FSNotes looks similar to NValt, Notational Velocity, and The Archive, and is programmed in Swift. It also appears to have a Github project (https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes), though I’m not sure what the license is. It is free on the Mac App Store at the moment. It is a bit different in that it supports RTF in addition to plain text.

Other than the dubious RTF support, it doesn’t bring much new to the overburdened Mac table, whereas if it had been developed for the hungrier Windows market…
Many of these new releases seem the result of developers flexing their technical muscles while letting their business sense atrophy. Nothing wrong with that, if their goal is to burnish their resumes.

Interesting little application—thanks for pointing it out @marlowe. BTW, they say the license is “open source (MIT license)”
I like the feature to watch numerous folders—and support syntax highlighting.
@tightbeam, I think that’s a rather harsh, unwarranted assessment.

This is very nice application; the closest replacement for nvALT so far.
(and, those who release commercial apps as a replace to nvALT amuse me)
it misses a few features: but, in active development. I will be watching this.

You think? I don’t. And as I wrote, there’s nothing wrong with doing something just because you can do it, for the purpose of furthering your career instead of lining your pockets.
