Thanks.

To be honest, I am way too invested already to not finish this thing, despite whatever response I get from posts like this. Sometimes I do get curious though. A surprising number of people I've asked in person simply are not interested in saving things from the internet. I guess if all you are into is watching Snapchat and Instagram all day, why would you?

This makes me think I need to tap into the larger business-type market and has me looking into what it would take to implement a permissions system for teams/multi-user editing of notes/etc.

No such thing. That's the sunk cost fallacy. But you probably already know that and are expressing your joy in the project instead of literal investment.

Failing faster and more often is a good strategy. There's a great Freakonomics podcast titled "Failure Is Your Friend" with a bit more context and justification.

Would love a mix between workflowy and Google keep. Ideally, a web app with mobile clients that has an open source server side that you can either pay to have hosted or run yourself :)))
