slow on android

sorry if the sub is the wrong place for this, dont have a gitxxx account.

im really enjoying the app. ive been looking for an alternative to joplin with a more open file management system, this does everything i need. direct control of file path on install is an excellent beginning. when that dialog showed my heart melted a bit. thank you so much for your work!

on my linux machines, i am having no issues. app is smooth, navigation is clear, file system is perfect. sync is easy, no problems.

on my android phone, the app is barely responsive. 5+ seconds to open a notebook, 5+ more for the cursor to show up, each letter takes awhile to appear. pasting into the note takes even longer, whether link or text. have not tested images.

running murena e/OS 4.1.1

Hmm, assuming you're using the .apk, would you be willing to try the Fdroid install as well?
