Thanks!

Update: I've implemented the "Archive" feature. Thanks again for the suggestion! http://5iler.com/

I've updated the Shortcuts help screen on Windows :)

Hi! Thanks for the feedback.

1) I'm working on implementing Markdown and will be using friendly headings once we sort that out.

2) I love this idea! In fact, it's been on my wishlist for some time now -- I plan on shipping it this week. I've been calling it "Snapshot Backup", but I think "Archive" is a much better word for it. Thank you :)

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I definitely plan on adding an off switch for Markdown, and will only be going through implementation if it doesn't impact speed/usability in a noticeable way. The plan is to make it a minimal implementation (i.e. keyboard shortcuts only) and barely something you would notice you had.

The reason I'd like to add it is because having switched over from TextEdit and Evernote, the one thing I miss are the Cmd+B,I,Us etc.

Thank you! As a matter of fact, Markdown support is the next big thing I'm working on, and I plan to look into incorporating lists.

This may be a known issue: it has to do with the fact that whenever Dropbox syncs, the undo state is reset. If you haven't setup Dropbox sync and have been experiencing this, let me know.

Try it out! It's a hyphen-based separator I found myself using to divide chunks of text. For now it almost functions as "sub-notes" feature.

The keyboard shortcut is Cmd/Ctrl + /

Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @03:08PM (#7900858)
Appreciate it :)

Actually, you can already use Ctrl+Numbers -- command is essentially just an alias for Macs (i.e. the Shortcuts modal is the misleading part).

After some digging, I realized this was a Windows + Chrome issue with a particular font size and I was able to fix it!

Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @01:34PM (#7900324)
That makes sense. I'll try my best to include it in the next version!
Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @01:32PM (#7900308)
Sure -- right now, Ctrl+Number works as an alternative, so considering getting rid of Cmd+Number all together.
Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @01:29PM (#7900284)
Thanks! I'll update it to reflect OS/Browser.
Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @01:27PM (#7900276)
Thanks! I'll update the Shortcuts modal to reflect this.

FYI: I am planning to open source the code within the next two weeks. Please get in touch if you're interested in contributing!

Since I built the first prototype a few weeks ago, it's been changing every day for me! Interesting to observe the change in contexts.

Right now it's: Thoughts, Code, 5iler, Today, Private

Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @12:49PM (#7900007)
Thanks!

Out of curiosity, which browser are you using? As far as I'm aware, I didn't build in any Cmd+N hijacking into the app (I did do Cmd+S for syncing/saving though, and Cmd+1,2,3,4,5 for switching between files -- is that what you mean?).

Re:Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad on Monday June 16, 2014 @12:28PM (#7899886)
Thanks! :)

Had a few complaints about the font, working on adding customization in the next version.
