I'd steer away from Ulysses as it has a tendency to corrupt plain text files created outside of it's system with it's own idiosyncratic version of Markdown.
Going back to the needs you describe - *+ Able to handle plain text files * *+ Understand Markdown (easy to preview) * *+ Integration with BBEdit * *+ Light-weight * *+ Search * *+ Index * I would definitely recommend nvALT as it provides everything you require and it can be populated by notes from any plain text editor on your system including BBedit. I personally use DEVONthink to index my nvAlt folder as this provides me with the best of both worlds. A lightweight plain text client (nvALT) and best in class sophisticated search capabilities (DEVONthink). The Open Meta tagging implemented in nvALT is readable by DEVONthink too which creates another useful way to slice and dice your notes database. My only warning with using DEVONthink and nvALT in tandem is to ensure that you only use DEVONthink to index you're nvAlt folder (don't import them into DEVONthink's monolithic database). This keeps things lean. Once DEVONthink indexes a folder it will automatically update it's index as you add new content. Other helper applications to consider as part of maintaining a plain text notes system are HoudahSpot & Ammonite. jm On Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at 8:49:56 AM UTC+1, Jan Erik Moström wrote: > > I write a lot of notes in Markdown format, they are usually highly > temporary but I would like to save them for archival purpose ... but I > don't want them to "clutter up" my file system. > > I know, it sounds like a contradiction, just humor me :) > > What I want to do is to have some kind of "notebook" where I can dump > files like this (and yes, there are numerous notebooks out there).
