There are various models released in Japan: https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/tamagotchi/


Evangelion-themed tamagotchi is the weirdest thing but perhaps also a good marketing product - tho, not sure how the series holds in Japan nowadays


I'm a Japanese and I haven't seen kids playing Tamagotchi for years.


Hi Aleksandar, Great to know that you are continuing to use my app! high five


Hey Takuya, the above says that you can only export as HTML, does that mean that you can't export all your notes as Markdown?

It also says relative links between notes are not supported — is that still the case?

Thanks for your hard work!

You are right. I basically build my apps for myself who always use the same computers. I understand there are various people with various needs - but I would like to focus on pleasing people who are similar to me. I believe this is important to provide a good service. I don't feel like making apps like Microsoft Office with tons of features to please everyone.


The platform you develop on isn't a feature. It's a platform - and without a doubt, a web app is the most ubiquitous kind of app that can serve anyone on practically any internet-connected device.

Internet-connected is the key term here, though. If your target audience are internet-less note takers, then a desktop app is the correct choice.


Thanks! I'll take a look.


Nope, because I don't like file-based sync. It's slow, unstable and hard to implement. People will say "how about Google Drive/OneDrive/Box support?" Hell awaits you.


> Hell awaits you.

From a developer point of view, maybe. From a user point of view it’s a quite reliable and well known mechanism to sync between platforms. Dropbox is already what I personally use to manage my documents between all my devices, it’s part of my various workflows. I personally don’t want to add other syncing mechanisms if I can avoid as that forces me to create/manage an additional account and give my trust to an additional platform.

Of course I may be an outlier but I don’t think that’s the case, Dropbox is well established. Inkdrop looks really, really nice and I might be a user of such a tool, but only for the editing and categorizing part but if I cannot disable the syncing using your backend that’s a blocker for me.

Anyway, congrats for the work that you’ve done, I hope you will change your mind at some point :)


The author here. That's a personal preference. I don't like WYSIWYG but do prefer plain Markdown.


Sure, I get that, totally. When you are in the Markdown view. But when you need to view the rendered rich text form, isn't it much more efficient and far more user-friendly to show just that, and allow it to be edited?

In other words, Inkdrop's two views could be Markdown and WYSIWYG (both editable), rather than Markdown and Side-by-side.


Actually there is a demo version which allows you to make 5 notes without time limit and sync feature.

The author here. Thanks! Yeah this app is basically for professional use. I'm providing it to only those who got more productivity with it and who would think that is worth more than the price. I don't know why emails got marked as spam.


Nope, at least for now. Because I won't use a web client. Features that I don't use always be buggy. This is what I've learned through my solo dev.


The author here. I think so. I don't like ads, too. People started visiting my webpage after I started talking about my stories, instead of pitching my product.
