> I care about longevity, will I get local .md files so I can easily back up and have them to move to other programs if the worst were to happen?

Yes, you can easily download PDF, HTML and MD files.

> Do you have a taggin system? Hard to see in the screenshot.

No not yet, since this is our second MVP and public beta. We have planned a tagging system though, because it's important for our social blog features.

> What about linking notes? To be honest, joplin sucks a bit about this.

Not yet, because we want to avoid too much complexity on the UI side but yes, the features will grow as the app grows :)

> How do you pay for hosting? Joplin has Jolin cloud, and its a couple bucks a month, how do you make it free, especially in the long run?

I have a sponsored hosting from Vercel because the project is FOSS. All I need to do is take care of the firebase side. We did talk about introducing paid plans but that's far future for now, we'll adjust according to the feedback we get and it also depends on how people are using the app.
