Verdict: A beautiful and very useful product whose main flaw is not being open-source. Has a powerful ecosystem and good design, and is built around markdown.

designed to support a variety of workflows, such as journaling, note-taking, personal wiki, task management

... an organizer tool for Neovim. It can be used to accomplish and implement a wide variety of workflows. It is designed to quickly add items in trees. Why a tree? Well, list of things like WIP lists are great but they lack the organization part. Most of them can be gathered in “lists of lists” — you probably have that on your phone.
