Note nvUltra, the successor to this program, has been in development/private beta for several years[1,2].<p>I've been meaning to make my own web-based version of Notational Velocity that adds a few novel features of my own. (Plus inspiration from apps like TaskPaper and Drafts)<p>There are a lot of Notational Velocity clones; currently my favorite is: <a href="https://simplenote.com/" rel="nofollow">https://simplenote.com/</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/" rel="nofollow">https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://nvultra.com/" rel="nofollow">https://nvultra.com/</a>
From Brett Terpstra's blog just a few days ago:<p>>I’ve said this before, but I need to keep repeating it based on the number of queries I get. nvALT is at end of life, unless someone picks up the reigns and modernizes the (open source) code base. As it stands now, nvALT barely functions on modern OSs.<p><a href="https://brettterpstra.com/2024/04/20/a-plea-to-nvalt-users/" rel="nofollow">https://brettterpstra.com/2024/04/20/a-plea-to-nvalt-users/</a>
I flagged this submission because nvAlt is and has, been obsolete for quite some time and does not run on most modern setups without some hacking. The nvAlt author is trying to get people to stop using it. In fact, the author reminded people of it being obsolete this weekend[1].<p>nvAlt's logical successor is nvUltra[2], which has been in beta and slow development for several years. Last I was in the private beta, the users forum was filled with complaints about the slow progress of development, so maybe keep that in mind before choosing nvUltra.<p>I was a long-time user of nvAlt and have since migrated to Obsidian[3]. With the Omnisearch plugin[4] and some UI settings adjustments, you can get pretty close to the nvAlt experience.<p>1. <a href="https://brettterpstra.com/2024/04/20/a-plea-to-nvalt-users/" rel="nofollow">https://brettterpstra.com/2024/04/20/a-plea-to-nvalt-users/</a><p>2. <a href="https://nvultra.com/" rel="nofollow">https://nvultra.com/</a><p>3. <a href="https://obsidian.md" rel="nofollow">https://obsidian.md</a><p>4. <a href="https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch">https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch</a> (but install from within Obsidian itself)
The reason I wrote KeenWrite[1] is because, to my knowledge, there are no Markdown editors that support interpolated variables. Why aren't document variables more common?<p>[1]: <a href="https://keenwrite.com/" rel="nofollow">https://keenwrite.com/</a>
I used to love this program. Alas, it is very out-of-date. The best alternative I've yet found is The Archive:<p><a href="https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/" rel="nofollow">https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/</a>
