Is there a way to submit notes outside the apps (via an API or a webhook)? I use extensive IFTTT integration with Evernote and that's a blocker for most of the alternatives.

As Notesnook encrypts everything it isn't possible to send to any external provider. However, we have "Note publishing" in our roadmap that can potentially be used for this.

I should have been clearer, apologies: Not sending from Notesnook to external sources but sending from external sources to Notesnook in order to create a note. But I guess if it's encrypted by the apps before syncing, that's going to be tricky. Although a commandline helper app would work - it would have access to the local encryption configuration of the apps.

How is this not another Simplenote clone?

Either you are trolling or...I don't know.

There's an open source Evernote clone called Joplin i've been dabling with a bit. It also enables encryption.

If Notesnook ever gets as many features as Joplin i'd consider it as Joplin's UI is slightly wonky, but looking at the page it seems behind in terms of features.

1. Joplin has no web version. 2. Joplin's so-called "encryption" is not their main focus 3. The organization features are barebones (without plugins) 4. Their export format (JEX) is horrible. 5. Their "cross-platform" apps are also not 100% cross compatible.

There's a lot missing in Joplin. Notesnook is not going after Joplin though; it has already crossed it in terms of privacy, security, portability, and UI.

I have trouble believing any company that makes claims about privacy but won't provide source code to back them up.

It is unclear what the free tier entails, was anyone able to see? (I'm not going to sign up just to see the features, and I'm definitely not going to sign up for a subscription for an unknown product that might not be around in a year).
