Yes, I was fascinated to discover that the MacStories crew (of whom Federico and John are two) have moved over to Craft so rapidly.

I wouldn’t rush to follow them because they have a long history of jumping from app to app on a yearly basis for both notes and reminders. And their priorities tend towards robustness in the iOS space and collaboration, neither of which is a typical user’s prime concern. The podcast was useful in putting into context both the way the app works and how quickly it’s scaled with its relatively recent introduction of backlinks.
If one were interested solely in an alternative to Curio I’d recommend taking a look at the app, but the addition of backlinks could make it compelling for a lot of people.
I still have qualms about writing in a text box so I’m not sure the app is right for me.

Craft do, however, have one of the most elegant product demonstrations I’ve ever seen, that’s also a useful guide to the art of programming in Apple’s Catalyst:

It’s enough to make you subscribe straight away! ;-)

As I investigate Craft a bit more closely, I’m also impressed at the pace of development. All sorts of nice things introduced in the latest update.
And already you can open documents in multiple windows (on macOS). Take that, Agenda!
I’ve taken out a temporary (monthly) subscription. I know, I know, CRIMPing…
