If I had a penny for every notetaking app, I'd invest that money in another notetaking app.
Jokes aside, this looks nice! Especially good to see that native C++ development (even if it's in Qt) isn't dead.

I am not very satisfied about current Markdown editors or note-taking apps. Most Markdown editors use side-by-side live preview to minimize the gap between the edit and read of Markdown. People usually think of "live preview" when it comes to Markdown, which is really a MISUNDERSTANDING about Markdown.
So I want to develop a note-taking app with pleasant Markdown experience, which try to minimize the gap of Markdown by carefully-tuned syntax highlights and in-place image preview.
Give VNote a try and you will be surprised by the simple and pleasant experience VNote provides. :)
I'm wondering how would you go about keeping notes with many links readable? For example, in this note imported from Wikipedia [1] the left side is hard to read while the right side doesn't have this problem. Some users have also been importing entire web pages, which are a mess of tables and links. They render fine in HTML but are not readable in Markdown.
About side-by-side live preview, I hate the feeling of moving eyes left and right frequently and try hard to keep track of where you are.
I commented about that a few days ago:
> It's funny. Every week there is a new note-taking app being shown in HN. (and the usual guy raving about org.mode :) )
> Many of them are similar but not equal. It really shows that there is a need for these apps but the problems they are thought to solve are unique from person to person.
> I know this because I'm starting to build my own note-taking app.
