It is not even rendering 1,000,000 notes; just those visible on screen. The illusion breaks pretty quickly as soon as you scroll a bit. I feel like it could be much faster.

Since you can't CTRL+F them, they're not rendered.

Also... who wants to render 1M notes? Maybe if you can CTRL+F them...

Yup, that is true. And yes, it could really be much faster. This is an early preview though, and I'm working on it!

Also, Seen does have search. The problem with making it work with Ctrl+F would be to render all 1M notes (or at least some "shadow" version of them), which would really slow everything down. But again, maybe there is some other way - speed is one of the major concerns, and I'm working on it!
