App was everything I hoped for with a huge exception - if you start making notes and then switch to another app without going out of edit mode, those changes are lost. Very frustrating. Last straw was now I'm sometimes losing changes even if I exit edit mode. Unhappily going to look elsewhere. Latest version also makes the characters gray while editing, but then look normal when being viewed. I loved the markdown and export capability, but I'm done - lost too many notes I needed to keep.

Incredible app. I love that it works with git and Drive, and that I can use it and Obsidian on the same folder. GitLFS or OneDrive would make it my permanent go-to. Repos is an odd term here instead of Notebooks. The UI is a little strange. Many buttons are not quite where they probably should be. The plus button looks separate from the bottom bar of things to add (audio, task list, folder...), but it could be cleaned up by making them pop up only when you hit the plus button, like Google Drive.

Update: the dev said they would fix it, and they did. I have no complaints now. ----- Might be my fault; I'm not the strongest with git. But I can't figure out how to get the app to pull in remote changes. It just seems to delete them immediately in favor of preserving its local state. If I could figure out the github syncing this would be a pretty perfect app. But without the ability to sync it's just a markdown viewer/editor
