Christoph,
Any time URLs are not clickable in Edit mode, wrap the URL with angle brackets: <www.mylifeorganized.net>. The brackets should also work in Preview mode. This was a problem in earlier betas, but is fixed now.
Cheers,

Actually I like the MarkDown support and think it was a good decision.
Fiddling with rich-text formatting is much more cumbersome.
However, I see are several things that could be improved. For instance, when I paste anything that looks like a URL into the editable notes field, it automatically becomes a clickable link - but when I switch to the note preview, it's shown as plain text only. And when I format it as a Markdown link to become clickable there, it's not clickable any more in the editable view. Would be much better if URLs would be always clickable in any of these cases.
It would be also helpful if the note preview could be copied with formatting, and pasted into Evernote or Word as formatted text.
Another missing part is support for checklists, e.g. using this common syntax (also supported by Evernote):
https://blog.github.com/2014-04-28-task-lists-in-all-markdown-documents/
This can sometimes be a time-saving alternative to adding and managing real subtasks. So far, I have been using - and + as workaround to mark uncompleted and completed subtasks in notes, but they now all appear as bullets in the preview.

Thanks, didn't know that. But still inconvenient. The links are already

clickable without brackets in edit mode, so why not in preview mode?
