Vnote shows formatting, including rendered MathJax/LaTeX, in its source code mode. In my opinion, this is the best feature.

This is different from Mark Text and Typora, which allow you to edit in either source code mode (no MathJax rendering but you see all characters) or the default live preview mode (all Markdown formatting is rendered, but this hides formatting characters for things like bold or MathJax equations).

VNote uses a lot more resources than other similar editors, like Zim or Obsidian, while providing many less functions.

I really like how it is laid out, and that it is portable.

But I don't like how it puts .json attached to all notes, even .txt. It would make it very annoying when using it as basic folder notes in windows explorer, or importing to another note-taking app.

Excellent notes app, uses .md files so everything's in plain text and easily readable. Also has support for extensions which allow MathJax equations and graphs.
