I understand the emphasis on getting users to sign up, but I wanted to read more to see where this might fit into my workflow.

- Does it support markdown?

- Can I export my notes?

- Are there any to-do list features?

Hey, great questions: - We do support markdown as you're typing (they're turned into the appropriate element as you type). Currently, pasting markdown has some bugs, but we definitely intend to fix those soon. - Right now, you export a single note as a PDF. I figure you're asking, "can I export all my notes and take them with me". The answer to that is currently no, but we fully intend to support that. And if you need that in the meantime, we'll definitely do a one-time export for you. - Yes, you can create checkboxes in markdown, and we also have simple checklists ala Google Keep as objects. However, we don't have complex todo features such as due dates, assignees, dependencies, etc.

Thank you for following up. I like the product. The UX is very nice and the workflow adds alot of value for me.

Definitely going to test it out.

2 things

1. On windows, your app is getting caught by SmartScreen. I imagine this will fix itself, but fyi.

2. How do I report bugs?

Thanks, very nice to hear =). Looking forward to your feedback!

1. Thanks for letting us know! I'll definitely look into that to see if we can submit to Microsoft. 2. On the bottom right of the app, there's a support button that opens a menu. Click Share Feedback and send us a message there. Thanks!

Is there a way to export the whole kit and kaboodle as a set of markdown files?

Yeah that should actually be the easiest to do for us.

I would definitely second export (and somehow import) from markdown

If you guys implement that, I’d certainly be in. That’s my only hurdle for dropping a few bucks to try something new.

- How do I put math into it?

Currently, you can't, but great suggestion! My background is in Machine Learning and I'd love to have that myself. What would be your preferred way to get math notation into notes? What do you think about a LaTeX formula inserter like http://mathquill.com/

My personal favorite math-input-system is Mathematica, which has sane keyboard shortcuts and WYSIWYG typesetting.
