Just started notes a couples weeks ago. Fantastic - disappointed I missed this for so long. Agree preview is great for what it is. Probably should go back to safari instead of chrome.

Notes is great. One time I was like "it'd be nice to put a PDF in this note. LOL, bet that won't work" but no, of course it did, embedded it exactly like I'd hoped it would. Drag & drop, there it is, can view it inline.

The two things that bug me: no markdown support, and no built-in export (but the format's simple and well known and there are existing 3rd party tools that can do it). Everything else is so good and so stable that I've been hesitant to go looking for something else to try to fill in those two features. I can live with a formatting bar and export being a little annoying if everything else is basically perfect.
