FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why should I write my notes in Markdown?
A: Markdown is a widely popular open format with support in many applications. By choosing Markdown you can be confident if you decide to switch to a different application you can easily move all of your data without any conversion needed. Also, Markdown is incredibly easy to understand even in raw view as it's just plain text content with human-readable syntax. Last but not least, Markdown helps you to keep all of your notes in a uniform format, with no more mismatches in font size, font face, etc. when you import data from different sources.

A: You will get a lot of things for free:
• Unlimited version history, and information on when and who did what changes
• Ability to share notebooks with others, you can add anyone as a collaborator or viewer to your Git repository
• Easy self-hosting with plenty open open-source options, so notes will truly belong to you
• Better merge conflict resolution compared to traditional cloud-based file storage solutions
• Ability to create public websites/blogs from your notebooks

Ratings and reviews

A great notes app for managing markdown, with the extra benefit of syncing with git to a variety of providers. This makes me happy as I'm controlling my data, all while having the convenience of multiple ways of getting to my docs - online and offline.

1. search is very slow (almost unusable) in file system mode 2. notes list resets to top every time I open some note 3. app is very laggy 4. can't zoom images

Super nice app! It just works. (I haven’t used the editor much yet, but the sync is wonderful - even with conflicts.) It’s exactly the app I had been looking for for a while, and I couldn’t find it anywhere. In one version, the app had some GUI issues on my phone. I reported them to the developer, and within a day he replied and fixed the problem. Maybe an easy guide on how to add your GitHub repo with just one repository instead of full access could be great!

Faster and more reliable notebooks in local folders:

• Feature: File System notebook provider for macOS, iOS and visionOS — connect any folder and keep your notebooks in it. On macOS this includes folders synced by Google Drive for desktop, Dropbox or OneDrive
• Feature: Connect multiple root folders to the File System provider (all platforms) — pick the folder per notebook in the add dialog, and the notebooks list shows which folder each notebook belongs to
