Earlier quoted context omitted.

>>viewing data in different ways Could you elaborate on that?

In addition to adding more services and content types accessible through Moo.do, we would like to add more ways to view that content. So for example we currently have two ways of viewing your data within Moo.do (what we call a 'Normal Pane' and a 'Timeline Pane'. The 'Normal Pane' displays as a hierarchical text document. The 'Timeline Pane' displays your items ordered by due date and priority. Both of these operate…

Interesting. Can you give me some examples of possible views we can expect?

Any plans to support login without Google Drive? I'd rather not store (or authenticate) with Google. Support for something like Amazon S3 or even SCP would be amazing.

In the short term no. We rely on Google to provide free data storage and a free data synchronization backend in order to provide a free app.

In the long term yes. We would like to allow the user to choose where and how their data is stored. We want you to have complete control over any data that you put into the app. We do however have a large number of features that we feel are important to Moo.do to finish before we get to this point.

This is a pretty well thought out note-taking/organisation app. Evernote and Keep weren't really cutting it for me, so I have been looking for one for a while. Even considered building one myself (which I still might eventually), so I have checked out quite a few. Congrats to the team who put this together. One slight grudge, which hopefully they would have considered fixing already -- the Android installer is quite…

Glad you like it nnain! We also spent a lot of time looking at different organization options prior to starting Moo.do and weren't happy with what they provided (usually at a cost!). If there's a killer feature that would make Moo.do a better experience for you we'd love to hear about it. The size of the android install is a little on the large size, but we're using https://crosswalk-project.org/ instead of the nativ…

Your app already has more features than I wanted! So no problem with that. I found the navigation a bit confusing initially, despite the interesting intro video. Have figured it out now. I will need to use the app more more to say how I like it with larger notes.

Do you have any plans to support international dates (or an option to define how dates are parsed, @MM.DD vs @DD.MM)? @01.10 is parsed as January 10th but shold be October 1st which gets even worse as @30.09 is recognized as September 30th

We are working on supporting international dates and keyboards better. I don't have an ETA for when this will be available, but it will be sooner rather than later.

Just wanted to say that the onboarding for this is fantastic. It made me understand/explore way more than I normally would. I really wanted all those things in the help list to be checked off!

I plan on giving this app a whirl for the next few days to see how it goes.
