Yep, just imported the entire text of Moby Dick (1.2 MB of markdown text) into an AnyType note, and barely slowed it down at all. The search function is also able to spot all 85 instances of “Moby” in the text (checked against my favourite Mac text editor, CotEditor, which doesn’t allow something as tiny and feeble as Moby Dick to slow it down, no sirree!)

Just for fun, I also changed a number of paragraphs in Moby Dick into an outline. Still pretty darn quick, although there is a very, very slight delay in folding/unfolding.

I’m impressed!

P.S. The only thing that makes me sad is that AnyType doesn’t appear to support smart punctuation yet (i.e. nice, curly apostrophes/quotation marks). But I may be wrong on that – I’ll have to check the settings.
