![]() While the Quiver Notebook Library is saved in Google Drive (mostly for backups and safe keeping), I am using the very powerful rsync command to sync the library between my mac and the web server. ![]() The files themselves are hosted on my webserver and are displayed via a beautiful jQuery, PHP file explorer from Tutorialzine. In order to take my notes on the go, I took advantage of their export script that converts entire notebooks of notes into HTML folders. The app even supports importing Evernote Notebooks! The only downside for me is that there is no sync engine, or way to view my notes on the go (either on a mobile device or in the cloud). ![]() Cells are different areas of your note that can be formated as text, code (with syntax highlighting for a bunch of languages), Markdown, LaTeX, or Diagram all of which are rendered beautifully by the App. ![]() Quiver fixes all of their with their innovative approach, which they call cells. And while apps like Alternote make it a little easier, they still don’t make it easy. If you have ever tried formatting a note in Evernote, you know the nightmare that it is. The Apple App Store features Quiver as one of their “Apps for Developers” and since starting college, I have used Evernote primarily to take notes in class (many of which are Computer Science Courses). I rarely find myself editing, or creating notes on my device, but I would like to be able to access notes on the go, just in case (usually for reference purposes). The advantage to products like OneNote, Evernote, and Simplenote is that they offer Mobile apps and Syncing across devices. Thankfully, Quiver can import notes in the Evernote. I like to avoid Microsoft wherever possible, and Simplenotes offerings were average at best, and the reviews did not help sell me on their product. Popular alternatives to Evernote at the time of writing include: Simplenote, and Microsoft’s OneNote. Removing popular features, like emailing in notes (1), and imposing extra restrictions, like limiting you to only 2 devices (2), made me reconsider if Evernote was really the best option out there. However, recently Evernote has been promoting their paid plans in a way the hurts their free users. Evernote was the note taking application was the most popular option for a number of years and was the least bad of the options out there.
