Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Possibly more secure on web server
Due to the lack of a built-in editor MDwiki may be less susceptible to spam and defacement compared to other options when served from a web server.
Pro Doesn't require a web server
MDwiki is a self-contained JavaScript app that is very fast and can run in some web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox.
Pro Completely free, ad-free, with unlimited devices
Zoho (the company behind Notebook) has been providing free, advertisement-free, productivity applications for over a decade, and this one is no different.
Pro Cloud sync
As an Evernote alternative, Notebook securely stores notes to the cloud, allowing you to access notes on all of your mobile devices, while the sync is seamless. Also, web app support is coming soon.
Pro Easy to use
If you've ever used Evernote, then you know it has lot's of menus and that doing simple things requires lots of taps. Notebook is designed to be more functional, and lets you take and access notes quickly.
Pro Pre-built checklist and audio notes
Rather than create a checklist within a text note, Notebook has a pre-built checklist card, which makes creating them really easy. Plus the items you check off move to the bottom of the note. Audio notes work the same way. Rather than treat audio notes like attachments (as Evernote does), Notebook has a pre-built audio note which is really nice, very similar to Evernote in that fashion, which makes it a good alternative.
Pro Great UI
Cons
Con External program must be used for editing
A separate program must be used to make changes to documents as MDwiki lacks a built-in editor.
Con Requires additional permissions in Google Chrome
Supposedly, you can get it to work in Google Chrome by modifying JavaScript permissions, but these same changes may decrease security.
Con Migrate from Evernote non functional
The migrate from Evernote function resulted in blank notes. The headers are there but blank notes
Con Available on limited platforms
Currently there is no web app or Windows version available.
They are working on both, but there is no set release date.
