I've been looking forward to OneNote on the Mac for years. I installed it and found out there is no option for offline notebooks; all notebooks appear to be synced through the OneDrive cloud. WTF? There's not even the option to encrypt notebooks in the cloud. I'm just not going to share all my personal thoughts and notes with the NSA. I'm disappointed.
Meh. Against my better judgment, I downloaded it and poked around. Predictably, it does not play well others. Most notable, there is no export functionality. There is a 'Share as PDF' which is (a) not the same, and (b) broken for me because 'my email program is not set up properly' which is false. Hard to trust. (Evernote has a fine export capability, fwiw). One Note will, however, appeal to people who prefer 'struct…
Not Bill himself, but the OneNote engineering team are doing an AMA on Reddit on Wednesday at midday.
Nothing to link to yet but it's in the "upcoming" sidebar section http://www.reddit.com/r/iama
I wish it felt like it was made for the Mac -- hopefully they'll work on it more. - Standard Mac keyboard shortcuts don't work (ie. ctrl-a & ctrl-e to move to beginning and end of lines) - Can't drag a picture from the Finder into the OneNote
Installed on a fully-updated MacBook Pro Retina. Crashes on startup. Every. single. time.

It's early stage, but try https://turtl.it . Works on mac. Encrypts everything . Offline mode is in the works. Disclosure: I built it.
I like how you can run your own server. Have you considered integration with services like Dropbox? That's my go-to for syncing data between systems. I understand that would make monetizing the product more difficult though.
I'm always open to suggestions though. If there was a viable way to charge for Turtl while also making it easier for people to adopt, I'm all ears =]. I think it would be hard to charge a one-time download fee for an open-source app though (and open source is essential for anything dealing with crypto).

Now that a lot of the OneNote team seems to be around here I'd like to mention two issues with OneNote:
* Metro/modern/app-version doesn't support password protected notebooks. Client side encryption should be nice as well.
* Sane (>2005) tagging. Why oh why do you have to use the mouse (or several key combos + arrows in a row) to choose one of a list of predefined tags? (The checkbox feature is nice though.)Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can I access through a web browser? And from my Linux desktop?
Yeah, full editing through the browser, with semi-live sync to the client (I'm seeing a maybe 20 second lag?)

You aren't the first to suggest this and it would possibly make it easier for people to get started. There are two main problems though: monetization (as you brought up), and also the fact that many privacy-conscious individuals may not even have a Dropbox account to begin with because of its implications. I'm always open to suggestions though. If there was a viable way to charge for Turtl while also making it easier…
Does that ever work? I couldn't tell you.
