As an university student who takes note with iPad.This look promising -vector drawing-PDF annotation-Web clipping I would like to see an docs shelf and maybe performance tweak would be great. Using status bar empty space for naming to notes is cool too. ***** Great user experience by Proteusca - Version 1.0.2 - Aug 15, 2013 A powerful design tool. It is very useful to record and share everyday's ideas in a friendly user interface. Collaborative editing is enabled, just like google doc, but it provides more editing tools.
