The iPhone's notes functionality leaves a little to be desired. I tried using a variety of wikis for keeping notes so that I could have access from both desktop and phone. While they're all very capable and fancy, they're all a bit "fat" with JavaScript and other knick-knacks, which drive up the time between click and ready-to-edit. I wanted something I could pull up on my iPhone with a minimum of latency.
I also wanted:
- Plain text file storage (no databases)
- Markdown syntax
- Wiki-like linking
- Search
- Ability to embed images
...all without compromising speed too much. And of course, it has to look halfway decent on the iPhone.
So, I did the hacker thing and tried rolling my own. I call the result "W2" because I'm really running low on name ideas.
