Especially true for any sort of note taking/reference tool. If I’m on the hook for a subscription to access part of my brain, that is a _problem_.

Edit: granted, Muse looks gorgeous and I don’t mind paying for things. Just echoing subscription fatigue.

Exactly.

I have documents I wrote 30 years ago. Looks like this allows export as PDF, at least, but there is no planet on which I will voluntarily rent access to my own documents.

You'll be happy to know that Muse is designed to only gate creation of new documents on the membership, not access to anything you've already created. Lapsed memberships go into alumni mode where you can navigate, move, copy, and export everything.

I’m happier yet to know you’re involved! That at least gives me reason to believe Muse will be around for years.

Ah, that's an excellent approach, much friendlier than some subscriptionware I could name.

Thanks for the note.
