Thanks for posting! It checks most of the boxes for me. I've been using Simplenote which is perfect and minimal for note taking. But when I start to blog I find the lack of live preview and spellcheck inconvenient.

Looking forward to the desktop apps and possibly offline support!

What's great about Simplenote, is that it's backed by a nice company that seems to be a good steward year in, year out. No unnecessary features, just continued stable maintenance.

The desktop apps are coming soon. You can track our roadmap on Github: https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook/blob/main/ROADMAP...

What platform are you using Simplenote on? On macOS at least, you can write in Markdown and preview it with Cmd+Shift+P. Spellcheck also seems to work for me, but maybe that's a macOS thing and not specifically a Simplenote thing.

Disclosure: I work at Automattic, but not on Simplenote.

I'm on windows and unfortunately I can't find the spellcheck option. I'd like to sometimes write on iPad, that's why I want an app with cross platform support.

If you're on a Mac, Simplenote works great in conjunction with Nvalt (a fork of Notational Velocity)
