XL or card format Note List previews with rendered Markdown

A competing app, Supernotes, has an excellent card format that allows users to flip through their library of short notes, or relatively short previews of notes, with rendered markdown.

It would be great to add a Preview Style to the Note List called “X-Large” or “Card” that showed more lines of a note and rendered the markdown for every note in the list.

I want this especially for mathematical notes so that, eg., if I searched for “abelian group” or browsed to a tagged area I could see at a glance all my rendered definitions and theorems about that concept. I think it will be useful in many other contexts too. A lot of benefits of the “card” layout without having to change too much.

I too wish for a card style preview in the note list. It can support this idea of “peripheral vision”, whereby you see notes laid out next to each other. Rather than opening each note and arranging them on your desktop, you can see it right on your note list (albeit limited to your search parameters or tagging structure).
