I haven't yet found any privacy focused note-taking app that doesn't use Electron. It's a shame.

Didn't even have to check. I just assumed it was Electron at first sight. That's just how software is these days.

And some wonder why so many people are still using Emacs or Apple Notes to take notes. Even the most minimal input lag and stuttering gets me out of my writing mood. Electron is the gaming equivalent of playing at 30 FPS with motion blur.

Slower startup, worse responsiveness, higher CPU and RAM usage, could hog CPU even at idle.

imho:

- Heavy and slow (Use a lot of RAM and CPU, laptop definitely won't be happy)

- Large installation size (about 120Mb)

- Security problems
