Hello!
Thanks to everyone for your comments. Our group will meet soon to discuss some of them

I have read many glowing reports about Grandview or PCoutline. Is there a way to still run this software so I can test it? I had trouble learning much about it. Reading how it works is not the same as trying it.

What did these applications offer that EccoPro does not offer? Or, better yet, what did they offer that InfoQube does not offer?

No need to apologize for seeming to sound negative. You are being realistic and if we were smart, we’d probably not go ahead with this project.
We are not going to try to compete with Evernote. That’s impossible. Personally, I greatly dislike ‘cloud’ software and the idea of putting my data on someone else’s server. There appear to be many smaller developers out there apparently satisfied with their smallish base of customers.

We have are mainly interested in making something for Linux that will also operate on other operating systems. And it will be open source—a drawing point that tends to attract quite a bit of support. Unlike the big players, we’re not in it for the money.

I’ll greatly look forward to all suggestions and comments!
