Right now not much, just basic functionality.

But I have this vision in my mind of what a note platform is supposed to be and unfortunately I have not found it yet. My favorite note tool was emacs org-mode so a lot of the things that I working on now draw from that.

Mainly:

1. Full Markdown Support 2. Easy way to make TODOS (and track them across notes) 3. Easy way to take meeting nots from a calendar invite. 4. Native Clients that actually work and sync, you should be able to see, edit, and make notes anywhere you are. 5. Open Source :)

# 2 -- will be implemented soon. # 3 -- will be implemented soon and should work with ANY calendar provider.

Right now Braindump is just a basic framework that I hope to use to accomplish all of those goals.

What did you miss in org-mode that your tool is going to have? I can't think of anything, so I don't really know what benefits your tool provides compared to org-mode.

Great point, org-mode is perfect. But a lot of the world is missing out of org-mode because they dont know about emacs and don't want to learn. :)

I love org-mode, but I've just declared org-mode bankruptcy for my personal to-do lists and life projects. With my life being as busy as it is, I'm now rarely in front of a full computer with a keyboard when I'm at home, so keeping my home projects in emacs is not as appealing as it was 10 years ago.

I've tried running emacs on android -- too much friction for simple tasks that should be quick.

I've tried mobile-org; the workflow is painful.

I've tried orgzly. It's almost workable. Maybe when it gets folding, and I can simplify my syncing scenario.

For the time being, I've dumped stuff into Mirakel and ownCloud Notes...will see how it goes.

Could you take inspiration from Evernote?

Thanks for the comment! I have not used Evernote in a long time, but a few years ago it didn't do all of the things that I wanted. I should probably review it again.
