Some of the user-interface problems I recognised in my few-minute-test:

- Many notes I have are longer: I.e. tend to be made of headlines etc. So i need something like markdown for structuring. Using the mouse seems to cumbersome and to hard to maintain a visual consistency.

- The delete button (particularly on the default notes) was too hidden in the menu. I had to search for it.

- Adding a link didn't automatically select the link field to immediately copying the link.

- Copying a link in a empty text field didn't convert it in a link field (seemed like a good opportunity to shine)

- I didn't find a "new note" button after entering a first node (because I had to save it... doh). I think I would prefer an auto-save and/or a "new" button to avoid the confusion.

- When clicking "link to tag" I have no method of aborting my uneducated request (esc?) I had to enter the tag to safe it even though I changed my mind.

- I often had to click "..." when trying to edit an entry. 6 menu items: I think they could all be shown side-by-side?

I must agree, there are these subtle usability issues. I'll be definitely addressing these in next updates. Thanks!
