Its interesting to see Microsoft launching startup-like products.. is this an acquisition or did they develop it from scratch?. Anyways this is something I would use; not sure if I would pay for it sometime soon.

What I was able to parse from the documentation, this seems to be "one way" API, meaning that one can only post new notes to OneNote but there's no way to read notes via the API. I was expecting a little more from Microsoft in 2014.

OneNote has been available for many years, it is one of the hidden gems in the office suite. Now they are going head-to-head with Evernote and making it available everywhere: OSX, iOS, Android, Windows, Windows Phone, etc.

Hopefully it will convince Evernote to make a linux client to set themselves apart.

Creator of Genius Scan [1] here: we are one of the launch partners of OneNote and integrating with the API was easy. Team is also super responsive and "startup" like.

To address the "one way" API limitation, I would expect Microsoft to add more endpoints over time and I think it's not a bad strategy to start with that one. Adding a way to post notes to OneNote already enabled a lot of cool integrations...

Gareth from the OneNote team here - Definitely top of our backlog. Keep an eye on @onenotedev for updates.
