Heynote is a dedicated scratchpad for developers. It functions as a large persistent text buffer where you can write down anything you like. Works great for that Slack message you don't want to accidentally send, a JSON response from an API you're working with, notes from a meeting, your daily to-do list, etc.
|
|
|
|
The Heynote buffer is divided into blocks, and each block can have its own Language set (e.g. JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, etc.). This gives you syntax highlighting and lets you auto-format that JSON response.
|
|
|
|
Available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

## Development
|
|
|
|
To develop Heynote you need Node.js and you should (hopefully) just need to check out the code and then run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> npm install
|
|
> npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run Tests
|
|
|
|
To run the tests:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> npm run test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run the tests in the Playwright UI:
|

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Where is the buffer data stored?
|
|
|
|
See the [documentation](https://heynote.com/docs/#user-content-the-buffer-file).
|
|
|
|
### Can you make a mobile app?
|
|
|
|
No, at the moment this is out of scope, sorry.
|
|
|
|
### Can you add a feature for naming blocks and/or adding tags? [(#44)](https://github.com/heyman/heynote/issues/44)
|
|
|
|
Currently, I'm not planning on adding this. The main reason is that it goes against the scratchpadness of the program.
|
|
|
|
I can totally see the usefulness of such a feature, and it's definitely something that I would expect from a more traditional Notes app. However a large part of Heynote's appeal is it's simplicity, and if that is to remain so, I'm going to have to say no to a lot of actually useful features.
|
|
|
|
### What are the default keyboard shortcuts?
|
|
|
|
See the [documentation](https://heynote.com/docs/#user-content-default-key-bindings).
