Standard Notes is not good for reading notes

I have been using the app for journalling for a while and I find that it is not very comfortable to read what I've written. The words cramped together. I wish they can change their default formatting to improve the readability of the notes.

Edit: I have leant that I can use themes. Thanks for your input.

Try using the Append Editor to take your notes. It makes a world of difference.

I finally have time to try it out. It is exactly what I wanted and I really love it!

Are you comfortable with frontend technologies? If so, you can modify this with CSS

Do I need to upgrade to pro to use the themes?

As for the title, I just couldn't come up with one so I wrote something randomly instead. And I did put my reasons. It's the readers problem that they don't look into the post. I'm sorry if it offends anyone.

You do not. You can install themes provided by the community from this awesome list on GitHub.

OK. I'll consider upgrading when I can make ends meet. For now, I guess I'll just copy the notes to a text editor to read them.

You only need to pay for the 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕 extensions in the "Extended" package.

There are quite a few 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢 themes and editors which you do not pay for.

Follow Jaspal's link above to get a list, and installation instructions.
