So the only use case for this application is when one cannot use "the real thing" (org-mode in Emacs), e.g. when browsing using an internet kiosk PC, tablet, and smartphone?

Btw, I do hope tablets and phones can run Emacs soon :)

That is one use case, here are some others

Some people don't know or want to learn how to use emacs

yata allows you to share docs with those people, so I take notes sometimes in yata during meetings and it's easy to share these notes with them.

yata changes are always centralized, and you can access them anywhere with web access, you could kind of achieve that on emacs with tramp.

and yes, phones and tablets, though my phone and tablet interface isn't very good right now (I also hope we can run emacs on phones and tablets, but honestly, without a good keyboard, emacs would be really hard to use)

collaborative editing, which is harder with emacs, you would have to share screen sessions, or pop up buffers on someones X windows session

yata allows you to email items into documents, in emacs you can do this by checking email, and shuffling those items to org mode, in the future, I may support txt messages in addition to email.

In the future, I think there I would like to add some features that aren't present, or are hard to do in org mode

google calendar integration, which you can do in org mode I've never done it, but it seems to be driven by manual syncing, and I would like to make that automatic.

that's it for now I think.

I don't want to use Emacs.

I have used it as a REPL and I think I will only use it for editing Lisp, but never for anything else.
