Seems strangely devoid of information... Am I supposed to already know what vesper is?
I'd love to know what the background/reasoning was for another note-taking app. Sounds like a great team but like some other people have said - it doesn't look like a brilliant space to start out in.
The MacStories Review [1] has a gif that shows how the app transitions from screen to screen. To me, that's the most interesting part of the app because it introduces a new UI/UX that feels faster and seems unique. Who knows if this will catch on, but it could be something not unlike pull-to-refresh, the hamburger button, or the basement metaphor on iOS if people really like it.
So maybe it's just another note app that won't work for those of us already using a different solution. But the UI/UX design is pretty cool and potentially noteworthy.

I just don't get this app. There are thousand alternatives cheaper or free.
What about a web version of this? If you want to write more than 100 words the iPhone becomes something really annoying. I hope they release, at least, this option some day.
Android version in the works?
I thought about making an app like this for a long time. Kind of like indexing your thoughts. However, I feel like evernote may have taken the space in a way that wouldn't allow any competing apps to scale.
It looks good but damn so difficult to install. it doesn't appear in appstore!
i really like it!
feature request: allow for a lock-code on this app please.
(please note that my post is meant to give others another use-case for the Vesper app, and isn't an ad for a competitor product!)
I don't care much for a diary or travel book, but I do use DayOne[1] (for OS X and iOS) as a journal of interesting stuff I find (mostly on HN). Years ago I used delicious to save/tag webpages, after its stagnation I used other services (I don't even remember their names), then started tagging stuff in Evernote, but none of them were as natural and easy-to-use as DayOne. It lacks a lot of features, but the Markdown format and its general ease of use makes up for that - I just press Control-Shift-D and start typing (or pasting a URL + it's HN discussion link for future reference). Occasionally I write down an interesting quote or image, or a passage I've read in an article. Also, the way it stores entries is using plist files, so I'm not afraid of platform lock-in. If I find something better (like this Vesper app here), I'll just write a convertor and translate those .plist files to the new format.
I haven't tried Vesper yet (probably will wait until there's an OS X client, which is where I use DayOne 99% of the time), but it looks very nice and promising.
