Syncing sections with Simplenote

Postby dutch_in_seattle » Wed Mar 27, 2013 10:24 pm

I just bought the Pro version because I wanted the ability to sync with Simplenote, so I can use the Simplenote app on my iPad and iPhone for my notes. I was using ResophNotes, but I like CintaNotes a lot better, particularly the sections feature. I like to use sections as my main notes grouping mechanism, but I noticed that you can only sync one section with Simplenote. This means that only the notes in that one section show up in my Simplenote app on my mobile device. Is there a way to make sure all sections synchronize with Simplenote? I know I could put all notes in a single section and use tags to group notes, but I prefer not to have to deal with one long, long list of notes.
Would it be an option to synchronize all sections in CintaNotes with Simplenote by using a special tag in Simplenote, so something like ##SectionName##? That way, CintaNotes can put all notes in the right sections, and all notes show up in Simplenote rather than just the ones in one section.

Thanks!
Ron

Hi Ron,

the feature is not available right now. It is on the roadmap though. You can vote for it here: http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/147254-ability-to-sync-several-sections-with-simplenote/

That's a realy pity. This is a deal-breaker for me. The sections feature was something that drew me to CintaNotes, but it's less than useful if I can't synchronize all sections with Simplenote. You can't really try the synchronization feature until you purchase a license, which I did. I may need to use the 30 days money back guarantee.

Hi Ron,

I've already answered on the roadmap, but for convenience of other users I'll repeat my answer here:

Hi Ron, thanks a lot for supporting us! I'm glad to tell that this feature is already in the works and will be released in approx. a month. But if you wish you can request a refund, just drop a line to support@cintanotes.com


This was planned from the beginning of the SN sync feature, we just didn't have enough time to pull it through. We are starting working on this now, approximately this will be released End of April - beginning of May.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I will definitely keep the software, as I really, really like it, and being able to sync all sections with Simplenote will make it absolutely perfect for my needs.

Ron,

I'm glad to tell you that we've implemented syncing of multiple sections!
Please take a look at the new beta version here.

(But since it is beta, I don't advise to let it on to your main Simplenote account just yet, it would be better to experiment
with it using a test account).
