Unique features, best notes app I’ve used

I have tried many note taking apps before, and Slates really stood out to me with its functional yet minimalistic features.

For instance I really enjoy the fact that I can open several windows in parallel and see all my notes in parallel, which is nice when I am multi-tasking and the notes are related to each other but have to be separated.

I used to use Notion quite a lot, now I switched to Slates because it’s way less complicated but more functional for my purposes
