Yup - it stopped being a functional note taking app. Which is the only reason I used it in the first place.
It used to just get out of the way and let me take notes in my browser with the comfort of knowing I could get them from anywhere later.
Now it's this horrible, janky app that tries to do too many things, shoves constant feature popups in my face, and isn't very good for taking notes.
I used it constantly 10 years ago. I don't use it at all today. I just loaded it up again to see if I'm missing anything -
It takes nearly 10 seconds to load on a developer machine on a gigabit internet connection.
It immediately asks for permission to send me popups
It tries to show me 7 different features on the home screen (notes/scratchpad/pinned notes/recently captured/notebooks/tags/shortcuts) instead of just fucking showing me my last note.
It takes multiple clicks to start a new note every time.

Basically - it's now worse than a physical notepad in basically every way.
