big fan of Bear! It was a big influence for Tolaria — that's why you like it!

thank you for the great feedback mate

Why did you build something different? What was the motivation compared to Bear?

I'm a heavy Bear user, recently migrating most stuff to Drafts. My problems with Bear is that it's getting slow and I don't have easy direct access to my text data. But it does have apps for all devices and drag&drop images are really useful for lab/electronics work…

For me the main issue with Bear is that it does not work with a directory of Markdown files, but locks them away in a database. If you worked directly on markdown files it would be nearly perfect. They did make a standalone markdown editor called Panda, but didn't pursue it for some reason.

Yeah, so sad it is dead. I mean it works, but no more high progress. So it is a legacy. But it worked so fast and smooth :(

At the same time Craft is too focused to replace Google Docs with swipes. Feels weird.

So have to use Notion from phone and VSCode with Claude code on computer. I miss normal implementation of Claude code on my phone :( I really wish to have always computer and access to it maybe. Official Claude code iOS app works weird.
