This looks like a potential competitor to Notion more than Wave (as others have pointed out).

It's worth pointing out that Microsoft has let its OneNote product wither on the vine in recent years, ceding use cases and market share to competitors like Evernote, Bear, Craft, and even Obsidian. People have been asking for Markdown support and the ability to insert code blocks in OneNote for years; maybe Loop will end up being the de facto replacement and contain those features.

I'd be happy with Find&Replace in OneNote, but that's not on the table. They even have a handy help page [0] that needs to be seen to be believed: explaining how to copy the text you want to replace, Ctrl+F, input your search, and just repeat Ctrl+F, Ctrl+V!

Someone actually took the time to write that doc page instead of implementing a basic editor feature...

Did they really cede market share to Evernote much? Isn’t Evernote ceding market share? I have always assumed Bear and Craft are pretty niche. Aren’t they Apple ecosystem only?
