I certainly am.

The only thing I disagree with is the lack of a web client.

It just seems like you could save a ton of work by starting with the web client, then create desktop versions via something like todesktop.com.

Then you're spending less time on updates - it's just one desktop version, and the iOS + Android versions are just consuming data from your API anyway.

Love the BYO CouchDB feature - very interesting!

A web client seems like it would incur hosting and other costs.

A high quality note taking app is all about sleek UI. "Just consuming data from an API" is going to be 5% of the development effort.

You're right there, not sure what I was thinking there.

Regardless, my original point is still valid. You could serve web/MacOS/Windows/Linux users with a single UI.
