Some notes on Notae at this point:

  • The next release will likely be 1.2.
  • The Untitled tag issue has been fixed. Core Data’s use of temporary object IDs is infuriating.
  • Import from URL crashing on specific pages is a Cocoa bug and has been reported. I’m looking at alternative solutions at the moment, the most likely of which may turn into a new feature (WebKit/WebArchives).
  • Unsaved changes blocking logout is a Core Data bug and has been reported. I do not see a way to work around it other than not prompting for the save at all (very bad).
  • I’m almost done with read-only AppleScript support.
  • A later version will support creation/editing via AppleScript. As I’m mainly using Notae as a test-bed for another project in this regard, it may be slow-coming or surprisingly quick. No telling.

Notae is due for a near-complete re-factoring sometime soon, and that will be 2.0. I have a lot of ideas on what I’d change if I started over and that’s where they go. From the looks of it, though, that’s some time off. I’ll keep working on 1.x until then, though.

Feature requests go in the comments. My answer to anyone mentioning folders is an indisputable no. My answer to Smart Folders is, instead, saved searches and is planned for 2.0.
