Sync is broken, corrupts data

Very nice design, but unfortunately no sync conflicts handling anywhere, I have lost on multiple occasions entries from mobile or desktop to the same issue file. I would love to use this for its nice ux, but this makes it unbearable currently. Yes we all know iCloud is slow, but e.g. OmniOutliner handles this way better.
