I like the idea and the presentation, But the reality is far behind what they said. They said it to be fast, but the app isn't polished, always lags, the font is weird by default and the app icons to design isn't as good as it is shown in their website or screenshot.
The app lacks the aesthetic, professional icons, the satisfying width between the Icons, Folder, and pages.
To be more technical, They use tauri which uses native web view to show the frontend, this can be the reason. ...

Overall, the app is still in progress, we need to wait for another year, hope that this project won't die.
Hey i really like the review of the app i really appreciate it. The release we had before were a beta testing (MVP) of the app now we are launching its Proper release 1.3.5 it would be released in 1-2 days depending on the apple approval of the app but it has lots of new features and bug fixes and we also switched to lucide icons for good icons and i agree the app is a bit slow but its still in progress so we will find efficient way to fix that thank you so much
