There seems to be some UI slowdown on my machine too, whereas Quiver doesn't seem to suffer from that at all, and I have like 200+ note files in my Quiver repository!

I must give Boostnote a try. On the face of it, I would think an engineering notebook, to be used daily for large amounts of stuff, would be a paradigmatic case for a native app like Quiver rather than electron. But then there's Atom & vscode so maybe not? And I'm a bit uncomfortable with Boostnote's copyright transfer for pull requests (https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/blob/master/contributin...). But then again, I pay little attention to copyright matters so perhaps just haven't noticed if this is common in open source. And it's clearly nevertheless more open than Quiver.

I have a $700 computer in my pocket and the best way to write a grocery list is on a post-it found in the kitchen drawer.

I think it comes down to the human interface of a touch screen being slow, frustrating, and generally inefficient.

Useful for taking notes wither portrait (in meetings) or landscape (in front of a computer). Also graph paper obviously helps with sketches and dividing up the page on the fly.

I do use notes.app, evernote for complex writing stuff though.
