+Synoptic is "GMail for your notes". It gives you an efficient and friendly
+interface that makes it possible to keep and categorize a *large* number of
+small-ish notes and tidbits of information.
+
+The following features set it apart:
+
+* **Fully versioned.** Never deletes *anything*, *ever*. If you want to go back
+to a previous version of something, just drag that slider up there in the
+top-left corner.
+
+* **Super-simple Navigation.** Adaptive tag clouds, 
+support for the forward/back button on your browser, 
+query links, support for browser bookmarks. All to make sure
+you can find that note when you need it.
+
+* **Powerful searching.** Synoptic is meant to keep *large*
+note collections manageable and accessible. You can search for items
+based on tags, their creation time, or even search through their *full text*. 
+Plus arbitrary logical combinations of them, using the 
+logical operatos and, or, and not.
+
+* **Easy Markup.** Synoptic uses
+Markdown to allow you to type formatted notes easily and
+quickly. Plus, there are a few extensions to facilitate
+typing math.
+
+* **Advanced Features.** A lot of refinement work has gone into
+making Synoptic work as seamlessly as possible. You may never notice
+many of these refinements, because they're meant to make stuff work like
+it's supposed to.
+
