The $50k loan will fund full-time development. I have been working part time on this project for some time now. At some point you need to transition.

  If you've been working for some time, why are you asking questions about whether it should be online or not? Surely you've figured out the basics of how it'll work and how it'll be different from every other note-taking medium long ago.

    The question is to help gauge how important it is to people to have access to their ideas online. Indeed, the product will be primarily a desktop application. With the option to 'selectively sync' SOME of your notes online. Knowing how many people prefer everything online will help establish a priority for these online features early on.

      Surely in this day and age, it really needs to be at least cloned to the cloud. People almost expect web-based / cloud stuff now with mobile devices and multiple places they will want access to their notes. I'm still trying to work out how you are going to differentiate with the likes of Evernote and co though.

        Of course. And the way I'd like to do that is by decentralizing the data. Empowering the users to sync notes on their own terms (ie- your Mindfolder can reside in your Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc). So that in itself touches upon the major differentiator from Evernote and other 'cloud note' providers . Not everyone wants their most deepest desires & ideas in the cloud.
