I’ve just started using Sidebar, and I’m really enjoying it. Simple, intuitive, quick…and I especially appreciate the Export function so that my notes can be saved as CSVs and used in other apps. (Haven’t tried Export yet, but it’s a nice plus for my uses.) And thanks, dev, for making this a universal iOS app. So many apps I like (or would potentionally like) are available only in the iPhone format. Those apps are too tiny for my tired old eyes, so I appreciate any dev that accommodates the larger format, especially with landscape orientation for easier keyboard use.
Open. Type. Done. Sidebar opens fast, keyboard ready for your ideas. No folders, no document names, no organizing. Just get the idea down before it's...
