Indeed!

I have one question though, why is there only M1+ support only? I can’t run it on my Intel-Mac. Will there be also a version for Intel in the near future, or maintaining another architecture would add to the complexity?

I can add an intel build I think, just have to see how to do that. I'm going to take a bit of a demand driven approach here. Wasn't sure that many people even have Intel based macs anymore. Will add it to the list.

Interesting. I wonder what makes it feel like "just a website" to you, I thought silverbullet always had an "appy" feel to it, just squeezed into a browser tab. So "unleashing" like this wouldn't be that strange. Could it be that you've been operating in SB for such a long time that you're just used to it being a website?

Yes, absolutely. I also want to take this as an opportunity to make this easier to use. I'm thinking about more of a UI for making configuration changes. Perhaps some "starter spaces" to immediately get a bunch of features pre-set up. Very much open to ideas here. Some of these ideas will make more sense in SilverBullet+ specifically, others I would probably simply build into [SB.md](http://SB.md) regular (like a UI for preferences).

Also lots to do in terms of onboarding, I agree.

How would you imagine this walkthroughs, indeed with giant arrows pointing at UI elements and explaining what they are? I suppose I could do that, personally I always try to click close those things, but I also don't immediately have better ideas.
