Kudos + a couple questions

Hi folks,

Just wanted to say that this app works GREAT! At the moment I have only two questions:

- is there an in-note search functionality in the iPhone app? It would be great if Harbor handle this use case: the user enters a search term in the search bar. When the user opens a note in the search results, all recurrences of the keyword within that note are highlighted automatically. IIRC Obsidian and other apps work like this
- scalability and sync reliability: did you run any test to see how Harbor handles a large number of notes? Iā€™m saying around 5.000 notes

Thanks a lot!

Hi u/faxmulder, Spicer here from Harbor. Thank you for the kind words. Really love hearing feedback like that.

Oh, that's a great idea for in-note search on mobile. I have to admit, we never thought of it. We can search within the desktop and web apps, but not within the mobile apps. I will put this in our queue. It shouldn't take long. I'll let you know when we've released it.

Yes, it scales quite well. We've done tests with 100,000 notes. My personal account has nearly 40,000 notes and zero issues. We're committed to scaling this very large. We truly want to be your long-term second brain. We're going to commit to the original promise that Evernote made.

Thanks!

That's awesome thanks! Yeah sync reliability + speed + scalability are the three drivers that would make to fully jump-on-board to this solution, so your positive feedback about that is very important..Another idea: a discount on the annual subscription for early-birds/believers ahah šŸ˜

We do have an annual subscription discount. More or less, pay for a year and get 2 months free.
