy with a P2P sync engine, before remembering how much I hate small time "One author one user" software.

I think the P2P sync engine protocol part has a lot of potential, and it's very hard to find anything equivalent, but Kivy is not the best choice, it's a bit hard to work with, slow to open, and still pretty new.
