5/5Feature requests
Would it be possible to add an option for the user to select the app accent color? As well as create our own syntax themes. They could be imported or created within the app Hello, I cloned a git repo that I have used for vimwiki for years. When the repo was cloned into FSNotes, the app does not preserve the folder structure. So I have 1639 folders at the top level. However, if I go into the files app and see the files that the app is using, the folder structure is still there. Would it be possible to fix this? Thanks

4/5Excellent open source subscription-free note taking app
I have not had any problems with this app which works as well as many competitors which charge a subscription and keep your notes in a database instead of as plain text files. Yes, it still needs some polish, but still a great app that will meet most of your needs.

2/5doesn’t save changes for existing notes
Notes were synced from the Mac, can create a new notes, but editing existing ones rolls back to the previous state. Also rolled back many of them to the state around two weeks before. Tried to enable/disable git but doesn’t help. Existing notes rolls back after edit in 15-30 seconds or after reload app all time.

1/5Crashes Like Clockwork
When I open the app I get the logo screen. After counting 19 seconds the app crashes. Maybe I can use it as a timer if I ever have something to do that takes exactly 19 seconds. To be fair it's a great app when it works. But previous versions have deleted ALL of my notes and now it doesn't work at all.
