Not very impressed with this, because:

- Rendering of files takes quite long (a couple of seconds) - Interface looks dated - Graph view is not very usable, it just shows a bunch of words. No idea how to get any meaning out of this. - Backlinks did not update in my test

Typora [0], another markdown editor is light-years ahead with the basic features – being able to edit markdown files and search through them all at once.

I appreciate the competition, tho. Good to have another option.

The price is quite high for such an editor in my opinion. More polished note-taking apps like Bear [2] or Notion [3] https://www.notion.so/ are even cheaper. They are proprietary, so not using markdown files directly, but I think it is fair to compare them anyways.

Hi there! It certainly doesn't sound normal for the app to take a few seconds to open files.

Would you join our community to give us a chance to debug the issue? https://obsidian.md/community

We're still currently in beta so we'd really appreciate all the help we can get to polish any hiccups in the app.

As for the editing experience, we're only about 3 months in so there's a lot of catching up to do, and Typora-level editing experience is something we're shooting for.
