notesnook

🌟 Features & new stuff

1. ✨ Note version history — from this version, each session will be saved locally all the way back to the first edit. You will also be able to restore or preview a previous version in case you want to go back in time. You can find a note's version history in properties.
2. Better tables — the current tables are awful; you can't resize the columns, the UI is awkward and UX worse. Not anymore. Tables now include active row + cell highlighting, column resizing with scrolling. All your older tables will be automatically migrated.
3. More reliable edited time updates — previously date edited would update any time you made a change; be that assigning a color to a note or editing it. From this version, the edited date of note will update only when it makes sense i.e. when you make an edit.
4. Improved note properties — note properties now include date created & date edited of a note.
5. Overhauled search engine — the search experience is still not amazing (but it's coming) but at least now the results will be much more reliable thanks to the new search engine.
6. Mobile optimized search/replace — the Android/iOS versions now include a mobile optimized version of search/replace improve the UX around that.
7. Attachments count on notes
8. You can now assign/add tags to note from inside the editor on mobile

Notesnook Importer - One tool to import from almost any notes app

We have designed a special tool for importing data from other note taking apps like EverNote, Onenote, Standard Notes etc. What's so special about it? Well...

1. Almost 100% compatibility: we have ensured that we transfer as much of your data as possible. This means we transfer your tags, notebooks, sections, trash, archives, sub tags...basically everything.
2. Two step process: Drag & drop the backup file into the importer -> press import & viola! You get a nice .nnbackup file that you can quickly import into Notesnook.
3. Secure & private: Since everything happens inside your browser, we ensure 100% privacy of your data.

Try it here!

Fixes:

1. Session expiry handling: Before when session expired, the user would be logged out immediately without any indication. This has now been fixed. You'll get a nice dialog asking you to re-login ensuring that your data remains safe.
2. The subscription timer in settings now shows time in hours if remaining days < 1
3. Desktop experience should now be much, much better. Things like navigation issues, empty notes, editor not loading shouldn't happen now.
4. Selection mode should now automatically turn off when navigating away from a page.
5. Context menu was not closing when outside of it. This is now fixed.
