Comment on Show HN: Notes Plus – A Markdown Apple Notes Clone with Latex, Excalidraw etc.parent

Comments

Thank tarwin! The app saves metadata like priorities, tags and rank/orders, pin status, favorite status (for files) and sorting (for folders) inside the app itself, technically in ONE simple .json in the app's macOS data folder (might have different locations on Intel and Apple silicon macs):

~/Library/Application Support/.... .notesplus/notes-metadata.json

It's a simple key-value JSON, simply a list of every file, and the according prio, tags, etc. (if set). The notes themselves are not touched and there are NOT any .files or so.

Regarding speed: To be honest i rebuild the app multiple times from scratch, every single time for performance reasons. ;)

Can I suggest an option to allow saving a .nodes-plus/ directory in any open directory? And save the metadata there? That way you have a portable collection?
