No, I don't want that option.

Whew, I hate auto-starting programs

Understood. But what I was more interested in was the functional limits for the program. I worry because even though a database may not have a limit in theory, it must have one in reality. Usually it's a limitation of the underlying 'engine' rather than the amount of RAM these days.

Gotcha... Each note is stored as a regular HTML file on your hard drive, and each drawing within that note is stored as a separate SVG file (unless you have encryption enabled, in which all notes are stored in a single file with a 140 terabyte limit). SilverNote also indexes the contents of your notes for searching purposes in a file with a 140 terabyte limit. Also, when you open a note, the entire note is loaded into memory - so the maximum size of an individual note will be limited more by how long you're willing to wait for it to load versus file size limits.

Thanks for all the great comments so far - and for generously taking the time to check out the software!

There was a request for access to the premium version. To do so, just go to the "Help" menu, click "Activate", and enter the following code: APJA0C0H00GH19CM872D331QHXZDVR

TaoPhoenix - it's nice to hear from someone who likes tree-style organization. I've experimented with it a bit, but just haven't been able to come up with something that feels worth the large chunk of screen real estate it takes-up... I'm curious if there's any particular way you would envision it appearing in SilverNote? (Also, thanks for pointing out the "My Documents" issue - that is now fixed.)

40hz - There is an 80 notes per notebook limit with the free version and no limit with the premium version (and there's no limit on the number of notebooks with either version). The largest notebook that I routinely use has just over 2,000 notes (average about 2-3 pages each).

m9833 - regarding online syncing, SilverNote works with storage services such as DropBox and Google Drive. Regarding cross-platform development, my initial release will be for Windows only. If there turns out to be demand for this software I'll expand to the other major platforms as well.

Curt - completely agree - great suggestions. Regarding auto-starting with windows, SilverNote does not currently do that - do you mean you would like to have the option to do so?

Hi all!

I'm the sole developer of SilverNote, a new note taking app for Windows:

    http://www.silver-note.com/

I'm getting ready to release this product, and I'd love to get your feedback before I do. I found many thoughtful comments from this forum to be helpful when developing the app, and so I thought I'd run it buy you guys and gals first.

Highlights include:

• Rich text editing, tables, images, etc.
• Vector-based drawing
• Tag-based organization
• Search-as-you-type toolbar
• Wiki-style linking between notes
• Embed any type of file directly into your notes
• Web clipping
• Screen Capturing
• Encryption
• Notes saved as standard HTML + SVG
• Automatic caching when notes are stored on a networked drive

I still have some work to do on the website, but there's enough up to at least take a peek at some of the features and download a (free) copy of the software.

Let me know what you think!
