Show HN: Noteless - A Markdown-based note-taking app for Android (opens in new tab)

I was just thinking that Markdown doesn't seem like a great fit for Android specifically because of the limited size of the keyboard.

There's third-party keyboards like [CodeBoard](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gazlaws.co...) that makes symbols etc. easier but I'm pretty wary of installing keyboards given the number of permissions they get.

Another idea could be to explore long-press formatting options or a formatting menu on selected text. Still awkward, but perhaps easier to do.

Thank you for the feedback! I will improve the keyboard bar in the next release (it currently only has the undo button). Then it will contain buttons for different common Markdown options which will toggle the current line or selection.

While I (thankfully) haven't had to write Markdown from my phone, I think this is might be worth exploring. I have very similar experiences trying to find common programming symbols in the Google keyboard on my Pixel.

Thank you for the feedback! The issue should be fixed soon.

An F-Droid and Google Play Release is planned in the coming weeks.

Even if you don't want to type on a mobile keyboard you can still preview, read, sort, categorize, delete and search your notes taken on desktop. Another option is to use the Speech-to-Text option of your mobile device/keyboard. Also the next release will contain some buttons to help with common Markdown edits (see my other comment)
