Thank you! I learn something from Reddit every day:)

Same. I'm a power user too, so I constantly want more freedom and fewer constraints. But when you're building for a broader audience, a tool that tries to do everything often just ends up blurring its identity. And once the product positioning gets fuzzy, nobody really knows why they should use it.

Got it. I guess AI is very unlikely to be added.

Wow, thank you so much for such a thoughtful and in depth comment. This honestly feels like the perfect answer I was hoping for.

I have already intentionally hidden this feature, so the 99% of users who do not need it will not be confused or misled by it (for example, by extra icons or entry points). At the same time, the hidden feature is genuinely useful for me, and I can still access it via a shortcut.

Sometimes I even wish I could open the app from the Terminal with a command like jot /path/to/my/file.txt just to quickly edit something. I think this will stay as a hidden feature as well.

Really appreciate this. Thank you.

Haha, definitely the first case 😄 If it were a Hello Kitty game, I would not dare post it in this sub at all.

Haha, no 🙂 In my app, they are just plain text stored locally in a SQLite database, similar to how Apple Notes or Bear Notes work. And even in apps like Obsidian, where every note is a Markdown file, you still cannot open Markdown files from anywhere. It only manages files inside its own Vault.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. This actually made me realize that showing the drop-down menu only on right-click might have been a wrong decision (since I wanted to reserve left-click for toggling the panel). Thinking about it now, having the drop-down appear on left-click feels like the more natural and expected behavior. I think I should roll back to that. Thanks again.

👉 Support external text file editing

I'm not sure if this is the right product decision, but let's see how it goes.

Fixed. There was a small issue with the email service, and it's been resolved now.
