I like the UI. Wish it supported markdown, but I'm not really a blogger/writer so my opinion prob doesn't matter :)

Beautiful UI! I created a post in a few seconds, how does it stop someone else from editing that post?

Not bad. I like some things, don't like others, but this is not important. What is important (beware, pessimistic comments):

1. Too slow. Too many server-side steps with slow page reload for an app that should be simple. Perhaps you should do more on the client without reloading, or get a better server code. Write it in a compiled/faster language.

2. I don't believe the world needs another note-taking app.

If we had to stop doing something every single time someone thought the world didn't need it, we wouldn't be doing much.

Very clean! If you don't mind sharing, what's the tech stack?

Thanks! The product was built in PHP with a lot of JS/jQuery for the frontend :)
