This is a neat idea but unless I can operate my own private version then it's not really useful.

I've got a private wiki that provides essentially the same function. It's not as convenient to add new notes, but that convenience comes at the cost of organizational sanity.

I tried using Evernote for this purpose and what I discovered was unless you can control it yourself then it sucks. Eventually they're going to have money problems or they'll get DDoSed or whatever and suddenly this vital resource you've learned to rely on is not available when you need it.

You might as well use notepad & nextcloud.

There are only 2 things an app like this can offer to make it 'special' compared to the thousands of other available methods. Searchable tags, and a convenient UI.

Thanks for the feedback. We're definitely thinking about tags - even beyond just making them searchable. A lot of people run into issues like forgetting what tag they used and having a user-feedback and a UserFeedback. Also issues when a project name changes and so tags need to be migrated. Do you have that problem? What do you mean by private version? Do you mean running it on-premise?

Yeah I would rather have a php based webapp that I can download and install on my own server, than any sort of SaaS thing. I hate SaaS, I think it's a kind of gamble, I am gambling that the people providing that service will be successful and operational until I quit using it.

But in the real world that isn't always the case.

However with a localized application that I can download, install, and run without any reliance on "the mothership", if the developers should go belly up (obviously nobody wants that), I can at least continue to use the software for a length of time while searching for a suitable replacement.

That's just one example. There's other things, such as data security, short term outages, and so on. In general SaaS has always been a terrible idea. It's good for corporations, but it sucks for users, and computing is about what's good for the users.
