gollark: Well, it lacks lots of important features I like: revision history, formatting support at all, crosslinks, usable from a web browser, image/video embedding.
gollark: Look, if I just want "easy" and don't care about features or usability or whatever, I technically *can* manage my notes in a folder of plaintext files or something, it would just be bad.

gollark: Anyway, upsides of client-rendering:- UI can be faster and more responsive, and allow stuff like "live" search that updates as you type and instant preview of markdown- can connect other stuff to same APIDownsides:- more code, it's somewhat annoying/problem-inducing to synchronize state correctly between server and client- more JS dependencies
gollark: They need precise 3-space coordinates.
