more it lags when i use markdown formatting for quotes.* worried it’ll lag or typing as well. but otherwise i really like this app. love the “look back” function and also the word tracker widget!*Update: It lags a lot when entries are long. I can be typing 2-3 words ahead of it appearing on the entry.
