I just discover another way too. Visual studio code plus markdown preview enhanced. With vim mode you got pretty much the same thing.

For the developers among us that is just one plugin away.

This plugin just shows you the graph, right? VNote can scroll the corresponding element into view and highlight it, which is very helpful when the class diagram is really large on a small screen.

By the way, when you double click an element in the preview graph, VNote could highlight the originating definition code in the editor.

The Live Preview Tunnel, I think, is what makes VNote different from other editors. :)

Just download it and compare to 6.0 it seems the startup time are heaps better.

Did anyone use dvajs https://github.com/dvajs/dva and any comments?

So what are the better priced alternatives?

I was curious about the answer myself, and bumped into kinto: http://kinto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html

- Build collaborative applications with real time updates and fine-grained permissions.

- Our JavaScript client for browsers leverages IndexedDB to work completely offline and synchronise data when online.

- It’s even possible for data to be encrypted on the client to keep user data safe on the server.

- Permissions can be set on the stored objects, making it possible to share data between users.

- Kinto is an HTTP API in front of a database. Interactions with the server are simple HTTP requests rather than complex SQL or map-reduce queries. It is meant to be minimalist and simple.

This would be a self-hosted solution. They have a pre-built docker image to spin it up.

Looks like Kinto uses PostgreSQL as the backend (http://docs.kinto-storage.org/en/stable/configuration/produc...). This was a little buried in the web docs and website.

I've look at that as well, but "scaling production" in 2017 roadmap worries me.

Have you heard of RetroAnalytics? It's a predictive analytics platform that offers similar features but without the need to be locked into Firebase. https://retroanalytics.io

Disclaimer - I'm the founder :)

What's the pricing model?

We charge a monthly fee which is based on the sessions you are getting and then we have a few different tiers. We should have our pricing up on the site in the next few days and we have a 30 day free trial to make sure you are happy with the product, feel free to reach out to me - david at retroanalytics.io.

For an alternative to the predictive portions just launched, check out https://blog.set.gl/ currently in a free beta.

what have you switch to?

I'm not sure yet -- still using the non-subscription/non-Cloud 1password. I probably have it easier than most, as I don't like the browser plugins and 1password-mini, and I just use 1password as a store for passwords -- I open it, search, and paste when I need to.

So I can just go to using an encrypted DMG + plain text if push comes to shove.

I used Wallet by Acrylic before 1password, so I might return to that.

Look into KeePass, it's better than an encrypted DMG :). There's a Mac implementation called MacPass which is really well-designed and easy to use.

I've been using KeePass on Mac with an app called KeePassX for nearly a decade. The user experience is not as slick as an app like iPassword, but it is free and secure.

I personally use pass[0], which keeps passwords in GPG-encrypted text files. Copying a password to my clipboard looks like this, for example:

pass -c web/bank

...or if you also use Alfred, there's a workflow for it.

If you're purely Apple then the build in Keychain and iCloud Keychain for syncing across devices is fine.

You can also look at flynn https://flynn.io/ which have database HA built in.

But I've a hard time running it.

the benchmark page [1] mark did a good summary of how various technologies compare.

you can always upgrade the cpu if you find the performance lagging.

Can you evaluate Kontena as well while you are at it?

Just tried in windows and compare it to cmder by opening a small json file in vim. cmder is much quicker rendering the next page of code. I guess is still much more good looking than cmder though.
