It is mostly that if that app is going to pretend to be a wiki, I kinda like it to be a wiki. Otherwise there are several apps on iOS that already support linking to text notes by name.

At least on iOS I cannot locate the folder it is storing the plain-text document in so I wondered if it was using an iCloud storage container (which is SQLite backed and not necessarily easy to access though it is not impossible if you know you way around such things.) Perhaps the Mac version makes it more obvious. (For example NotePlan on iOS exposes a folder under iCloud Drive in which I can access all the text notes and such… this app, at least for me, is not working that way.)

Ah, interesting about Hypertexts’s iCloud storage. I’ll check it out (haven’t had time yet). But another irritating shortcoming has made itself apparent - the “search” function only searches file names, not file content. This, in a text-based app, is a serious flaw and makes it pretty much useless for any serious work. Especially when - no tags.
Grrrr. Maybe I’ll contact the developer.

With Noteniks, I’ve not had the instability issues mentioned by Paul, but have discovered that the various fields are more or less useless for filtering purposes. The app doesn’t appear to use them or even index them, apart from certain base fields (Seq, Date, Title, Tags). I assume the developer is giving himself plenty of room for further development work. Otherwise, what’s the point?
Apart from that, it’s quite a nice app, but it’s not in danger of taking over my life anytime soon…
Unlike NotePlan, which simply gets better and better!

Just saw the developer introduced html mirroring and opml export
