Later this week I’ll post on how I name these notes to bring order from chaos but for now I’ll leave you with this thought: Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
#NVALT VERSUS SIMPLENOTE FULL#
So I see a lot of relevance to using Simplenote and Notational Velocity, giving me access to 700 snippets of pure gold and several more full of amusing drivel, like my favorite latin sayings. This includes pieces out of Scrivener projects, half-baked posts, pieces of legal briefs, and just about any other text I’m working on. Also, when talking to someone and you can immediately get access to these details, it scares the hell out of them.įinally, I use it for bits of text that need love and attention. It is always in sync, available on all my devices, and oh-so-malleable with text. Whether it is a work project or vacation plans, I love having a note dedicated to it with key information like contacts, reservation numbers, communication logs, and essential details. Notational Velocity is perfect for this with its quick search. Either way, it is stuff I will use again and want to access from anywhere.
#NVALT VERSUS SIMPLENOTE CODE#
Maybe it’s the html code for the Mac Power Users logo or maybe it is the perfect jury instruction for fraud. Simplenote is much easier and simpler to use in terms of writing, because its plain text only with moderate formatting support by using Markdown syntax. Which one is better depends on your actual need. So I use Notational Velocity in three contexts: Answer (1 of 7): These two applications have different focuses. All of these text snippets are in one place, easily searchable, and always available. For me, however, what continues to make Notational Velocity and Simplenote awesome is the search. So syncing got easier and Simplenote a bit less essential. While Simplenote is pretty awesome, it doesn’t have the feature list of other iOS based text editors like PlainText, with its gorgeous layout, or Nebulous Notes, nerdgasm inducing macros. I get e-mails from readers all the time explaining how they get by just fine without Simplenote. Now that Dropbox has become the ubiquitous language of syncing to iOS, many text editors sport the ability to easily sync text to Dropbox making it available anywhere from any platform. Back then, the Notational Velocity / SimpleNote Tango was the only game in town for syncing text to iOS devices. However, that reason is not as important now as it was. It was truly one of those “your chocolate in my peanut butter” moments for mobile writers. That was the big selling point and the reason a lot of us jumped on it a year or two ago when they hooked up with Simplenote. When I discovered it was under the care of. I got excited about my notes again but realized how badly I had been wanting another setup. Notational Velocity started out as the best way to sync text to iOS. Then, several months ago, I saw the news that Brett and Fletcher Penney of MultiMarkdown were working on nvAlt’s successor, nvUltra. The Case for Notational Velocity and Simplenote I still have a big place in my heart for both apps. I’m getting lots of e-mail questioning the necessity of Notational Velocity and Simplenote.
