- on non-supported browsers (eg. mobile) don't render the app, show a message instead
- Shift + Home/End for selecting text doesn't work
- Ctrl + N for a new page doesn't work
- things like the above ^, while it may be trivial, will turn off people who will not spend more than 10-20s to evaluate
- you're refer the simplicity of text files, but the editor is not fixed width, it's more like a Markdown-ish editor, closer to Google Docs with its default styles
- when typing - it creates a list, but the list's left margin (where the - starts) is not aligned on the overall left margin of the page, it's very annoying to me
- to me, this is too far away from the simplicity of a text file — this comment, I'm writing it up in Sublime in plain text, and then I'll copy it to Chrome/HN, but I wouldn't do it in your tool — I love being able to Alt-Tab to Sublime, hit Ctrl+N to get a new "file" which is a temporary/ephemeral workspace for typing text, typing and getting sasisfying fixed-width readable text, and then copy/pasting it to my destination, which almost always has a less pleasant editor
- eg. I also write my non-trivial ChatGPT conversations like that ^
- one of the few exceptions is Google Docs, I can directly work into that
- the reason I ended on Google Docs: after a few minutes of playing around, it's not clear to me how using your product would be significantly better for me than using Google Docs for notes (which I don't) — I can use GDocs to write roughly Markdown-equivalent structure, and there's plugins to import/export Markdown — and GDocs is backed by Google, has a working editor, apps, multi-user support, commenting, Google ecosystem integration, etc.

One thing that's weird is that things like that are so easy for me to implement it's just sugar on top. Honestly I would just love to have a few folks tinkering with it saying hey it needs these few things. Just hard for one dev to think of all the things!
