Code Notes was developed to free you from tutorial hell by helping you retain crucial coding concepts as you learn how to code. Often times, studying code takes so much longer because foundational concepts are forgotten as you move forward through tutorials. Code Notes helps to prevent this by making study, revision and looking up code concepts so much easier. Code Notes offers the convenience of syncing your notes to iCloud making your notes available to all your devices and on multiple platforms. It uses a simple and straightforward interface which is great for beginners. It avoids the complication of needing to know formatting styles like markdown to create notes.
