It is clunky, and lacks in features. Hard to work.

Good app, but web-based (Electron) UI and adds weird blocks to markdown files it edits
It's nice and clean, and works without glitches.
However, it's proprietary unlike open-source markdown note-taking apps which do the same thing, like Zim-Wiki and others, and lacks many plugins like Obsidian.
It's also electron-based like Obsidian, meaning it almost always uses more resources than similar apps.
So there isn't much point in using it.

I absolutely love this app, I practically live inside of it. A few things to know: (1) You must get the beta edition: it's 2 light-years ahead in development compared to the 1.84 version on webpage. https://github.com/notable/notable-insiders/releases The developer is incredibly responsive (I've suggested features that he's released hours later!) but also a bit of a design freak and a perfectionist who does not want to release with fanfare until he feels it's ready. But this app kills.
(2) clean intelligent design minimalism on the surface but extremely powerful under the hood.
(3) There's a command scripting language with 700 commands, very much like vscode. That means you can remap any shortcut and do things that other apps can only do via plugins.
(3) other cool features: drag and drop tagging; multi-note batch edit mode; great code-formatting, katex support, many options for text based diagrams; powerful boolean search and tag filters; export/import to many formats; quickly switch between collections of notes; multi-window support, multiple and persistent tabs; absolutely customizable via simple scripting language, CSS, javascript. Soon to come plugins.
This is the vscode of markdown editors in terms of power (but designed to be a much more pleasant to use). Love this app.
Simple but powerful
I started using it as an alternative to CherryTree. If you like Markdown then this is notepad for you. Project is actively developed, everything works fine and it is easy to sync notes using eg. Google Drive or like in my case personal NAS (Synology).
A brill little piece of software. Just what I was looking for!
It takes a while to get used to, and it can be a bit frustrating at times, especially if you don't know Markdown very well. Thankfully there is a little cheat sheet in the menus!
There are some things that are a bit annoying, like no mobile apps or syncing, but the developers are promising this, so hopefully it will get even better!
