Comment on Show HN: Notes, a very simple app which supports Textile Markup.parent

Comments

second point first: markup _is_ common in notes apps (many).

personally, i'd predict zero uptake with textile; it's dead.

and there are so many other notes apps around that i think you will have trouble with uptake even if you add markdown.

if you're doing it for love, or experience, then go ahead; otherwise, you'd need some kind of new angle to break big.

I agree. There is no significant value in Notes application alone but what I am trying to generate value in the Hmpgr platform (pronounced as homepager). I have another app called Blog which I am still developing. I know adoption of these apps are difficult but I do not wish to make them even more difficult by using obscure thing like Textile.

But since you are patiently answering me, can I request you to please go through Hmpgr platform and tell me if you see any value in it.

yes, as a package, there could be some stickiness here.

in which case, i'd suggest you offer markdown as well, since you want to attract as many people as possible.
