I really want to see pricing, early on and massively obvious in the UI. I need to know if this is Oss or free, or if I'm gunna get hooked on something I can't afford...

Great point, definitely need to add the pricing to our website!
And no, we're not an open source app. In terms of pricing, we have a Free tier and a $10/month "Journal Plus" tier.
Currently the differences between Free vs. Journal Plus are:
1. number of app integrations (2 vs. unlimited)
2. amount of data synchronized from those apps (last 14 days vs. years)
3. file size upload limit (10MB vs. unlimited)
One commitment I can make is that we'll never monetize off of your data or by dumping algorithmic ads on you. So, to do that, we're creating a subscription scheme that allows us to provide some powerful but expensive features, but also provide a very useful free tier.

What's the takeout process like?
I love having an external brain, but "lock-in" and "external brain" are mutually exclusive in my book.

Honestly, we're so early we don't have a take out process yet. But we definitely want to support that when people ask, and it also means that since we don't have a process yet, the first few people get to tell us how they want things exported and we'll make it work :).

Nothing against Journal in particular, but I'd happily bet a lot of money that it's going to be a subscription. 10$/month, or 100$/year, or something like that.
You should growing ARR to investors, they give you money, you grow the company, hire people, etc etc etc
Problem with note-taking: I mostly use notes. If I weren't too lazy I'd use vim or something like that.
I hate that everything is supposed to be a startup business with recurring revenue.
