Hi Ken - Sorry, but I haven’t been using Simplenote myself, although it’s on my list of things to try (that list being in workflowy at present). I’ve just been using CN on its own.

I’m using both Resophnotes and Cintanotes (syncing with two different Simplenote accounts). Resophnotes can keep all your notes in separate txt files, which is quite a unique feature. Files can be accessed and edited by external txt or markdown editors (as Sublime text, WriteMonkey, Focus Writer). I use RN for keeping lists, syncing longer txt files, and some personal (but not sensitive) data. I like its classical two-pane structure. + I can access the data on my android phone.
Cintanotes does not have it, and I use it as addition to Scrivener while writing my book. I put all the random information, bibliography information, fragments and ideas, that I don’t know yet where to put. I know that I can do it in Scrivener, but it is slow, clumsy and really bad at handling bibliography. It’s easier to keep the bibliography list in fast CT file.

As I’ve remarked recently on another thread, I use CintaNotes heavily for bibliographical references. With its excellent tagging system, I can easily construct a query that says, in effect, “I want to see all the books and articles on a certain subject that I have not yet examined, and they must be limited to items in one particular library.”

I tried CintaNotes a year or two ago for another use, and found it to be a reasonably well designed program. It did not, however, meet my specific needs for that project, so I passed on it. It is probably overkill for my currents needs, so I am probably going to reinstall RN or try SN.

For a portable minimalist approach it’s hard to find anything better than ResophNotes. I just wish it had rich text formatting (inline pictures, tables, text styles, etc.) and would store deleted notes in a searchable recycle bin. Maybe ability to open notes in their own individual windows for multitasking would be a good addition.
Some of the features that make ResophNotes a great tool:
- Fast-as-you-type search with keyword highlighting
- pinning notes
- emailing notes
- always on top
- printing
- global hotkeys
- tags
- storing notes as database or simple text files
- list notes
I am just not a big fun of markdown but I know some people swear by it.
