Quiver is a Mac app that helps programmers take notes. Its unique cell-based design makes it easy to mix text and code in one note.
I built Quiver to scratch my own itch. I have tried numerous code snippet managers over the years, but they all missed one crucial point: it's not just code that you want to store. Usually you want to mix code snippets with comments, images, and links. Nothing out there was able to do that. That's why I built Quiver.
Now Quiver 2.0 is out. This major update comes with cloud syncing, shared notebooks, Markdown preview, presentation mode, and more. With this new version Quiver is no longer just for a single user, but for team collaboration as well. You can use a shared notebook as a shared knowledge base in your company.
I've been looking for something like this I'll definitely check it out when I get home. One small feature request that I have though is if you could add some simple screen-shoting functionality. I believe it should be simple enough judging for example by this SO question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12823489/how-to-take-regi... and this example https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab... but I might be wrong. I realize that I could just use whatever screen-shoting app and then drag the image over but sometimes I take a lot of them and all the switching gets really annoying.
You can take a screenshot with the standard OS X shortcuts (Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, etc.) then paste into a text cell. Quiver lets you save images inside text cells, including web images (which will be saved locally so they work offline).
If you like a quick workflow, use Command-Control-Shift-3 to take a screenshot and save it to clipboard, then paste in Quiver.
