Some users have suggested similar things on the Gingko forum. It points to a dilemma for the developers I think: whether to maintain Gingko primarily as an outliner and writing tool or to turn it into an Evernote competitor (basically a Zettelkasten type of index card notes database).

I’m in two minds about that. I love the current simplicity of Gingko and its focus on outlining and writing. But I’m also curious whether it could work as a notes database. But I wouldn’t want to lose the former for the latter.
