Any plans on possibly making the notes be local markdown files similar to how Obsidian does it?

You are totally right but the name may still be an unfortunate choice for native English speakers
I'm not a native english speaker. Totally didn't occur to me. My tongue somehow rolled like "zoo-note" to my mind at the time lol
I am a native English speaker and it has taken me reading all these comments about the name and a Google search to figure out people are equating joo with Jew. I still don't get what the issue is...

#33As a native English speaker who had to Google joonish to see what people were talking about, what is the big issue with the name?

#34I appreciate the ability to rapidly capture a note/thought/todo without friction and context switching.
I solved this problem with a twilio sms number. When I send a text to it, the content gets prepended to my obsidian todo.md file. This was easy to arrange with a few lines of Python glue.
iOS makes it easy to text or share to sms from almost any context.

#35This is a very useful feature as an app.
It will definitely come in handy when it is much needed.
The video walk-through is solid.
It seems like a genuinely good app which does what it says it does.
Great job!

I'm a native English speaker and it's the literal first thing I thought of when I read the name.
> I still don't get what the issue is...
The word "jew" (as a verb) has roots in stereotypes about Jewish people and money; it's an ethnic slur. The word "jew" (instead of "a Jew" or "Jewish") is a dismissive insult. The word itself isn't inherently offensive, but it's often weaponized in English, which is why it has a lot of historical baggage that makes people very wary when they see it.

#38Alright everyone, I have updated the website to show the phonetic notation below the app name in the header to roughly convey what I intended it to sound like: /ˈzhooːnoʊt/
Didn't mean to be insensitive or anything here. I apologize if I offended anyone here.

They think it sounds too similar to jew.
But I don't know why that would be offensive in that context
