We have a great Simplenote for Mac client, and a super clean web version, but nothing first-party for Linux. If anyone is experienced with Linux desktop development and would be interested in creating something extremely minimalist like our Mac app please get in touch!
Much better tag functionality would make the Mac client at least interesting. Great is a bit of a stretch. (I’m a fan btw, just getting impatient…)
Linux? Just build a command line interface they can pipe to: can’t beat that for minimalism. ; )
I have read your previous posts on meddling with Linux. Love to hear an update on it considering things have changed significantly on Linux.
I haven’t tried desktop Linux in a year or two, if I did it now it would probably be as a full-screen Parallels instance, so would still get power management, wifi, etc from the host OS X.
Why not develop the desktop version in qt to target all platforms simultaneously?
There is already a Linux client but it could certainly use some motivation (funding).

I’ve been a huge fan of Simplenote for a long time – it was one of the first, and most used apps on my iPhone 3! Now I’m using Ubuntu, nvPY sits open on my desktop everyday, and is invaluable as resource. However, even the developer admits, it’s not very pretty!
I’m no developer, but I’ve heard tell (from Canonical) that transforming an app from Android to Ubuntu isn’t very difficult. If I had the skill, it would the first thing I’d do!
As for Simplenote itself, the only feature I’d like to see, is the ability to choose where information is stored if possible, perhaps our own NAS.

No word about a Windows client? I and a friend of mine developed Notation, a simple, extremely fast and totally keyboard-friendly Simplenote client for Windows. Take a look, Matt: http://getnotation.com/
I’m not a developer, but I do use Linux Mint. I’m not a command line guy, so that wouldn’t be useful for me. A version for Ubuntu/Linux Mint would be great.
Its a better step, but still a windows lover….
Have you tried Notation, Imran? http://getnotation.com/
I’ve tried Notation and am loving it! Keep on the good work.
Check out the “sncli” Simplenote application. It offers both a command line and curses interface to Simplenote.
