Markdown-app (Vimnotes)

A free note taking app using vim key bindings. Visit the site here: Vimnotes

Disclaimer: I am not an expert on vim, i've been using it for only a year, that's why i only included simple vim key bindings on this app

Feature Highlights

• Vim key bindings
• Keyboard shortcut for navigating

Todo

• Opting to normal mode and vim mode (for mobile users)
• Make user able to delete their account
• Changing password and email
• Password recovery
• Support for desktop app (electron and react router aren't in good terms apparently)

Keyboard Shortcuts

• :w or ctrl+s - to write/save current note
• :q - to close editor and open preview (can only be triggered within editor)
• :h - to open up vim cheatsheet page ( ctrl+shift+h so you can toggle between current page and vim cheatsheet page so you can easily look up vim keybindings while using your editor for ease of access)
• ctrl+shift+e - to toggle sidebar
• ctrl+shift+p - to toggle between preview and editor

Reason

I've been using Simplenote for a year now and i've been loving it, but the problem is that i wanted to be able to utilize simple vim key bindings for navigation and the godsent habit of typing :w to save a file while taking notes, so that's why I built vimnotes for my own personal use.

User data

Since this is more of a pet project than an serious one, I would like for users to not use their personal credentials for signing up,
you can use whatever email you want even if its a trash email.
