#2I like the idea, but I think there's probably more friction than I wanted to. Nevertheless, I'm not your target customer, I don't have a team or manage projects.

#3Seems like the kind of note-taking app I was looking for - something that does not constrain me to the one-dimensionality of text, and isn't just a poor work-around that fact as outlines are. I particularly like that one can visualize the nodes in a canvas and then switch to the columns view. This is really good.
Now the dealbreaker question: can I export my data without losing relationship metadata?

At the moment if you are into it you can get all your data, including relations in json format just by inspecting traffic source and getting that json. But I plan to add more civilized way of getting your data out!

#5Do you plan an open source version for self-hosting?

#6Seems really good, takes some things from google keep and adds the complexity that keep lacks.
Nice!

#7Looks very interesting. Like a combination of Subtask and Trello. Each of those have limitations that keep me from adopting it for all my note-taking and project management... Perhaps this is the perfect middle-ground.
One thing, though: That demo video went waaaaaaay too fast. I couldn't keep up with it at all, and just stopped watching. I understand you're trying to fit all the many features into a single, short video, but that's just too much. Why not go at normal pace and just feature the most "a-ha!" features?

#8Some of the user-interface problems I recognised in my few-minute-test:
- Many notes I have are longer: I.e. tend to be made of headlines etc. So i need something like markdown for structuring. Using the mouse seems to cumbersome and to hard to maintain a visual consistency.
- The delete button (particularly on the default notes) was too hidden in the menu. I had to search for it.
- Adding a link didn't automatically select the link field to immediately copying the link.
- Copying a link in a empty text field didn't convert it in a link field (seemed like a good opportunity to shine)
- I didn't find a "new note" button after entering a first node (because I had to save it... doh). I think I would prefer an auto-save and/or a "new" button to avoid the confusion.
- When clicking "link to tag" I have no method of aborting my uneducated request (esc?) I had to enter the tag to safe it even though I changed my mind.
- I often had to click "..." when trying to edit an entry. 6 menu items: I think they could all be shown side-by-side?

#9Do you plan an open source version for self-hosting?
Exactly.
I don't mind paying for self-hosted version of this - I'm looking for something like this for quite a long time, basically a spiced up cross between org-mode and Tiddlywiki.
