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!

-Adam

As a bit of Stream of Review, here goes:

1. Welcome to SilverNote Standard Edition!
Standard Edition notebooks can contain up to 80 notes each. For larger notebooks, consider upgrading to SilverNote Premium.

Why didn't you provide a link to Premium? I'm growing less interested in testing "standard" copies of programs that have Premium versions, because I want to see what features you are Upselling.

2. "Save Notebook" during install doesn't (easily) allow a full system browse. I got stuck in "My Documents/My Notebooks" and that's a disaster for me - I never voluntarily ever go to "My Documents". (Most irritating idea I've ever seen from MS.)

3. Sorry, here's the sinker from me. It's not (easily) a Tree. I bet you put a ton of work into it, but sometimes to quote a chess saying, if you spend 1000 hours but the first move is wrong (for some users?) then the rest is wrong. After a moderately detailed search for me a few months ago, my winning note system was a program that produces trees that could export to web pages. Until you hit that function, I cannot use anything you use as a serious resource.

So we'll welcome a new RightNote competitor.  :)

@adamc - first up, welcome to Donation Coder. I think you're going to like it here. :Thmbsup:

Second, out of curiosity, have you tested for the maximum file size (or number of items) for a notebook? And if so, what is it? I ask because I sometimes need to assemble very large data collections. So I always worry about lockups, file corruption, or getting frozen out of a collection if it inadvertently exceeds a program's limits.
