Heynote is a scratchpad, a single note, and has no plans to support multiple notes or really grow it beyond what it is right now.

Which I respect but I needed at least multiple notes, bringing this much closer to apps like Obsidian, Bear etc.

And then I added a bunch of features that I wanted to have, like UI for opening/creating/deleting nots inspired by Notational Velocity, encryption, command palette, history, Ctrl + B for navigating between blocks.

Edna is basically a superset of Heynote: it does everything Heynote does and lots more.

So yeah, the vision is pretty different.
