Instant Sharing
The ability to share any note-card you have written with friends is really useful. You can also control the visibility of the note-cards very simply.

InventiveAphros's Experience
Adding LaTeX maths equations to a note-card in Supernotes is very simple and quick - instantly rendering. The best thing is you can also share these with your friends.

Raghu Ranganathan's Experience
Although it is a paid app, mathCha is very easy to use, and makes it simpler to modify equations and mathematical conjectures. It's really simple and has a very comprehensive autocomplete that is as reliable as Microsoft's intellisense. I love using this.

Export to LaTEX and Import from LaTEX
Makes the data generated in this app usable in a large variety of contexts. Generating LaTEX from math breaks the entry barrier to LaTEX for many.

Relatively easy for beginners coming to LaTex
Their rich and easy-to-navigate documentation allows for easy understanding of both Overleaf and LaTex even if you're completely new to the latter.
