Oh, this app is now stable and installs on all my computers. I like that.
But here I am missing a few things:
checkboxes for ToDo-lists;
inheritance of item in the list, when you press enter and move to the next line;
combine the preview (which is now in the 2nd window) with the visual editor (instead of only one preview) (as in Zim);
at the entrance - the editable window of notepads selection (as in Zim).

Positives: (1) Free and Open Source as declared. (2) Available for Linux, too.
Negatives: (1) Dev is Russian - nothing wrong with that. But an English only reader like me couldn't find any 'About Us' regarding the dev.
Now, although I am a Linux user since donkey's years, I am just a user and not a dev myself so I can't vet the open-sourced code. And statistically too many bad actors have sullied the reputation of Russian devs, sadly.
(2) Linux is only supported through Snap and Flatpak. No native installers like .deb or .rpm or .yml -- Dev expects those who need that to compile their own installers from source.
(3) This software is the work of a single dev working as a side project. He himself mentions certain unfinished features and declares that though he is aware of those, there is no timeline to complete them. Not very trust-evoking, I'm afraid.
Verdict: Go for it if you're a dev yourself; or you like to evaluate many products in like categories. This software isn't ready for daily use unless you are ready to don the hardhat and pick the spanner yourself.
Extremely powerful application! Installed this in Debian, and it blows Cherrytree out of water! It has everything, plus HTML preview, tabbed interface, tags and more!
Dont very much like it, because it does not have WYSIWYG editor and does not store all in one file, but in one folder.
