Needs a few things, nice potential

What I very much like is the workflow. From writing on cards on the right side, to putting cards into a list of articles on the left side.
1. When cards are lined up on the left side, it does not seem possible to "demote" an article into a subordinate card in the heirarchy. Maybe there is a way to do it, but I would expect to be able to do it from a right click or from a drag and drop. I think maybe what i have to do is label an article as an @ link to make it into a card linked to an article. but that seems a lot of work to go to. also it is not clear to me yet how to do that. so at this point i am not using the two-level hiearchy feature--just making a list of articles.

2. when writing cards, spell check indicates incorrect spelling but the feature of suggesting an alternative is either absent (within the ap) or blocked from the MacOS. So I see what a bad speller I am, but then I have to go on the net to find the correct spelling. Yikes.

3. I cannot seem to paste text into a card I am writing in except by going all the way up to the edit menu. I can copy, cut, delete with a right click, but cannot paste by right click, even when I have text in the clipboard. strange.

Needs improvement

Honestly, i want to preface what i am about to say with the hope you realize that you are truly on to something BIG here. This application is in desparate need of improvements because it is so clearly a potential game changer if it could just be enhanced to the level of performance it so obviously should be functioning at. The editing features are kind of a nightmare as it's practically impossible to edit just one bit of text without it re-formatting the entire page even if you only select a portion of text i found 8/10 times it would just change the whole body of txt. Which is why the undo/redo buttons need fixing because they don't even serve their intended purpose honestly if something changed and i wanted to simply revert to the previous it wouldn't even acknowledge what the format was before i changed it. Either doing nothing at all when hitting undo or literally undoing all of my work to its original form and the same with redo. This goes on and on with almost every feature which is why IT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. This app can really be a gamechanger and top the charts if you could just bring it up to the level it's obviously capable of functioning at. Keep at it hope to see updates in the future

Almost There

I actually really enjoyed using this to organize a long document. It is a wonderful idea and unlike anything else i've seen.

There are some small buggy things that need to be addressed, like when you move sections around with drag and drop sometimes they dont go where you put them. This is problem for someone trying to organize a long document but probably not for the average user.

I hope the developer continues working on this. I would pay for this app if these little things are worked out.
