- Apple is working on supporting the ability to export notes in Markdown from Apple Notes.
- John Gruber clarifies that this is not about turning Apple Notes into a Markdown editor but rather adding export functionality.
- Gruber prefers Apple Notes' current WYSIWYG rich text editing interface, which he finds appropriate for quick notes.
- He criticizes Apple Notes' use of hashtags instead of real tokenized tags like in the Finder.
- Gruber sees Markdown export as a positive addition, especially given Apple Notes' current limited export options (PDF and Pages).
- He expresses curiosity about how Apple will handle images in Markdown exports.
