I wish somebody would write a good comparative review of all the note-taking, information organization and outlining apps... I'm in constant search of the one that would actually suit my preferences. Perhaps this is the one (but chances are it's not). Let's take a look...

(if you are a programmer) Why don't you write it? It seems to me a good personal project, not too much complex and pretty funny (at least to me)

Looks really nice... I do wish it could use Dropbox/Google-Drive/MS-OneDrive etc as a storage engine though... or local FS in the appropriate directories. I'm also not sure about security on the server, may give it a try on a dokku server to see how it goes.

I'm always thinking about doing so yet the perfect one I imagine is actually too complex for me to make - I hardly am too much of a frontend developer so far.

I think a good place to start would be here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_notetaking_softw...

A good, fully-featured note-taking application is incredibly complex.

What features would you like in your ideal one?

Thanks but this list doesn't seem relevant to me as it doesn't even contain any of the most interesting notetaking apps I've seen so far like TreeSheets, Bear (I wish it wasn't Apple-only), The Brain, Notable or Frame. Evernote-like stuff is not what I'm looking for.

One of the nice things about writing your own note-taking application is that it doesn't have to either good or fully-featured. It just has to do the job better than any existing solution.
