I am working on a lightweight, note taking application that focuses on quick note taking, and fully keyboard based usage.

In my app Notes are all one liner, and it supports minimum Markdown, it can manage tasks, reminders, do inline calculations, unlimited undo/redo. Notes can organize by project and categories. Data is stored as simple text file.

Core point is simplicity, and frictionless note taking, high performance, and be open in nature. And, to build a framework that will provide ways to manage notes in many different ways. Like I have plans for kanban, Eisenhower matrix, back-linking, bookmark manager, time-tracking, etc. All from a single place, without fiddling with mouse, or any UI that stops me from writing my thoughts, or using my muscle memory.

I am looking for feedback, and wondering what would make people actually interested to buying this. The demo versions are feature complete, except it wont save to file.

It's completely hand written, no AI assisted code.
