Don't want to see the full address of an internal link when accessing one note from another - I just want to see an underlined hyperlink name. Also, clicking on the internal link has no effect in itself, it can only be accessed by clicking on the text icon on the toolbar. In my case, clicking on the text icon momentarily opens the referenced note with a blue background, but it immediately closes, depositing me back to the list of notes. Something's going wrong. Also,why no spell check in Linux?

This app is very quick and easy to use. I have a suggestion though. I would like the ability to put notes of a given year into a stash that wouldn't load unless I opened it. This would save processing time when searching for recent notes. You could always have the option to search all notes.

Simplenote is an absolutely phenomenal note app. So far, it is the best I've used, and I've used many others before. The, well, simple UI is very easy to navigate, and it does its job as a note-taking app perfectly. No extra distractions or anything, just you and your notes. All the benefits are only amplified by the breathtaking multi-platform syncing that is practically instantaneous, allowing me to use the app anywhere! Did I mention this is all for free?
