Buggy (P0)
Cursor can lag.
Sometimes errors copy and pasting.
Slight delay to publish (P1)
Slightly slower to publish than Notion and HackMD which show updates to the current version in view mode instantly.
Copy and paste text (P0)
Issues highlighting, copying, and pasting the published text including lists and links
Cannot copy and paste lists.
Copying and pasting text with links technically works, but appears to the user that it is not highlighting the full text.
This makes it hard for the reader to interact with the content.
Browsers
Chrome: Not as bad. Missing some body content
Firefox: Missing lists and links.
Second-level unordered lists not formatting correctly (P0)
This first-level bullet is formatted correctly.
This second-level bullet is not formatted correctly.
This can be confusing to the reader and appear to be a typo.
H4 headers are not available (P0)
Useful as a replacement for bold text to use a header link in order to deep-link into.
Table of contents (ToC) viewable in different screen sizes (P1)
The ToC is only displayed when the window takes up the full screen.
This make it hard for the reader to navigate longer or complex content.
Not as dynamic as HackMD’s navigation button for narrow screen views.
Global navigation menu is not dynamic when the table of contents (ToC) are showing (P1)
It's useful to have both a ToC and navigation menu.
ToC helps quickly navigate within the current page.
Navigation menu helps move between related topics.
The menu should be dynamic based on the screen size and be manually collapsible (Similar to HackMD's UX).

Radical integration (P2)
