User reviews
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.

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!
It's just amazing. No more words are needed.
Great, light and perfect app for future proof notes, memory palace and second brain.
