What is it about quip that you like better than google docs?

Simplicity, better API, Markdown import and export, and i still get change tracking, commenting, and live collaboration. The API makes it really easy for me to add integrations from shell scripts, which has become increasingly difficult with Google's API.

Fantastical 2 seems nice but sooooooo expensive...so I stay with BusyCal on Mac and Fatnastical 2 on iPad.
Also, I never got into brainstorming, my mind doesn't work that way I suppose but for simple thing MindMapple (https://geo.itunes.apple.co...

Regardless of the appearance as an obligatory pat on the back, nvALT is on my most used apps this year. I have switched from Evernote and still working through a learning curve (simplifying), but it's open almost daily.

The only reason I look at this blog every day is for news on nvAlt. I'm always disappointed.

Same. nvALT is indespensable. Although I am eyeing quiver (http://happenapps.com/#quiver) simply because of the organizational features it provides. Plain text is hard to beat though.

I'm loving Quiver. JSON (which Quiver stores in) is so easily parseable that I can live with it in terms of portability. I have scripts for porting my code snippets between nvALT and Quiver (as a result of dipping toes). My only quibbles are things like spotlight integration.

I guess so. JSON is still almost plaintext..but not quite. Any hints for nvALT++ or nvALT2? :D

And what about Simplenote?
