Thank you! I am long time obsidian user looking for something that will work decently on Android and this looks promising.

I only really struggle with one basic feature - I want to be able to write note within 1-2 seconds of clicking the app icon. Obsidian makes it 10-15 seconds at best. The HelixNotes sometimes can get this in under 10, still looking for better options.

I'm having the same issue with Standard Notes. It's almost 30 seconds now and becoming an issue, especially with Android's aggressive memory freeing. It wasn't so bad early on but it gets worse as notes accumulate.
