I’ve had a look. Fundamentally a very nice design; will be even better when the whiteboard is there too. I found the keyboard response very jerky, and couldn’t see a setting to have the cards in a typical card view rather than a single column. @links rather than [[wikilinks]].
Has the advantage of being all in one, but doesn’t have the features or (first impression) usability of my current Word, Mindomo, OneNote combo. Would integrate with Tangent/Obsidian quite well though since it’s easy to drag markdown notes in. No first line indent for paragraphs either.

I’d agree that Lattics takes a slightly tangential approach to writing, but I do like the total integration and the developers’ enthusiasm.
The most disconcerting thing for me is that it really isn’t obvious where the actual files are stored. You can export them, of course, but I like to know where the actual repository is!

On Windows I’ve been assuming it’s in AppData, but I’ve not checked.
