I’m assuming that you’re targeting a technical audience since you’re posting here. I don’t want to sew any bias into the thread, but I’d be surprised if most people didn’t say that they prefer markdown.<p>That being said, I’ve been using dropbox paper for note taking which supports markdown and I’ve been loving it. The other tool I use for quick notes is jrnl.sh<p>Good luck building the project! Definitely do a Show HN thread when it’s finished.

Those are actually not incompatible, see for instance org-mode :).
