Landing Page seems interesting but just a word of advice as a constructive criticism hopefully. A Show HN must allow for us to be able to signup or use the app immediately and it looks like we cannot do that right now since it requires onboarding due to gmail limitations.

Hey! It is immediately accessible, sorry for this not being clear! The note taking app within email is free and directly accessible, there are multiple calls to action on the page but here is a shortcut to get started: https://calendar.nat.app https://calendar.nat.app Our paying/main app (the personal crm app that tells you who you're losing touch with) is on a request-only basis because it works with Gmail and we're limited in the number of users we can onboard for now. Hope that clarifies things!

      Also "prep'" should be "prep.". I strongly disagree with your tag line. I think the only way such note taking should be is open source and completely private, otherwise a) you're locked in and b) you risk sensitive info leaking.

        Thanks! Yeah that makes sense as well, it's a different way of looking at it. We found that you have to look at those things like a scale: Open source <------> Ease of use We've decided to focus on the ease of use but there are of course many other note takings apps focusing on the other side :)

        "Open source" and "Easy of use" do not represent opposite sides of a spectrum.

        Exactly. They aren't mutually exclusive, as can be confirmed by many real world examples.

I think you overinterpret that rule: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html I read it as referring to unfinished products that doesn't yet exist. What if you're making a Google Calendar extension? Wouldn't that be allowed as a Show HN?
