Notable – The markdown-based note taking app 'that doesn't suck'

The thing about taking notes apps is everyone likes ‘em a bit different. Here’s what the author of Notable was after: Notes are written and rendered in GitHub-flavored Markdown, no WYSIWYG, no proprietary formats, I can run a search & replace across all notes, notes support attachments, the app isn’t bloated, the app has a pretty interface, tags are indefinitely nestable and can import Evernote notes (because that’s what I was using before). If that resonates with you, click through. 😄

Turndown for what?

For turning HTML in to Markdown. That’s what. Lots of tools convert Markdown to HTML, but going in the other direction isn’t always so easy. Turndown makes it easy, and even provides a web interface so you can paste in your mark⬆️ and copy out some mark⬇️.
