Springpad replacement?

I’m experimenting with Hacknote, which is remarkably powerful, but a tiny bit slow. But it’s been taken over by Dropbox, so should be a keeper - certainly worth keeping an eye on.

I believe that was in response to Box’s new note-taking app, but I haven’t tried that and can’t remember what it’s called.

Of course Automattic (creators of WordPress) have taken over SimpleNote, so it might be worth taking another look at that as an alternative?

Increasingly I use OneNote, Notebooks and occasionally Evernote as my main notebooks. The advantage of Evernote is the open API - quite a few rather good notetakers now use Evernote as their backend database (e.g. Awesome Note, Metanota and plenty of others). OneNote is improving steadily (on the sync side), and Notebooks simply uses Dropbox, which is rock-solid.
