Does it store images? Are you going to make a mobile app?

You can add the images inside markdown using existing image url. The image upload is not implemented yet. I've noted it & I'll work on this functionality

Thanks for showing interest in the mobile app. I'm working on the android app prototype. You will see the app on play store soon.

Why didn't you use react native? Your website is react which would have made it easy to copy over components.

I'm not a big fan of react-native. I've tried it earlier and the app size is huge as it has to bundle so many things to make it work on android. So I prefer java/kotlin for android app which is compact and performant than react-native.

BTW I'm also checking if https://fyne.io/ can be used. I'll love to use golang for the app :)
