Show HN: Turtl – A secure, encrypted Evernote alternative
I'm sorry but I don't think you should call this an Evernote alternative.- No iOS client (Although the site does say coming soon)- No Firefox webclipper- No Web interface- Large / heavy application- No Drawing / Diagram support- The app is not native, it's seems it's a web frameIt's interface doesn't feel very snappy, it feels like it's built with in a Javascript framework perhaps?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.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...What I do really like is that it uses Markdown, that's something sorely missed in Evernote.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.
