Don't most note-taking software products already sync to multiple devices? I'm unclear what new idea you are trying to add in?

If you are suggesting that putting a git repo behind it would be an improvement, I'd question that. git is line-based, most freeform notes are sentence or paragraph based. In coding, line length is part of the UX of working in the code, so git works great. Not true for note-taking, where the line length of the data storage is not necessarily tied to the UX of working in the notes.

So I guess the answer is a solid "No" from me. I don't want to risk deteriorating my UX just to solve what is really a back-end data storage concern that I, as the user, should not have to give a crap about, and which doesn't seem to be broken in any meaningful way.

No.You don't understand.I just want a multi-device synchronized sticky note, not a relatively private note in a broad sense. Imagine a scene: when you are walking on the road, suddenly you have an idea and you want to write it down, so you record it on your phone. But when you want to implement it, you need to do it on your computer, which is a bit embarrassing. You have to take out your phone to check it.Moreover, this is an open-source project. I don't need to be responsible for the risks of the users. They are responsible for their own actions
