Like many here, I've been working on one of these apps for years, off and on. Although I've been thinking deeply about it for some time, OP did such a great job describing the problems and conceptual space I'd have a hard time not just linking to it from my app's "why" page, should it ever exist. Really exciting to see so many others chasing this space, I honestly believe we'll see some really stellar contenders in the near future. And probably a few in parallel that suit different personality types better, which is great. I agree w/ most of OP, a few things I think should work differently. One to call out -- images. When I build prototypes without drag and drop image support, I find I quickly stop using it until I add support for them. It's just too useful on a computer to grab a screenshot of something or make a little diagram. This is especially true when I am in "thought dump" mode. I also played with append only and while its _usually_ sufficient, it is very annoying when not. I compromised by making it append by default, but easy enough to right click -> edit.
