👋 Hi Product Hunt! It's been a while! After a good year and a half I've finally come back from freelancing to building something of my own. And boy, does it feel good! 💭 The story: Work on Notebag started on March 7, 2020 after a few long months of me being rather unhappy with any note taking app that's out there. Originally what I wanted something that you could describe as Apple Notes with markdown and a global show/hide shortcut. Eventually I realized that I very much enjoy the efficiency of managing my notes with just my keyboard and here we are! ✨ Main features: ⌨️ Fully keyboard compatible! You can throw away your mouse! (But you don't have to). You can do everything with a keyboard shortcut. You've never moved around your note taking app this fast. ⚡️ Markdown with instant preview! There's no preview pane here. You type and Notebag immediately formats your note 🔍 Fuzzy search for notes! If you remember even a few words of the thing you wrote three weeks ago, Notebag will find it for you real quick. 👀 An omnibar you where you can quickly go to notes and run common commands. You might know this as "Go To Anything" from your code editor 🏷 Nestable categories! Simply write a #hashtag and Notebag will categorize your notes for you. They're never more than a quick search away. 🔗 Linkable notes! Collect all your knowledge and link it. The power of organized knowledge is right at your finger tips. Welcome to a new note-taking experience. P.S: Be sure to use coupon code LAUNCH20 for the first 24 hours to get 20% off!

Congrats on launching, Richard! Notebag looks great 🙌🏾

Looking great, congrats on the launch Richard!

Looks rad, I'm curious how it compares to nvALT. Fuzzy search looks nice although it doesn't seem to highlight matched strings. I'll give it a try this week 👍

Congrats for the launch Richard! As a regular note user, I'm pretty impressed by the omnibar to move from one note to another. The other nice thing is how you handle markdown, it's better than what Bear has done (no offense to Bear though, it's a great product as well). So I wish you have a massive success with Notebag. Godspeed!

Brilliant! Can't wait to try this out.

Keyboard compatible + private + locally stored + markdown => everything that makes software sexy. I was looking for a note-taking app, I tried Roam and TiddlyWiki, I contemplated Evernote, but I'm getting Notebag and in the end I think I'll stick to it!

I've been using Notebag since the beta and I love it! Especially the show/hide shortcut and Markdown support.

congrats! insta-buy for me 😊

Congrats on the launch, Richard! That's a super nice feature set 🙌

Congrats Richard! Gonna buy on cyber monday deal :D

Will it be possible to automatically create bi-directional links? This is crucial for me.

ya ever hear of notebag @_pretzelhands ?

Congrats on launch, this looks good! I'm still waiting on an app this nice-looking to have Vim keybindings. Until then, I gotta stick with vimwiki.

Looking awesome. Congrats!

Very cool! My blog uses Markdown so this could be a great way to easily write blog posts.

I'm a man of simple needs, I see a new note-taking app – I'm downloading it.

Niicee! Looks very useful. I can't wait when I try it 🖤 Congratulations!

Looks great. One question...can you import notes from Evernote?

Congrats on launching Richard!
