We both are on the same page here I guess! Wish to discuss more?

In my opinion, the early adopters are going to give it a shot anyways whether it has a good user interface or not, so you should just let it be a ugly prototype and focus on the functionality in the initial stages. Try and keep a simple interface, but don't try and make it attractive, just build in the minimalistic of it. Go put it out and take feedback and if the response on functionality is good, re iterate and make the interface better.

Have you tried Google Keep? It solves all purposes you mentioned.

There's this introduction to algorithms course by MIT course ware which I found useful while I was learning. You can see it here: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput... The video lectures are pretty good!
