Note taking apps

Zillions of note taking apps, but only one that don't suck: Quip. Why? Lean and great looking structured text with (check) lists, mighty tables and images, you can edit while you are offline, together with others, from all your devices or via (mobile) web browser (cloud sync, offline and collaborative editable).

I miss an automatic generated table of contents for navigation at the side (Hackpad / Dropbox Paper have this). Also dragging list items up or down would be nice. Pasting a URL should not replace the selected text but make it a hyperlink. The collaboration features are to complicated and also accessing the notes / folder structure.

BTW: TaskPaper still is the most keyboard friendly to do manager. Plain text files but knows projects:, - tasks, notes, and @tags just by adding : - or @ with clever navigation, filter and search capabilities.

A perfect solution would be:
 • What You See Is What You Mean editor generates stable and future proof markdown-like text internally like Confluence, Hackpad, Dropbox Paper, Quip and always looks great
 • Keyboard friendly structuring text by typing
 • Search and new note in one step like Notation Velocity
 • Offline editing
 • Cloud sync
 • Collaboration
 • Clickable Table of Contents always automatically available
 • Access from any device with web browser, also mobile web browser
 • Images
 • Tables
 • Elastic Tabstops

Worth mentioning: Hackpad / Dropbox Paper is nice but was not offline editable (summer 2016). Notational Velocity (with simplenote.com sync) have the geniusly search and create new note combined but without tables or images. Apple iCloud Notes is not that bad anymore.

Multimarkdown is mighty with latex, math, footnotes, images and tables.
