Do you think Notes is as good as it could be, in terms of the marriage of aesthetics and function?
My app presents just an alternative, its free, and there are screenshots on the app store. It is my response to my own criticisms of Apple. You can decide for yourself if you think I have achieved any goals. There is a website for the app if you are android.
But, my bigger frustration with Apple remains, that it no longer seems to prioritise the miraculous simplicity that obsessive and meticulous design can bring. It has become, as I said in a previous reply, the WhatsApp of the computer world. Play it safe. Don't upset ANYONE apart from shareholders who "know" what works.
