I was only expecting this to be good for organizing. But the overall experience of writing text is great. My dream operating system would actually include this as a stock app. To me this it's better than the almighty Microsoft Word in tons of different ways. It actually reminds me of when I used to use Wordperfect and Word and actually liked them, before I started using plaintext editors instead. There's a whole philosophy behind this that's just incredible and VERY needed in today's computer world.
Below, I have attached light and dark "gruvbox" themes. The default black theme is a bit too high contrast for my tastes. The light one turned out basically identical to theme 2 lol, but maybe it will just right for somebody out there.
The only two suggestions I have for what would make this THE perfect journaling program for me:
1. To be able to set the default font size in the config. It's just a teensy tiny bit small for my eyes sometimes. But it's actually fine, it would just be nice.
2. Autosave after 5-10 seconds of inactivity. I lost yesterday's entry because I never minimize windows. I just open more stuff in front of them, so it never triggered the save. I ended up not being able to get back to it, and when the date rolled over it was gone.
Those are two things I can totally live without though, this is otherwise one of the most perfect programs I have on my computer right now.
