Testing my luck that it will work on Windows - though I'm doubtful given the Mac-orientated mockups and that cool/useful tools like this never find their way onto Windows. :(

This is the one thing I've wanted from note taking software that I haven't found elsewhere (admittingly, I also haven't looked very hard)

"Mac-orientated mockups"

Looked like the mockup was made on Ubuntu. (Orange highlighting and cursor)

I could have sworn Ubuntu retained the top right min/max/close buttons. I guess it's just been that long since I've used a Linux distro.

Either way - it sure wasn't Windows. So I'm testing my luck that it is cross-platform. :)

Yes, the videos were made on Ubuntu and Chrome, but to avoid distractions they were cut and inserted in an abstract browser imitation.

OctopusNote is a web app. I am targeting all desktop and mobile platforms, so a web app is the only option. Eventually there will be native apps for Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android. But for now the top priority is to finish the beta version.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I'd mention somewhere that it is a web app! Other Window users might be less inclined to take a dive if they think it is going to be Linux/Mac only due to the mockup.
