Love it. I don't know if its any better than Byword, iA Writer, Mou or Notational Velocity (Still my absolute favorite). But I do like the interface and reminders feature. When I write, I like to keep my fingers on the keyboard so it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for displaying the note's details instead of clicking on the top right of the app. Also, how about an alternative dark interface for those of us…

No one compare it with Evernote on Mac or the built-in notes? I made a few dark themes actually, but dark color doesn't match the default popoever color.

My problem with both of those apps is the slow startup time. Notes.app startup is annoyingly slow when iCloud is enabled and there's a large number of notes. Evernote doesn't truly feel minimalist either. There's certainly a lot more chrome.

I stared at the landing page for a few seconds, waiting for it to do something. Then, I clicked around furiously trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. Then I accidentally scrolled down and found the content. The landing page is a little confusing...

Probably because of bad network connection, try reload it.

It's because I can't see any content. My viewport is arguably smaller than most since I don't auto-hide my dock...

Here is what I see: http://i.imgur.com/HeProLG.png
