Finally! But need tons of improvements. - Allow to open multiple files at once (like in a browser) and allow sideways swipe to slide navigation. - Why not make the sidebar entry interesting. Please make sidebar appearance on swipe similar to that of Discord Android Mobile App. - Jump to editor on pressing enter key ...

Literally the perfect note taking app, but would be better if open source, that way it would truly and forever be the best note and knowledge base app out there!
