Valid concerns. Text notes are small so quota limits rarely hit in practice,
but silent data loss is indeed the critical failure mode for a notes app.
Also the main use-case for the app is to be used as a quick notepad rather than to archive data.
Current temporary mitigation: export to MD/PDF/TXT from the note menu.
For users who need real durability guarantees, the planned E2EE sync would provide redundancy across devices and our servers
What I'm adding in upcoming updates:
- Request navigator.storage.persist() on first use to prevent automatic eviction
- Monitor quota via navigator.storage.estimate() and warn when approaching limits
- Catch QuotaExceededError explicitly and prompt immediate export
- Periodic "backup reminder" for users who haven't exported recently
Really appreciate the specific pushback.
