People like you who drop valuable links like #2 are the reason I keep clicking around in Hacker News :)

1. You can link to a note but it just seems like a second class feature - you need to share the note with yourself. Id like the ability to have off line only notebooks with links.
2. Thanks.
3. Per note encryption is useful, but it would be nicer to have the entire notebook stored off line on an encrypted disk. E.g. If I share my computer with people its easy to see what sets of files/notes are "open" by looking at Finders mounted disks list. If the data does not get transferred over the network it adds another layer of security - I do not have to rely on Apples implementation.
4. It is a limitation to me as reading/writing is the primary feature and its a personal preference to have a solid background. Same category as font size adjustment. Minor inconvenience.

1. I really hope we see a future feature that addresses this.
...
4. In the latest MacOS/iOS betas this has been updated to a solid background!

1. You can link between Notes. On a note, click collaborate icon, click add people, in share options tap icon for Copy Link, and then dismiss the To: dialog with the “Copy Link” text top right. Paste that link in another note. Now they’re cross-linked like a wiki. Instead of doing all this, create/use a shortcut.
2. Use Exporter: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12
3. Protect any given note with a key. The note data is encrypted, and stored encrypted anywhere it is stored.
4. Surely changing the background is an optional feature, not a limitation? There are a ton of features Notes doesn’t have, but not having them may not be in the “limitation” category.
