Experimented a few more minutes, and I have a few suggestions I think I'd like to see implemented:

-- Allow regular expression search. -- Click outside the note to save. (Autosave every N seconds would be nice as well.) -- Customizable CSS. (Yes, I can do this with a local build.) -- Collapse/expand (sub)headings.

I'll give it more of a test drive over the next few days.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Regular expression search would be cool. I was thinking to add a few color themes. But custom CSS to be honest I don't think would work well. In my experience CSS is a little fiddly especially given that the css includes some hacks to get safari on ios working properly which was a big pain.

Auto save is already done, nothing you type is every lost. It's saved immediately (and synced every few seconds).

There is a collapse/expand feature but not for subheadings. If you put --- at the beginning of a line followed by a blank line it'll collapse everything after that, as shown in the demo note.

  • Fair enough on the CSS, and I didn't realize autosave is already done, thanks!

    I did see the '---' collapsible and that helps but only if you have one section you want to collapse. I'm perhaps more visually-oriented than most, and being able to hide extraneous material helps me focus.

    • Makes sense. Perhaps there could be an option in the menu to set the default expansion level:

      - level 1: collapse all H1 sections

      - level 2: collapse all H2 sections

      - ...

      Basically like org-mode's cycle feature with the tab key. And then clicking on a headline will expand it.
