Show HN: Turtl – A secure, encrypted Evernote alternative
I'm sorry but I don't think you should call this an Evernote alternative.<p>- No iOS client (Although the site does say coming soon)<p>- No Firefox webclipper<p>- No Web interface<p>- Large / heavy application<p>- No Drawing / Diagram support<p>- The app is not native, it's seems it's a web frame<p>It's interface doesn't feel very snappy, it feels like it's built with in a Javascript framework perhaps?<p>Evernote has been around for a long time and has grown to 110MB uncompressed / installed, this app is 100MB and it's only in its early stages and has hardly any features implemented yet - that's worrying to me.<p>Looking at OSX's power utilisation Turtle appears to often utilise one CPU core heavily under load where Evernote seems to thread processes more efficient and ends up using around 60% less power on my 2015 Macbook in the use I put it through which was common activities such as adding and removing notes, copy / pasting text, launching and closing the app etc...<p>What I do <i>really</i> like is that it uses Markdown, that's something sorely missed in Evernote.<p>I'm really sorry to be quite harsh, I really do love when people try to improve software by creating their own alternative and that's something that's sorely needed in the land of Evernote like apps, however I don't think this comes close to a possible alternative.
