No problem. Have you guys considered adding a search by date added feature? I'm not sure how often I'd use it, but it just feels like something is missing without it, kind of like if Google didn't have the I'm Feeling Lucky button. (Though I definitely would use it at least once in a while, because sometimes it's nice just to go through the archives of your lifestream to be reminded of stuff that you've completely forgotten about otherwise.)



Hm, interesting thought. One thing we have thought a lot about is a reminder function based off of tags — i.e., you set anything tagged #todo to be sent to you every day, but anything tagged as #ideas sent every month. What do you think?


Interesting idea, I could see it being useful but it doesn't really solve the same problem. Occasionally I just like reading through all my old note in the order they were created. For reference, the way I use short notes is almost like a second diary or whatever, where I have my journal of long ideas and my journal of one-liner thoughts and notes. And the reason I keep both is so that ultimately I have some sort of record of what I'm thinking and doing. So while being able to search by tags is definitely the killer feature, being able to go through it chronologically is also important.

Also, there needs to be some sort of export functionality, that should be the first feature you add!


Agreed on export, vote for it here if you'd like! http://fetchnotes.uservoice.com/forums/136052-general/sugges...

In terms of chronological order, the notes are displayed in chronological order already. On everything but iPhone and desktop (coming soon) there are timestamps within the note.
