Hi, just found SeoNote when looking for a replacement for KeyNote, and I think it's great software.

I have 2 requests:

1. Ability to export to txt-rtf and or html, so far the only exporting I can do is to Treepad and Keynote.
2. A setting to "start minimized". Right now Seonote is starting in the same state it was when it was closed.

thanks for a great program.

You can export notes one at a time to text, RTF or HTML. To export,
1. Select the note to export and right click.
2. In the short cut menu, select Advanced
3. Select Export To...
4. Select the format to export to.

Thanks, hadn't seen that option.

I think a way to export all the notes in a folder would be useful, instead of having to do it one at a time.

yeah this program is way beyond advertising equaling investment of time... (although I don't run a web site so I don't really know) but a little utility that someone made in a couple of hours in VB or delphi, put it on a web site and then made $50 in ad revenue, that could be cool for a program that does something like takes a string, splits it in two, and inserts another string.

3 ways to go on this program in my humble opinion...

- Develop it to it's logical conclusion and then chalk it up to a learning process, moving on to bigger and better projects.

- Convert it to shareware... Since it's freeware now, that may result in the loss of most of the freeware user base and then you would have to build up a shareware user base!

- Wait until it becomes a mature application that seldomly recieves a bug report and is posted on all kinds of download sites on the web then come out with a corporate version that offers support... Which is to say still make it freeware for personal use and have a forum for feed back but also have an option that people in a business or professional setting can register to recieve phone/email support or something they would be interested in!

I believe a program called smartftp did that and although I have not used smartftp recently, I think all they did was add a message about in the installer for the license agreement and modify the help/about dialog.

Of course you have to realize that when you make an unique program, people will steal your idea! I only knew of just a few tree node editors and less that are specifically designed to organize personal data... (others are designed for creating help files, editing xml schema, etc..) What makes this one absolutely unique is that it allows plain text, rich text, and html. (I don't know of any other program that does all 3 document types)

Thank you for money-making ideas!

We plan to keep seonote freeware as long, as we can afford.

Your words are what keep as motivated !

Please, DON'T click on ads to support us. Advertisers pay real money from their pockets to attract prospective customers. By clicking on their ads solely to support us really harms them!

That's really a refreshing attitude.....nice to see it.

Since this guy was honestly trying to support and cooperate with the development of seonote, I think the response has been a little over the top.

There is no need to alienate or attack your user base, just tell them "please don't click in the ads". Long posts and lots of replies to state the same thing over and over again are not a "refreshing attitude", they will cause a happy user and bug finder to go away and never come back.
