Just happened to stumble upon Nottingham – The elegant notepad for your Mac today. It´s a note-taking app for mac in the spirit of Notational Velocity in that it´s simple and optimised for keyboard use.

I like (other than the delicious icon and the improved UI) that it also supports syncing with the Simplenote app for the iPhone. Sync is a must these days.

What really tickled my fancy however was that it also supports Markdown which I just read John Gruber´s excellent documentation on yesterday !

In his words:

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
