Did you try v1.8.4 or one of the alphas of v1.9? (https://github.com/notable/notable-experimental/releases https://github.com/notable/notable-experimental/releases) In either case can you provide some steps that would help me reproduce the slowness you experienced? And you should blame that entirely on me, Electron doesn't really have much to do with this.

It would've been v1.8.4. Machine is 2020 MBP 13" i7 32gb. Drag the window and you'll see white flash on the background. This complaint is pedantic for sure, just as a note. I was having issues with dragging the separators before but these don't seem to be reproducible currently, so perhaps it was specific to my machine. Another note is that typing in Notable pushes my CPU to about 10%+ usage. It doesn't do this with Notes. Also the smoothness of typing in native Notes vs this app is quite apparently, everything seems more fluid on the native app (it seems like Notable is, at times, struggling to keep up with rendering). Again I'll note I'm very pedantic about the native feel of apps and I very much dislike electron / non-native type apps, so take my criticisms with appropriate amounts of salt. Nice job on the app!

I was having issues with dragging the separators before but these don't seem to be reproducible currently, so perhaps it was specific to my machine. I'm on a 2014 MBP and I can indeed reproduce this issue with the last version of the app, that indeed is one of the few things Electron makes harder on the developer to remove, but I think there might be ways to fix that, I'll look into it. > Another note is that typing in Notable pushes my CPU to about 10%+ usage. That might be harder to fix, although on my 6yo machine I can see similar numbers when writing inside Notes as well, maybe they fixed it in Catalina or Big Sur. I can't really see any difference in smoothness, are you using an external high refresh rate display perhaps? > Again I'll note I'm very pedantic about the native feel of apps and I very much dislike electron / non-native type apps, so take my criticisms with appropriate amounts of salt. Nice job on the app! I know how some people have almost an ideological stance on this, don't worry about it.
