Third-party reviews & case dossiers
Acquisition breakdowns, engineer reviews & open-source metrics- Post excerpt:
- Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down so
- What engineers like:
- Block-based text editor designed for developers - like buffers in other editors. Global hotkey to show/hide. Code is auto-detected, syntax highlighted and auto-formatted. Blocks can run calculations e.g. unit or currency conversions. Runs on macOS, Linux & Windows.
- Trade-offs & limitations:
- Built with Electron. You can’t really tell, but how does it perform with lots of blocks…?
- Best suited for:
- Developers should consider Heynote for a scratchpad tool
