Word of advice: your usage of immature expressions very much lowers the professionalism of your product and how much I’d look to trust it. In the comments here, phrases such as ‘user starts hating YourNote for some reason’ and ‘they go rekt’ are two such examples.

Characterising the language you don't agree with as "immature" doesn't reflect well on you.
Please provide a more appropriate word to describe those phrases. They’re definitely unprofessional- but unprofessional doesn’t quite fit here. Also- nothing about disagreeing with here. There’s language that is appropriate in some contexts and that isn’t quite appropriate elsewhere. In essence, your comment is seemingly argumentative for the sake of it.
"rekt" is immature and has nothing to do with agreement.
True. I will be careful. Thanks for pointing it out.
It reads, to me, as more of an ESL adaptation.
