They do have a fully functional demo linked, so maybe that counts for something? https://demo.usememos.com/

Does it require a registered account? Not great.

It does not. Shows the logged-out experience and prefills a demo user when you select 'Sign In'. Simple click shows that. Which is a great way to demonstrate each side of the software.

You're describing something that contrasts with my own experience.
When I open the link I get the 'Sign In' pane, but when I click on the sign in button I get an error message complaining about "incorrect login credentials, please try again".
Not great, not usable.

It's full of open source projects from China that do this star astroturfing thing. The projects themselves are legit, but they like to signal this strength even when they are all pretty new. If you want some evidence, check some of the stuff I've submitted to HN (not the developer or anything related, but you can find pretty new projects in the note-taking or AI realm, and they all share that pattern)
I'll pass for now. I get the feeling this is a fairly competent web-based project but with the intent of gaming GitHub in order to bolster someone's resume. That's just how it looks to me. If the creator(s) is reading this, please consider adding real documentation so the legitimacy of your software is obvious.
