I recently started using Obsidian after playing with several others. I think I'm going to stick with Obsidian as it has good number of people around on an active basis. Your product looks pretty fast and sharp but it is hard to trust browser-based workload for such a personal and subjective activity.

The note-taking market is very crowded. I think note-taking has already delivered its original slice bread. Pretty difficult to continue to reinvent the same and expect a different result. However, I do think, that going back to the basics of HTML (instead of continuing with the markdown) may break the ceiling a little further.

Any case. Good luck with your offering. It looks good and acts well.

Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say that HTML would break the ceiling a little further?

I feel that there's a lot of focus on markdown lately. Markdown is good. No issue there. But I feel we need to go back to html editing, so the modern day note taking apps can make more inroads into common usage.

Markdown compiles directly into HTML, or you can inline it with specific rendering rules if you want to get a little more complicated.
