I like the UI. Wish it supported markdown, but I'm not really a blogger/writer so my opinion prob doesn't matter :)

Not bad. I like some things, don't like others, but this is not important. What is important (beware, pessimistic comments):

1. Too slow. Too many server-side steps with slow page reload for an app that should be simple. Perhaps you should do more on the client without reloading, or get a better server code. Write it in a compiled/faster language.

2. I don't believe the world needs another note-taking app.

Very clean! If you don't mind sharing, what's the tech stack?

Thanks! The product was built in PHP with a lot of JS/jQuery for the frontend :)

If we had to stop doing something every single time someone thought the world didn't need it, we wouldn't be doing much.

Beautiful UI! I created a post in a few seconds, how does it stop someone else from editing that post?
