I've been looking for the perfect note taking application for a while and here are the things I'd really like that nobody else seems to have in one place (I understand that these things likely do not coincide with your goals but I thought I'd put them out there anyway on the offchance you implement them :) ):
- Strong (technical) security so that the server is a knowledge free environment (no staff, governments whatever can read my notes). Ideally through client-side encryption (perhaps the search would grab some tokens and send them to the server for processing, rather than having the plaintext document on the server). Perhaps the encryption should be optional and encrypted notes wouldn't be sent at all?
As a non-American, I _really_ don't like being forced to put my data on American servers where I essentially have no rights.
The alternative to this is having a way to specify that the note should remain offline (in localstorage or somesuch) and never touch the server.
- Ability to take the app offline and have it work mostly the same (without search of course)/
- Web clipping (see the Evernote web clipper) with image rehosting
- Markdown support
- Desktop client
- Client side plugins (these make the rest of the above much easier), ideally written in something like JS or Python.
- Full-featured API
I really just want something where I can feel like I'm in control. When I use most services it feels like I'm surrendering something (security, convenience, privacy, ownership of my data).
