This happens because when you paste content from external sources like Simplenote, any hidden formatting (font sizes, styles, etc.) can come along for the ride. Blinko uses the Vditor markdown editor, which by default does not sanitize or strip this formatting—so whatever comes in with your paste can affect how your notes look, especially on desktop browsers like Chrome. There’s currently no built-in “paste as plain text” or “clear formatting” feature, and no setting to enforce markdown-only styling on paste source.

Recent updates did add a FontSwitcher and global CSS changes to help standardize font appearance across the app, but these only affect the overall font family, not the cleanup of pasted formatting source.

For now, if you want consistent formatting, the best workaround is to paste your content into a plain text editor (like Notepad) first, then copy it from there into Blinko—this strips out any hidden formatting. Alternatively, you can manually clean up the formatting in the editor after pasting.

If having a “paste as plain text” or “clear formatting” option is important for your workflow, it might be worth suggesting as a feature request.
