No ads, ever, I hate them. No reselling of data, that practice is the worst for me. I plan to provide a paid version with an extremely generous free version. The paid version will contain some great features, and will probably be a couple of dollars per month.

Do you hate any type of ads? I see great potential in having service app options that do not seem to me to be very harmful, but I may be wrong... For example, when I mark that I had dinner with my friend at a Japanese food restaurant that I really liked, I could not have an option to book a table using an app like resy.com. Or yelp to find a different one? Or when I note that the last time I was with a friend, it was in a movie theater and this week will launch its sequel, a link to redbox.com. Or in the case of a band show we like, link to ticketmaster? It does not have to be something that makes it difficult to use, an icon at the end of the note could be enough.

  This would most likely mean that an ad script will drop a cookie, scrape the page and dump your data into some DMP for others to buy. This very much undermines the value of a privacy-focused service.

"The paid version will contain some great features, and will probably be a couple of dollars per month." Forgive my ignorance, but with the code under the GPL license, how can you offer exclusive features?

  Just like any other company that has a community edition and a paid version. (See owncloud or nginx) As author he is at liberty to publish his own product under whatever license he wishes. And if he wants to sell a "enterprise" version under a proprietary license he is free to do so.
