The makers of Octopus Note have created an interesting product, Markdown Tree: https://markdowntree.com
It reminds me a bit of TreeSheets. It looks like a nice notetaking tool and outliner. I am enjoying the interface.

Interesting. I’m leery of sites that cannot be explored without first authenticating with Google credentials—I’ve no doubt the “awesome team based in London” is chill, but one never knows. Maybe they will add a demo site that doesn’t require giving away credentials first.

How do we know this is from the “makers of Octopusnote”? The last time I checked OctopusNote was a part-time project of a Lithuanian IT guy working at a bank in Lithuania.
Also, the English is not quite right on the About page. Presumably the “team in London” would have got it proofread by a native speaker?

It does look quite elegant. Another interesting option that’s just come out of beta is Milanote (milanote.com), which is kind of like Curio on the Mac, except not as comprehensive and - for some reason - lacking a search function. But it’s nicely done, nonetheless, and doesn’t demand your inside leg measurement.

Ah, Milanote. It does look pretty. Pretty pricey too for more than the barest account —$144 USD annual, minimum. Milanote is built on MongoDB—a product whose users recently experienced a wide-scale ransomware attack because the database administrators did not understand how to lock it down. I believe close to 2,000 sites were knocked down as a result.
Milanote’s privacy policy is also quaint: “There are only two people at Milanote who have access to the production database, and we have strict policies to prevent them from accessing user data.”. It’s somewhat hard to believe in things like that.
