I like how Kortex gives you a separate box to write in. They call it elements. Which is basicaly the same thing as callouts in obsidian. But writing in obsidian callouts just feels different. See what I mean:
Kortex
Obsidian
Actually makes sense. I often was annoyed myself by the codelike look when writing.
Yeah I would love this, I don’t like how they drop into markdown as soon as you put your cursor on them. Similar to what I posted about here in features: Allow callouts to be "locked" unless user explicitly clicks edit button
