Quiver - take better notes for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  Game changer for me, I use it daily

  Quiver desktop has changed how I take notes and I love it. It’s easy to use and has great features. The help section is also good which is a must for me. The different cell types are great, I really like being able to take notes in Markdown because it makes transferring notes to GitHub or exporting as a clean PDF that much easier. I love how many languages there are to choose from. I really like the keyboard shortcuts because they help my workflow and they feel logical. Being able to store my notes in Google Drive and sync across devices is awesome and makes me feel better that my notes are stored in the cloud (which I trust more than my aging laptop). I would definitely recommend this app. I’ve used this app in student, recreational, and professional contexts and it’s great for them all. I currently work in IT support and I use this app every day to keep track of notes and things I need for my work. Highly recommend this app.

  Really Great

  I’ve been using Quiver (for PC) daily for years. It’s just the perfect markdown-friendly notetaking environment. It’s simple, functional, and not stuffed with unneeded features. I keep journal entries in it, but also lists, logs, recipes--anything and everything. I drag images and other attachments into my notes (tip: use a text cell to hold dragged attachments) and they’re stored with the notes. I keep the Quiver data in Dropbox so I can use any of my macs to work with the same Quiver data, and the data is saved in text JSON files so if I ever need to move to something else (which I dearly hope I will not) I won't be trapped. You can make feature requests or report bugs via Quiver’s Github site and it’s not a black hole; the developer will get back to you. Software releases occur occasionally but it’s quite a mature product and is very stable, so, in my opinion, not much more is needed. Highly recommended!

  I just want to make one feature request

  I love the app, but I'm starting to feel disorganized with the notebooks. It's cool if creating just a few notebooks at first, but not when you start having lots of them. I find myself using this app less because of it. My only request is, maybe you add an option to allow us to group notebooks. Just add a folder/group icon next to group and file/page icon to the file. This way I can group related topics to a seperate dedicated group and have those file only organized there. Lets say I have a website I'm working on, I want to have different notebook that are just for that site, but I don't want to have mixed up with all my other notebooks. If I have 200 notebooks it becomes a mess together with my other notebook. The only way to organize is renaming them in a way like : 1. MyWebsite Documentation - API 2. MyWebsite Documentation - Page Examples 3. MyWebsite Documentation - Snippets 4. MyWebsite Documentation - Configuration 5. MyWebsite Documentation - Notes when we could just have it all added to group folder named 'MyWebsite' it gets frustrated when dealing with even more files mixed with other files. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this.

  Bugs

  Bug 1: when I was trying to paste inside bullet points, sometimes it's not able to go back to the parent bullet anymore (even if I then deleted what I was trying to paste) and it compulsively indented and I was not be able to make any change of it even if I stopped using bullet point. Bug 2: when I was typing "\begin{box}something inside\end{box}" in a LaTex Cell, it showed a box (which is definitely what I wanted) but also contaning the whole thing I just quoted, which means inlcuding the "\begin{box}" and "\end{box}" and there's no way I could have a "clean" box... But I suppose this is because Quiver is using MathJax and MathJax does not support something like this.
