Why did you build something different? What was the motivation compared to Bear?

I'm a heavy Bear user, recently migrating most stuff to Drafts. My problems with Bear is that it's getting slow and I don't have easy direct access to my text data. But it does have apps for all devices and drag&drop images are really useful for lab/electronics work…

For me the main issue with Bear is that it does not work with a directory of Markdown files, but locks them away in a database. If you worked directly on markdown files it would be nearly perfect. They did make a standalone markdown editor called Panda, but didn't pursue it for some reason.
