The note-taking tool business is tricky. OS vendors have great versions included for free (Apple Notes, OneNote) and there is a surfeit for free and good-enough solutions.

It makes me fearful about the positioning of my own tool - https://thorny.io - an interactive notebook for decision making.

It could be categorised as a flavour of note-taking tool because it's like a cross between an outliner, a spreadsheet, and a logic-programming tool. If it is treated as a type of note-taking tool then it puts it into the red ocean. I'm not sure there is space for multiple note-taking tools in people's workflow. Spreading notes across tools would be a massive pain-point.
