A solid notes app but could use a couple tweaks

I’ve been using Simplenote for a couple years now and it has become my favorite note taking app by far. Its simple, intuitive interface makes it a breeze to add notes, search for notes, or browse your notes. They have apps for your iPhone and iPad and syncing is seamless, making it the perfect quick note taker on the go. Unlike other apps, they provide a built in syncing system so you’re not required to have a Dropbox account. Overall I’m pretty happy with it. However there is always room for improvement which is why I am writing this review.

1) Please add the ability to hide the notes list in the Mac app. I use Simplenote for personal and work notes, which means when I’m at the office with my screen visible to multiple people, or even using a projector, and I need to look up a note, I don’t want my colleagues seeing my personal notes about which wines I should buy or my date planning.

2) Please provide a way to export the notes from within the app. TXT files would be great.

3) The sync gets a little wonky when I’m typing fast and cutting/pasting paragraphs. If I do it too quickly, the sync overwrites what’s on the screen and blocks of text get put in weird places so I end up having to use the Undo command to return it to a legible state then make my changes again more slowly.
