Any update on a release? Anxiously awaiting it's arrival, so please don't pull a guns n roses on us with this. I love your work btw.
I appreciate the Chinese Democracy reference :). But seriously, things are going well and we should have an ETA nailed down this month.
Looking forward to it! (Looking even more forward to the release itself of course).
I cannot tell you have happy I am about this project! I've been using Bear since I absolutely needed image support, but while the interface is good for what it is… it doesn't have the wonderful omnibar for the NV family of apps. I miss it so much! Everything just felt so fast and smooth with it!
All references aside, I feel like I've heard that one before. Don't do me like Dre did either! Now better part of way thru month so what's the word?
nvUltra sounds fine. Please make it also available for older macOS Versions! For me would be 10.11 great. Thx!
one more for nvUltra as name. I can't imagine working without nvALT. The most useful features are instant saving so that it is immediately available on all devices; being able to read notes on the iPhone (for example on the run in an airport) with Simplenote; tagging notes; never having to touch a mouse; plus the very simple straight-forward interface. Would much prefer to pay for updates and happy to do so than subscription. Echo the comment about pre-pay.
Is there any way to pre-pay for this? I've gotten a ton of value out of nvAlt over the years and I'd love you return some of that value.
guys. i am hoping for a little help. i have been relying on notational velocity as my business note taking app on my mac pro desktop and my mac air laptop. additionally i have been using it to sync to my iphone. because i jump around quite a bit i am afraid i am finding ALL my devices are out of sync. and i am not sure what is going on. the laptop would normally be the most "up to date" in the sense that i do the most editing on it but can anyone please explain to me what is going on? the fact that SIMPLENOTE broke the sync means that all my devices (iphone, laptop and desktop) have been unsynced since the sync was broken?! meaning i now have notes on one device that may not be on another (for all three devices) and also notes that have been EDITED on one that was not updated on another? and how to get out of this mess? there appears to be a database in my "notational velocity" FOLDER on both the mac pro and the mac air where the notes for that individual device are now stored? totally independent of any other device at this point? i ask because i am thinking to print out all the notes from the MAC PRO, and then edit the data on the MAC AIR so that i now have one proofed set of notes. anything i need to do with the SYNC SETTINGS ? right now i have both computers set to READ NOTES FROM FOLDER "Notational Data" AND i have it set to "SYNCHRONIZE WITH SIMPLENOTE" via my email login and password for Simplenote. THANK YOU for reading and thanks to anyone willing to dumb this down a bit as i am obviously not a programmer. is there a way to TRACK CHANGES and let nVALT or nvUltra reconcile them automatically?! THANKS
I feel like I'm a little late to the dance but wanted to say I'm sooooo excited about "son of NVAlt". NVAlt and MultiMarkdown Composer have been at the core of my workflow since 2012. Looking forward to the next evolution of NVAlt. The two of you really are a dream team for this kind of forward-looking tool. Great stuff!
Requests (please!) - A wysiwyg option, similar to IA Writer - Tags, with hierarchy (as in Bear notes). This is more important to me (and way more useful) than multiple folders - Some quick and easy method of adding images to notes.
PS, one formatting option missing from Markdown (imho), especially relating to note taking , is highlighting.
Naming
I'd prefer Envy. It's clearly a homage to a related but separate development. nvUltra carries the implication of being the newest version of nvALT. Because it breaks simplenote support, this might set the wrong impression for people familiar with previous work., For newcomers it's a meaningless term.
Wiki-style links and note creation
The note-creation mechanisms + wiki-style links of nvALT made me extremely eager to to throw money at any nv-related product created by you. Issues with starting the program on recent versions of macos forced me to start using The Archive. The only real gripe I have with it is that it doesn't provide suggestions like nvALT does when creating a new link.
Excellent news for plain text lovers. I'm using both, nvALT and MultiMarkdown Composer almost every day and Envy or nvUltra ("DeepNote" would also sound nice to my ears) will surely be an instant buy. I thank you in advance for not putting plain text in some database. As modern als Bear or Ulysses may look, their tendency to hide my text files away from other apps is disturbing and the contrary of the idea of plain text.
In case you are lacking more feature requests (or at least feedback on preferred usage cases): A robust #hashtag support would be nice - automatic detection and automatic file list filtering. Be sure to take The Archive for a test ride (another nice Notational Velocity reimagination). iA Writer also has basic hashtag recognition and navigation.
This is great to hear, BUT lack of Android port or Simplenote integration makes it an absolute dealbreaker for many who work on across MacOS/iOS/Android devices. What's your strategy here?
PLEASE add tabs to see many notes at once and add "back/forward" to jump between previous and next notes in your history. When you search something and want to go back instantly - now you can't.
Those are dealbreakers for nvAlt/Notational Velocity.
Can I just ask - I'm a total nvALT addict - that if nvULTRA is abandoning Simplenote sync and going for iCloud and separate folders, how your end product will differ from Oleksandr Glushchenko's FS Notes, which clains to be 'nvALT on steroids'!
Thanks for mentioning FSNotes. Looks really promising and might be just the thing for my wife because of it's built in task category. She gave up on NValt due to repeated crashes.
Brett, I'm really looking forward to the beta and my name is near the top of the list, but I'm going to dive into FSNotes. Looks like a polished project.
well that is seriously good news!
this is obviously not the place for feature requests ... you know what's coming right? but please please please give us the ability to shift select different notes and see them all joined as if it was one note in the same window... like scrivener. that's the only reason i use scrivener...!
Does it write single markdown files in a folder?
Yes, just like using nvALT with plain text files instead of database mode. One file per note, nothing in there you didn't write. And you can add to the folder from anywhere and the app will pick up new files and index them. Plus, you can use any/multiple folders, and store assets in the same folder or subfolders without causing issues.
Any chance of Simplenote compatibility? (in my case, mostly for IPhone syncing, but also the History feature has saved me a few times.)
We are not planning on dealing with Simplenote. We're keeping it limited to plain text files in a folder, the most universal and portable way to deal with notes. Sync via any file-based syncing service will be entirely possible, but not via a database-style API like SImplenote.
Right on. Plain text simplicity paired with the open up and start typing swiftness is why I still use nvALT today.
iCloud integration would solve that very well for me using iPad, iPhone, and Mac. I did use SimpleNote integration but its not anything special that any file syncing wouldn't be... and versioning can be handled by a good backup solution on the user end for their Mac.
Opting in for the Simplenote integration, I'm using it with nvAlt to sync up with iOS device and preserve history.
+1 for Simperium or iCloud integration. Right now I use nvAlt on my workstation and laptop with the native Simplenote app on iOS all tied together with Simperium. Really works well. I've not had such good luck with text file based sync. Fully glad to pay what it takes. This chain of tools is central to my workflow.
Thanks and good luck!
I am voting for Simplenote integration too. Will probably stick to nvALT otherwise. But nvALT has started crashing a little too often now.
Needs ios/andriod options. nvalt is SO good, but I need to be able to access/edit stuff on my phone, and other apps don't match up.
