Started first launch on an app I am working and need 20 testers opted in for 14 days to get to play store. If you want to help out, you can join this Google Group and click on link to join as tester

UPDATE: current tester count

Once you join the group, you will be able to view the links to join as a tester and see the app in the play store

I wanted a notes app that followed a more similar approach to file managers with folders instead of “notebooks” but also look like google keep as I really like the look, and I started using obsidian and thought it was cool. The closest thing I found to what I liked was QuillPad, but the author decided to not go multiplatform, outside of android, so as I just started learning flutter, I decided it would be fun to do it myself. The project is open source on GitHub here.

I hope this isn’t too much self-promotion, but I don’t know where else I can go except reddit.

I want to release on fdroid and ios app store as well, then when I feel the app is good enough for desktop, get out an application for linux, macOS, and windows too

    • This app is made with flutter, meaning I can use single code base to build to most platforms, I am not very experienced with flutter yet, so I couldn’t find a way to only give it access to your files without full access without bugs, maybe I missed something or did something wrong.

    • There are very small amount of libraries for markdown support that are good, so for example code block themes are imported individually so to avoid including 50 types of code themes, I just chose 2 (light and dark mode) that I thought looked good.

    • Yeah search is actually a lot harder to do, especially the way I made it, which I kind of ended up shooting myself in the foot on that one, due to lack of foresight.

    • Hidden folders are filtered out because things like archive and trash are just hidden folders in main path.

    I appreciate the feedback, I am finally getting more than just a “Looks cool, man” and “That’s nice” reply.

      If you have access to a Roundcube instance, you can try my PrimitiveNotes plug-in, if you want. You can find it at https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Primitivenotes. Maybe this helps to understand, for what and how i use markdown notes. I have absolutely no knowledge about flutter or Android coding, so I can’t help that much.

      But I can test and send you a little bit feedback for your app, because I really like your concept so far.
