Totally worth the price

I got this on sale, but now that Ive used it I think its totally worth $10. Its not perfect, but its the best notebook app Ive used, in my opinion. One of the main features that won me over is that the format can be easily exported to plain text or markdown, either from the app itself or from your own hand-rolled scripts—this is because it uses a simple human-readable JSON format, so you can safely keep all your important plans/ideas/journals in here knowing that youll be able to get access to them in 10 years if this app dies in the meantime. I would have (in some ways) preferred that it used something like Markdown as its native format, but the idea of multiple different types of "cells" that you can use in your documents/notes is really useful, and convinced me that the JSON-based format is a good compromise between human-readability and support for the feature of multiple kinds of cells. Play with the app to see what I mean about "cells", but I think youll find it a brilliant solution to weighing the pros and cons of different types of formats—say "yes" to all the formats, just choose whichever is best for your current needs. In addition to rich text, markdown, and code, there are also two types of diagrams, which you can create from text. Very nice. Im hoping they add new types of diagrams, although I havent actually run into any need yet for anything beyond what they offer, but (off the top of my head) mind-maps sound like they might be useful.

Also, it would be EXTREMELY useful to be able to export to Word format—Marked 2 was previously my go-to app for writing in Markdown and generating Word docs for all the clueless biz-types who want cant deal with anything other than the HORRIBLE Word format, but Marked 2 actually has TERRIBLE support for Word format, and can give lousy output if you do anything remotely complex.
