no export is available at the moment, but we are considering adding that in. What formats would you want to be able to export to?

Thank you!

It is real-time editing! We leverage web-sockets to sync across multiple logged-in sessions. But as of today it does not support multiple users collaborating on the same document.

Totally a fair use-case and request!

Right now we don't have support for a local storage mechanism or self-hosting. We are extremely keen on privacy and are very open to working towards either of those two options.

Lowercase really shines when you want to take notes free-form and then be able to share those notes out into the world. You can easily make a note public & even cooler than that you can turn a lowercase note into a presentation with just a few clicks.

Here's an old example I pulled up -> https://www.lowercase.app/@matt/p/1f6c83d5-2869-4024-a687-fc...

In my editor I was able to just group parts of my note into logical slide sections and then publish.

Edit: you can move through the slide show with your left and right arrows.

Very early stages, but we just went live!

Note taking, simplified. From idea to go-live in seconds. https://www.lowercase.app/

There was an app that did something related to this called facewash (renamed to simplewash) https://www.facebook.com/simplewash/, but it seems to since have been shut down. May be worth it to shoot them a message
Misleading title is misleading. Just dropping OS X 10.6 - 10.8
