Great article. Enjoyed reading it. I've been using Collate these past few months. It will satisfy some of your needs but not all of them (no native support for android, but since they are just text files, they can still be read and updated).

The developer was very responsive to feedback and I thought did a great job. He seems to have taken a break at the moment but the app as it is now is pretty good.

Tried Boostnote. Some pros and cons of Collate w.r.t to Boostnote

Pros

  1. Support to add attachments
  2. Exporting markdown content as PDF
  3. The content itself is stored as plain-text and so is readable and searchable by Finder

Cons:

  1. Is not open source. (I didn't think the price itself is of concern - thought the product was more than worth what I paid)
  2. Not as powerful markdown as Boost seems to have

Thanks a lot for comparison!
