Scrolling horrible on long text documents

Scrolling down doesnโ€™t work and is incredibly frustrating on long text documents which is main reason I got this app for long notes.

My go-to for EVERYTHING

The titleโ€™s not a joke. Currently, Iโ€™m using obsidian to plan and write my novel (yes, inside obsidian!), manage long-term work projects, budget & track finances, and study blender. If it involves information, notes, data, studying, mood boardsโ€”you name it, there are plugins to shape this app into virtually anything. Sync is fairly cheap too, and I am happy to support the developer. 10/10, a software project that restores my faith in human ingenuity.

insane.

I canโ€™t tell you how good this app is. Over 3 WEEKS I cured my depression. I wish I could give a hug to the creator.

Great Dev Team

Listens to users and the feedback then works hard improves the app. Thank you!

Just noting that search on iOS and Mac has stopped working today. Tested words that were copied from my obsidian notes and pasted into obsidian search. Doesnโ€™t pick up any notes anymore. Any suggestions?

Five stars

I really like this app, but it disappoints me to find out you canโ€™t change the color of the line and arrow connecting things, but please add that it would be cool
