The federated wiki idea is interesting. It's the first time I hear about it. The json file format does look very similar to what Quiver has. It is cool to be able to resolve note conflicts with a drag-n-drop UI.

And thanks for ACE! Without it I wouldn't be able to create Quiver. It's an awesome code editor!

That would be cool, but would make the app more complicated. Think about all the other languages. You would have to include tons of runtimes. It's better to leave that to other apps/frameworks/tools.

I like to keep Quiver simple and lightweight. Quiver app is only 8MB unzipped, while Evernote is over 160MB unzipped.

Yes Quiver has a very simple hierarchy: notebooks and notes. But you can use tags and linked notes for more flexible note organization. Also, when there are lots of notes, the only practical way to find something quickly is a full-text search, which Quiver supports nicely.

You can take a screenshot with the standard OS X shortcuts (Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, etc.) then paste into a text cell. Quiver lets you save images inside text cells, including web images (which will be saved locally so they work offline).

If you like a quick workflow, use Command-Control-Shift-3 to take a screenshot and save it to clipboard, then paste in Quiver.

Quiver 2 saves all data in plain JSON files. So if you have turned on FileVault on Mac, the data files will be encrypted. Otherwise no.
