@jsamlarose: FYI, I noticed that if you create a new account now, it automatically includes a tutorial notebook.

@Luhmann, yes, I encountered the same bug with tasks on iOS that requires restarting the app. The web version has been updated, but presumably the mobile update needs to get through the approval process.

Thanks, all, for the interesting thoughts!

Also note, there’s a great thread over at Product Hunt where the Zenkit CEO appears to be answering all questions:

Brief overview of Hypernotes:

For a new app it offers a lot, with a lot of polish, leveraging the feature-set of ZenKit’s other products. Hypernotes by itself is the same (high) price as Dynalist, though it offers near-parity Dynalist while also offering additional useful features like bi-directional links and graph. Still not sold on the $96/year price point, for either app.

It’s clear from the collaboration features and optional chat module that the focus is on business users, which is a bit of a shame. I think the single-user pricing can be a stumbling block. If they bundled in their Wunderlist To-Do clone at the same price for single users I could see this being more compelling. (Besides, their $48/year to-do product isn’t by itself irresistible in the face of established products that cost less and offer additional features like two-way calendar sync and kanban, the latter of which is only available if one also subscribes to the add-on $9/month ‘Base’ product.)

While I agree with most of what you’re saying re Hypernote and Dynalist, I do need to point out that Dynalist does have bi-directional linking. They just do a poor job of promoting it.
