$8 million in seed money (as of 2019) will do that to an app.
I just make private boards on Pinterest, which has clipper extensions for all browsers.
A more powerful option is Miro, which has a free tier (but only 3 Boards), and then gets pricey.

I think you can see where the overlap is, the question is how much you need the additional linking features, and how much you're willing to migrate to apps with pretty restricted typography/theming co...
I think it's more that given that over 90% of Google's revenue comes from advertising, their modus operandi has been to expand into areas for limited periods, while never admitting it, in a throw-spag...

Thanks for the link. I got the clipper to work on the Mac in Safari immediately, and Firefox the 2nd or 3rd time I tried. Brave took 4 attempts but now it works, but only by opening a new blank tab af...

Good to hear. I emailed Support over the weekend about some rough edges I found. I've been using it daily for some types of notes and I like the app, and I look forward to the discussed web clipper an...

On the Mac I cannot search within a note. If I'm in one note and I do a search, and the result is in another note, I'm popped into the main window with the search term in that other note highlighted i...

Re-downloaded the app and played with it for a few hours. It seems interesting and certainly worth it for the price (one-time charge just $5 more than Bear's annual charge?!), I'm not dazzled by it.
