If it's open source, extremely reliable, cross platform including Android, opens in less than 2 seconds(like Google Keep does), and is packaged for Linux in a maintenance free way(AppImage/Flatpak/single binary), then probably.
Sync has to never lose data due to conflicts, the desktop version needs to not be entirely keyboard shortcut driven and not take a week to learn.
I've tried pretty much all the notes apps, none are 100% perfect, but Google Keep is hard to compete with.
I suspect it would not be too hard to make a great one, because you could use SyncThing and plain text as the backend, and I've thought about doing one myself, but the effort of maintaining a cross platform app by myself is more stress than I want to add.
2) Advance Extremely feature rich (But lacks the basic features the ui rapid note taking)
3)Extendable Apps
4) Apps with ingenious features like networked note taking tagging, graphical trees, backlinking (Like roam, reflect, capacities)
Full featured apps exist for desktop while their android counterparts are limited, all features reside in their desktop app and on android app you can only view no create no sync etc
If you combine all (Next to impossible)
I am better with notepad on windows and vim on linux and keep on android
No one can answer “yes” with the information you’ve given. Who are you? What would your app do differently that is worth switching to? How much would it cost? For all we know, you’re going to use an LLM to build a slow app which consumes a ton of RAM before crashing, is an expensive subscription, sells user data, and isn’t even available on our OS of choice.
We’re not in your head, you have to communicate your plans.
Thank you, this is awesome. I will communicate my plans properly. Basically, It's a markdown-based collaborative note-taking app where anyone can access, edit, and contribute to notes, making knowledge open and community-driven.
Thank you for clarifying. To answer the original question: No, I wouldn’t use it. To me notes are something personal. Occasionally collaborative but only on a small individual level. What you’re describing seems more like a knowledge base or documentation, and I wouldn’t use a notes approach for that.
What if you have the option to keep your notes locally or in a platform like GitHub (if the repo is public, the notes are public, and if the repo is private, the notes are private)?

My personal notes are valuable. I want them to last a decade. There’s already Markdown, text editors, and Git.
A new note-taking app could sell my notes, lock me out via Cloudflare, use robot detection that doesn’t work, leave critical bugs unfixed, pull some kind of business-source-license bait-and-switch, enshittify in some other creative way, or just go away overnight without notice.
Thank you. I will take care of that. Basically, it's a markdown-based collaborative note-taking app where anyone can access, edit, and contribute to notes, making knowledge open and community-driven.
