Though it's a different beast, the (Smallest) Federated Wiki shares some similarities with this. It uses a JSON format and allows different paragraphs to use different plugins, including a code plugin:

http://fed.wiki.org/view/choose-plugins/view/about-code-plug...

It is also cool in that it's a federated wiki. If you're not familiar with the idea, consider listening to this recent JavaScript Jabber podcast with Ward Cunningham:

It's a great concept and you can set up a federated wiki on your own machine with "npm install wiki".

Edit: Sorry for failing to only provide an alternative without commenting on Quiver!

Though I am clearly excited about fed wiki, I also intend to buy Quiver because it meets specific needs that I have with easy image inclusion, export to HTML and I may even have a use for the presentation mode.

Nice to see ACE used this way... I worked on ACE some years back and currently work on a web tech-based desktop editor (Brackets).

Congrats on a great project!

The federated wiki idea is interesting. It's the first time I hear about it. The json file format does look very similar to what Quiver has. It is cool to be able to resolve note conflicts with a drag-n-drop UI.

And thanks for ACE! Without it I wouldn't be able to create Quiver. It's an awesome code editor!

You're welcome for my little bit of ACE. There were others with a much bigger hand in it than me (Fabian Jakobs and Julian Viereck come to mind instantly). It was a fun project (and probably still is!)
