#3This looks perfect. I’d like to be able to keep a notebook like this stuffed full of tiny opinions, software research, and project plans. Most notes tools are either too simple, or limit me to writing using their tool. This looks like a perfect solution, with really cool refactoring tools to boot!

#4One of the things I like about wikis is the concept of backlinks [1]. I currently use TW5 (TiddlyWiki) for my 700+ notes and I always find something that I have written but have forgotten ever writing those down. From the screenshoots it appears like MindForger has this feature and I am glad they chose to implement it. Very few note taking software seem to implement it these days. The ability to see the relationship of existing notes is revelatory. I will be watching this one to see how they progress. Hope they will release a Windows version too.

But a bit odd that running it on Windows requires WSL + an X server. It's built with Qt, should be easy enough to make cross-platform.

#6On one hand, it's so nice to have a proper IDE support for markdown and mathjax. But on the other hand, since when Markdown become so complicated that it needs a fully featured IDE?

In practice, back linking or otherwise connecting notes in some relational manner is the difference between a knowledge base and just a stack of notes.

Indeed, I started using Markdown because it was simple and minimalist and could quickly edit it in vim. In recent years it seems like a lot of complexity is being added to it.

Since people want the power of an Office-Suite in plaintext, without using an actual Office-Suit.

I don't get how does backlinks help here.
