As someone who writes daily (primarily novels), I can’t say this has been an issue for me but I may not yet understand your approach. The site does not make it clear what would be different about note taking in your system.
Things I like about iA Writer and are holding me back from your approach is
- don’t quite understand the differentiation you’re describing here, not in the web copy either
- where do my files live? Unclear with your solution, and I need full ownership of my data to feel comfortable
- business model: iA is a one-time payment for cloud syncing out of the box, this looks like you’re angling for a subscription but what justifies that value?
I don’t like to criticize prematurely, but from someone who’s looked at a ton of tools in this space it’s not yet clear to me what you’re delivering that would get me to switch. Hopefully this is helpful criticism. Good luck!
