Love how brilliantly simple & clean this application is! But, its written in description that the app is responsive, while, the demo app didn't render in a responsive state on my iphone.., m i missing something?

One more thing. Tested on ipad. Works awesome! So, I guess, even on ipad mini, it would be good enough. But smartphone, Well, we have a problem here... :-/

@sheafferusa It should be responsive. Can you take a screenshot on your iphone and upload it here showing where you think it is broken?

Thanks for the quick reply!
Sure Boss. I checked it on iPhone and collected some screenshots. Just follow the link given below to have a look at them.

OpenNote on iPhone
https://app.box.com/s/g2stukwc5qmu6sik2uz3

As you can see, the overall UI that is rendered on the iPhone is a bit too miniscule, making it almost impossible for the user to read/understand or make sense of the application without eye strain. Again, for the 'iphone version of app' to be used, every step takes a couple of pinch & zoom to get things done, which makes it very hard. (As in, If one needs to write a note, we would need a series of pinch-zooms to do it, and then again a series of pinch zooms to save it and go back to notes and, it goes on...)
The whole UI seems to be a desktop app, which is being accessed using an iphone. I hope you get my point.

To make it clearer, I have given some sample screenshots of how a note making app could have been designed, to make it smartphone friendly, when accessed using a mobile browser. This kind of a UI makes it insanely easy and intuitive for a user to use, and it feels natural and perfectly adjusted for the small screens of the smartphones. Just use the link given below to access the sample screenshots.

Some Examples of Suggested UI for a note taking app on iPhone

(These are just some examples, and I am pretty sure, you would come out with something much more better than these ones, specially when you would apply your own design principles used for creating this app for the desktop/iPads.)

Again, for an iPad, the UI of Open Note is awesome, and works great. Moreover, The way you have used big cards to visually represent 'notebooks' is amazing & quite easy on the eyes. And, infact, I love your sense of design and aesthetics. :)
