How is @penny different from @obsidian, @notion, @roam, @applenotes, @weavit, @able, @minders... ?

The short answer is: Penny is simpler. No back linking, no organization, no structure, no long-form notes. All those features make it harder over time to add new things

If you can handle the simplicity... Penny is for you.
