Full disclosure, I created it! I made it because there was nothing comparable on the market. Cross-platform, plain text with a powerful markdown editor. I've since added a rich text editor, web clipper and a workflowy style outline note type. I'm also planning on adding git support soon.
I'm a pretty big fan of taking notes with pen & paper then setting time aside to transcribe them to a markdown file and saving them in a GitHub repo. The pen & paper part means I don't have to lug my laptop around so often - I try not to use meeting times to actually do things anyways. I figure if a handful of people are in a room together it's best to focus on the reason we're all in one place and pen/paper lets me…

But notes? NOTES? Grocery lists? Who makes grocery lists and needs to sync them everywhere?
Go live on a farm for a while or something. Uh, it's cheese of some kind, milk of some kind, coffee of some kind, produce, fish, meat, and avoid the candy and canned item aisles. There's your grocery list.
Do you same folks have list about what order to put on your clothes each day? (Don't answer that).
