This is crazy - I've been working on a similar app that ties a daily journal with tasks & calendar (https://daybird.app). There's another one I saw recently called reflect.app as well. Note taking has been around forever, I wonder what it is about this space that's triggering so many new products. Anyways, Acreom looks fantastic, good luck with the launch!

Note-taking is a low-hanging fruit, and it's basically impossible to create the perfect solution for everyone. So there will always be a constant supply of new apps, catering to a new generation of users and trying out new paradigms, or reinventing old forgotten paradigms. The same happened 20 years ago, the same will still be happening in 20 Years. It's an endless circle.

Though, one notable difference is, that today it's easier than ever, to create high quality apps&services and share them. So we also see many more poor and half-assed solutions in absolute numbers, than 20 years ago.

As someone who has tried many the primary issue is that one has a good feature that the other lacks. I'm currently juggling between Supernova, Obsidian, Reflect, Daybridge and a few more but this really hits a sweet spot. Once I saw the calendar setup of Reflect I knew I wanted something like that but on the desktop but they are mac only atm. Speaking of which I want to try your app, any plans to drop a "native" version.
