If you want to promote your product on HN, just submit a "Show HN:" post. Enough with the blatant astroturfing.

One of my favorite pieces of software ever was UserLand Frontier which combined an outliner like this with a scripting language and object database. It's gone now but you can kind of still get it by piecing together with Dave's OPML editor: http://dev.opml.org

ps: the HN headline (currently: "Finally this solves the “notes problem”") sounds a little overzealous.

I guess this is where Dave got the inspiration for his outliner projects (Fargo, Little Outliner)?

With the recent Vesper closure, I was wondering it if it was viable yet for 3rd party software to store notes in iCloud? It doesn't seem officially supported but there might be some work-arounds?

This looks very neat.

Make a Windows version.

Who even needs this on Mac or Windows? iOS/Android/WP is what is needed.
