While I really like the lightweight approach and easy inserting of images, I don“t see a big difference to edit md-files with Sublime/Atom/Code and activated tree-view/markdown/vim-plugin. Maybe you should advertise more differences for a developer compared to his already running Sublime/Atom/Code/Vim-Setup with a Notes-Folder full of markdown-files.

Indeed, VNote is inspired by Vim when I used Vim to edit Markdown notes for about a month. VNote utilize many code editors' features for note taking, such as Vim mode, vertical split, and shortcuts.

The obvious differences to code editors may be:

1. In-place image preview. Preview of formulas and flowcharts will come soon. This really help user to focus on the content without a side-by-side live preview or alternating between read/edit mode frequently. 2. Note management. VNote handle stuffs like images, attachments, and tags in the future.
