Wow. Very detailed feedback and very helpful as well.
About storage: since the app is electron based, it stores everything in IndexedDB. I didn't want to use something separate because it'll add extra stress. However, your point about mentioning where things are getting stored is important. I'll make those changes ASAP.
> Ideally the note taking system would have open and documented format.
It's really just HTML. It's not stored in local files but the content of notes is actually just plain, normal HTML.
> When importing a .md document, the first line "# heading" was set to be paragraph type.
Hmm. That's probably because I turned of H1 since there's already a title at the top. Should the title be separate?

This can be annoying. It has been on my backlog to fix this and make it less annoying but I haven't gotten to it so far.
> It would be much cleaner cut if only syncing service is paid.
I took the opposite route with Notesnook. App functionality is limited but you get unlimited syncing to unlimited devices.
> In general I would love to be able to restrict formatting UI to just markdown features. I don't want to accidentally change font size or mess with text alignment. All included options for text formatting are just noise to me and I prefer simplicity in note taking.
Or in other words, a way to hide the toolbar. I noted it down for later.
Thank you so much for taking the time to point all these small things out. Means a lot.

For note taking app allowing only single title makes a lot of sense. The note title came from the file name, and my H1 got demoted to Paragraph with larger text. Since md can have any number of H1's, it doesn't seem possible to convert it without loss of information. One option would be to detect if there is only one H1 and use that instead of file name for note title. If there is more than one, then convert all H1 -> H2, all H2 -> H3 and so on.
- thecodrr 5y agoThat sounds like a reasonable trade off.
