Anyone trying out Kortex?

Thanks for your take, Dormouse. From other topic posts in this forum, it seems that many other well-known apps are making it easier to work with long-form writing. Each app has its own philosophy for writing. This shows up in the features and layout. I am sure this momentum will continue. My additional request/need is to have integration between research-based apps, like Zotero, or a way to store research source material.

PS. Almost daily, I am getting marketing emails from Kortex for courses I am not interested in. This is a major turnoff for me as I signed up to use an app, not a writing/marketing course. Very mixed messages. :(
