I’ve had a look. Fundamentally a very nice design; will be even better when the whiteboard is there too. I found the keyboard response very jerky, and couldn’t see a setting to have the cards in a typical card view rather than a single column. @links rather than [[wikilinks]].

Has the advantage of being all in one, but doesn’t have the features or (first impression) usability of my current Word, Mindomo, OneNote combo. Would integrate with Tangent/Obsidian quite well though since it’s easy to drag markdown notes in. No first line indent for paragraphs either.
