Show HN: Noteless - A Markdown-based note-taking app for Android

I was just thinking that Markdown doesn't seem like a great fit for Android specifically because of the limited size of the keyboard.

There's third-party keyboards like [CodeBoard](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gazlaws.co...) that makes symbols etc. easier but I'm pretty wary of installing keyboards given the number of permissions they get.

Another idea could be to explore long-press formatting options or a formatting menu on selected text. Still awkward, but perhaps easier to do.

Maybe give Hacker's Keyboard [0] a shot. It's my go-to for a full keyboard experience on Android. I have all permissions denied, and haven't ran into a situation where I needed to turn any on for it to work. YMMV on that though.

I've had the same experience with Hacker's Keyboard. Although I now use it from F-Droid, I haven't noticed any easy to spot differences between the Play Store version and the F-Droid version.

Ah that's the one I was thinking of but couldn't find it. Thanks!

Open source is a good bit more trustworthy with keyboard permissions.
