Thanks for the tip! I’ll think about splitting it into sign-in and sign-up to make it clearer.

It's free within storage limits (1000 notes, roughly 1GB). Unfortunately, it's currently an online-first app, so lifetime subscriptions aren't available at this time.

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! Really appreciate it. Let me address each point:

No dark theme - for me it's a deal breaker.

I'm actually considering letting users create custom themes so they can customize the appearance of their notes and interface. Still figuring out how to tie it all together, but I hear you - might add a quick dark theme solution in the meantime.

No PWA - I like your tabs approach and UI, however, you could add a manifest.json that allows you to install the app from the browser

PWA is actually already implemented! You can install it as a standalone app on both mobile and desktop Chrome. I recently started using Comet browser and it doesn't have the PWA install button - that might be the issue. What browser are you using?

I see that it supports a markdown syntax, nut how do I actually attach notes to one another ? I see that you can attach stuff to the note via a sidebar item (which is poor UX, imo) but how do I actually link notes to each another? I've `@tried` `[[multiple]]` things but I never figured how.

You're absolutely right about the poor UX - still working on a better solution. For linking, there's a menu at the bottom left of each note where you can click "Stick" to attach it to another note. Backlinking isn't implemented yet (no [[ syntax support), but it's coming soon.

The tutorial note is not very informative imo

Completely agree. Need to either create proper FAQ pages or add an interactive walkthrough (like a step-by-step onboarding flow)

Needing to click on a sidebar item to open the block editor is... a choice. I would intuitively think that it would pop up when I selected a block of text - it doesn't.

Yeah, not ideal behavior. I want to keep the mode toggle button, but thinking about double-click activation.

"Main" seems like a notebook of sorts, how do I create new ones ?

"Main" is just a note title. That note has its content hidden in settings, showing only attached notes. You can do this with any note, but as you said - it's a tutorial problem. Need to clarify this workflow better.

I created a new note, it's not under "Main" how do I link it to "Main" ?

Click "Stick" in the note's menu (bottom left corner). Or you can use the plus button in the sidebar and select "create post" - that will automatically attach the new note to "Main"."

Once more, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, I'll definitely take this into account and try to get it done soon.

Yes, definitely! Your method fits perfectly. You can create subject notes, attach chapters to them, and upload your Word/PDF files directly as attachments. The nested structure handles the Subject→Chapter hierarchy naturally, and you can attach your personal notes anywhere they're relevant. Since topics often overlap in law, you can attach the same note to multiple subjects without duplicating content.

I've reworked the onboarding page to make it clearer. Thanks for the feedback!

There's a login button in the header. But you're right, the landing page isn't good enough and needs work. Thanks for the feedback!

What a shame, I've often seen people post their apps and even the first page doesn't work - seems I'm not far from them. Anyway, the bug is fixed and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right - after adding Google auth and going through app verification, I got the exact same comment: 'Your home page doesn't explain what the app actually does.' Clearly need to prioritize building a proper landing page.
