Don't want to see the full address of an internal link when accessing one note from another - I just want to see an underlined hyperlink name. Also, clicking on the internal link has no effect in itself, it can only be accessed by clicking on the text icon on the toolbar. In my case, clicking on the text icon momentarily opens the referenced note with a blue background, but it immediately closes, depositing me back to the list of notes. Something's going wrong. Also,why no spell check in Linux?

Would be fantastic if not for the catastrophic sync bugs. If it thinks there's a note version conflict (which is not always the case), it will refuse to sync, or even worse - try to sew one version from two, turning your text into mush. Until the bug is fixed, using this (lightweight, good-looking and free) app for serious work is suicide.

I'm looking for a lightweight note-taking app that will support Linux, as well. Using it less than a month on Win, Linux, Android devices and it's nice! But few improvements will suggest: 1. Would like to be able to choose a background for notes. 2. Passcode/fingerprint protects not the whole app but chossen notes. 3. Possibilities to hide some notes from the list and unhide by passcode/fingerprint. The rest looks cool, thanks devs!

Thank you for your feedback on this! I've gone ahead and forwarded these suggestions along to our developers. I can't offer an estimated timeframe, but hopefully they will be considered soon.
