Thank you. Corrected the parts you pointed out!!
As for the part where desktop google sign-in does not work, regarding your description, it seems that the part that executes the app protocol using a browser does not seem to work.... I'm sorry. Let me see why not.

"Write smartly" is normal to me as a speaker of British English. That's not to say the alternative shouldn't be preferred though.

"What's 'Smart' and why do I need to learn it?"

British people dress smartly and often act smartly but I've never heard anyone say a a book was written smartly, if you see what I mean.

They'd probably say "smartly written". But of course that wasn't the original phrase. My point was solely that it's not strange to us.
Creating a new web account loads the tutorial page, but it's a little confusing at first how to add a node. Also, there are quite a few spelling and grammar errors on that page which will make an unfair negative impression. If you clean those up you will get more conversions.
Examples:
Note also in the last example how the bold markdown surrounds the whitespace. I highlighted this manually (and carelessly) but clicking on a word also selects trailing spaces. You should probably strip the whitespace.On the landing page 'Write Smartly' is correct English, but people rarely use the word this way - although it is technically correct it feels weird, and you don't want to create that feeling on a landing page. 'Write Smart' would be better.
Also, you wrote 'Law students - People who study for a long time that should not be forgotten'. I suggest 'Law students - People who need to study and retain knowledge for a long time.'
These are small language errors, but they would be very quickly noticed by your target audience.
Finally, the desktop sign-in with Google seems not to work - it opens a blank window and then closes again. Maybe it is just from server load right now.
Anyway I like it a lot and will consider using it regularly. I am more of a pencil-and-paper note person but this is one of the nicest digital notebooks I've found.
