It would be cool to get some of this stuff in Electron but I think in that case it's actually possible to just do this in your app yourself.

I've been heads down on Chromium + Electron performance with my app around a personal knowledge repository:

Electron has been great for this but it can be slow.

We have to render PDF and HTML documents for annotation and this part can get overwhelmed if I lock up the main thread.

We still have a lot of work to go with threads and web workers to make this stuff easier I think. It's possible to do but it's definitely not easy.

Your product looks amazing but I see no use of encryption with the cloud sync? Unfortunately that's a dealbreaker for me :(

From the product description doesn't look like the main use case... it seems more for academics?
