Thx for the response.

The 10k words is a good metric I will definitely keep in mind.

My use case is for coding notes. I have a bunch of notes in Bear that I’m migrating because there is no easy way to organize them hierarchically in Bear (summary notes w/ links got clumsy). Only thing I miss so far is the syntax highlighting.

Also am going to try doing my next writing project in Gingko. I often do a lot of writing in iThoughtsX(Ive stuck with it because it killed my writers block), but Gingko seems like a much better fit for actual writing projects and how I write.
