Hi everyone! We're Shiny Frog from Italy and we love to make beautiful, useful apps. We created Bear because we wanted a beautiful way to write, easily organize our notes, and publish or share in various ways. This has been a labor of love for nearly two years, and we're releasing the beta today because we'd love to hear what you think! To try Bear, please … See more

@matteorattotti Congrats Matteo and all the team for shipping Bear! I've been using the beta and I love your unique approach and design, and sync between devices is lightning fast and absolutely reliable. I wanted to leave Evernote for a while, and Bear is the multi-platform solution I was waiting for!

@matteorattotti Are you planning to work on Evernote Sync?
Matteo Rattotti@matteorattotti · Shiny Frog
@babygau no, but we have an Evernote importer :)

@matteorattotti Any chance it will be available soon for Android users? :)
Matteo Rattotti@matteorattotti · Shiny Frog
@galeriks at the moment we have no plan for Android, but if the app will go really well we might consider.

@matteorattotti Congrats. Super excited to give this a try! Any plans for integrations with blogging platforms? As it's all markdown, I can see a lot of potential for say, a Ghost integration.
Matteo Rattotti@matteorattotti · Shiny Frog
@matt_aunger we thought about it, and it could be a future evolution of Bear, but as now we'd like to keep things simple and focus on the core of the app :)

@matteorattotti Makes sense! Don't want too much feature creep in the early stages :)

@matteorattotti how about an Evernote exporter if I change my mind?
Matteo Rattotti@matteorattotti · Shiny Frog
@babygau Bear keep everything in plain text so you opt-out without problem, as for Evernote Bear can export all your note in html and Evernote will happily import them :)
@matteorattotti Congrats on Bear! Looks very nice. Would love to see a web and Windows version for those who want to use it at work with no Macs.

@matteorattotti Congrats guys, very cool and definitely worth a try. I'm really looking forward to it. Plus, perfect timing because I was looking for an alternative to Evernote!
Hans van Gent@jcvangent
@matteorattotti @babygau At a first glance it looks really beautiful, although I'm addicted to my Evernote ;-) There are alternatives to Evernote like Alternote, which give a more beautiful experience but still keep Evernote as the core for all its data. Would be really interesting to have that feature set in this as well, just so I can store everything in t… See more

@jcvangent @matteorattotti @babygau me too. when you have 5,000+ notes migrating would be a pain. I use Evernote as a storage option for my Icon/UI kits too. Preview Images of contents and then an embedded zip file within the note. Does Bear support zip files? Also pricing would be helpful.
@matteorattotti @galeriks +1 for Android! i just signed up for the beta. I use Evernote a lot and they just haven't evolved. Looks like you guys are doing some cool stuff.

@matteorattotti One more question. I'm wondering if you support Vim/Emacs keybinding while editing?
Damion Alexander@nostradamion
@matteorattotti Any idea when the beta will be available?
Matteo Rattotti@matteorattotti · Shiny Frog
@nostradamion we'll start sending the first batch in a few hours :)

@matteorattotti Congrats on being featured on PH! It's interesting to know which mobile analytics tool do you use or planning to use to track your app usage? I'd suggest trying http://inapptics.com/ to see how people actually use your app. Have a look, I bet you'll like it ;)

@matteorattotti How can we ensure that Bear won't decay like some of your others app (e.g. Pixa)? I'm super jazzed about Bear but I want to make sure you guys plan on supporting it for the long haul.
