You're probably gonna like what were working on right now. It basically covers what you described. We've been wondering if it's actually a valid use case, and seeing that there are readers who'd want to do that is reassuring. Would you want those notes public? And if they're public, how would you feel about people replying to them?

I will let users decide whether they want comments or not. I've also considered public/private notes, as I am working on something similar, and I've reached the conclusion that people post on a web app because they want to be seen; otherwise, they would just write in their diary. Private notes always give me a sense of false privacy, as anyone with admin access to the database can read whatever private things you've written, unless you make it clear to users that "private" means not viewable by other users but not private from the admins. An alternative is to offer an offline app, private notes never sync to the server (cross-device syncing can be done by iCloud, for example).
