Hello HN, introducing my note-taking app. Please check it out. I am proud of the "killer feature" which is the tag tree, which intersects all note tags and creates a "binary tree" type of UI experience to find notes. The design of this was fun, as it initially didn't use virtualization and debugging showed hundreds of thousands of containers being generated. Now it's virtualized and very speedy =).

    Just as feedback.. The app concept sounds great, I like the site and screenshots - but I'm not able to run it due to it being Windows only. Also, I would be more willing to try it if it was open source.

      Appreciate the feedback. I have a question for you: do you realize that making something open source means you lioeters the person gets to use it, but it is also possible that a corporation can use it and install hundreds of instances of it? I simply don't think that is fair. I think a license that makes usage free for personal use is fair, and a corporation can pay a fair price to deploy it.

      I understand now that maybe HN is not the target audience for my app. The value of my app is runtime usage, not extending and modifying the source.
