Hi everyone! I'm Adam, founder of Smarkup. We’re very excited to share with you what we've been working on. We call it a "productivity-focused app for multi-tasking ninjas." It's for notes, to-do lists, meeting agendas... With no visual smog. Extremely simple. Productivity-focused. Team collaboration. Power feature: Tabs (it sounds strange, but it's a real deal!) We built it because we were missing a simple tool for notes and knowledge bases, where we could collaborate. Apple notes are good... but are not cross-platform, are not good for multi-tasking, and are not very much collaborative (especially with someone on Windows 😂). Notion is great! But it doesn't really fit our mindset... We needed just a great and super-fast app for notes. Not an app for everything. Confluence got better over the years. But everyone still hates it 😂 Smarkup means to help you quickly write down new ideas while letting you stay where you are. Without breaking your focus 🚀. By technical means, it's a kind of a hard-code stuff... Custom text editor with a custom CRDT collaboration engine, all from scratch. We have a Phoenix Elixir back-end system with a Postgres database. Pretty crazy. It would mean a world to us if you could give us any feedback! What do you like? What would you pay for? What would make you recommend it to a friend? Thank you! ❤️ Adam, Mirec, Cinan, Stefan, Bokos.

@adam_sabla Amazing work! The real-time collaboration feature is going to save so much of valuable time and get things done in a more efficient manner. Also, love the clean design! Kudos to the team.

Looks great! I love the blend of Markdown and Notion. Are notes stored locally? Can I export/import Markdown files easily? Are the additional features built on top of basic .md files - i.e. can I work on a folder of my .md files while on mobile and have them sync back to Smarkup?

@alexcue Hi Alex! Thanks for feedback! The notes are not stored locally. They are synced to server. So you can access them from other devices, or from web browser. Markdown export is not there yet, but its planned :) Now you can use the markdown snippets (### for h3 for example, etc.) What do you think about it? :)

@alexcue @adam_sabla so I can’t access my notes offline? The problem with all (most) the notetaking apps is that I don’t own my notes. They’re not on my computer. If your service goes down for whatever reason, I lose them. “The notes are not stored locally … So you can access them from other devices” → you can access them from other devices even if they are stored locally. That’s the premise of Google Drive, Dropbox etc.

Can other people in the team see and make changes in a document live or do I have to save or refresh something?

Looks amazing, just tried it, however having Linux app would be even better than launching in the web. Are there any plans to support Linux as well?

@peter_lipcak Thanks! We just talked about the Linux app. It wouldn't be much effort, so I suppose we will get to it in near future. If you'd like to get notification after we launch it, subscribe under this post on our roadmap :) https://roadmap.smarkup.com/c/18...

Great & simple app :) What to add? I haven't got the opportunity to test the team collaboration but it's definitely a go to product for my forgetful mind, much simpler and cleaner than Trello.

It's looking simple and great. How different it is compared to Notion? BTW, congrats on the launch and all the best.

@basharath Thanks!! Notion - it's a fair question. It's the most FAQ :) Notion is great! It's one of the closest competitors... But it aims to do everything (including task management, CRM). It's not great for multitasking - there's no tabbed layout in the desktop app, no Linux desktop app (lots of backend devs are on linux). In addition to that... There are so many apps for writing things down. So I totally understand that making "another one" sounds crazy 😀 But... Our is focused on extreme simplicity, ability to multitask and collaboration. That's what we were missing in other apps. Very easy to use = without any learning curve. Simple formatting options. And easy to understand file management. Smarkup is something like if Apple Notes and Confluence had a baby. Apple Notes is only for Apple. Not for teams. Not good for sharing. Confluence is... Confluence 😀 Not good for writing notes. Google Docs has SUPERB collaboration. But is for paper. Formatting is like in Word. Too many option. File management is SUPERB, but complex.... it's not quick (If I want to catch an idea, I'm not going to open Chrome and create a new Doc to write it down). I could go on and on... Here's a video (sorry for the lame voiceover, but I had to get it done yesterday in few hours 😅)

I guess I answered even stuff you didn't ask about haha

I've been looking for a productivity-focused tool like this for some time. Shortcuts are great and simple. I can't wait to try it out!
