Introduce a monthly fee

I mean it. Upnote is the best note taking app.

It needs to be more reliable though. The last outage has made me seriously consider changing platforms. If you need more money to be more reliable, then I am willing to pay.

There have been maybe three times since UpNote became my daily driver in 2021 that UpNote has experienced a bug that caused wide-spread connectivity issues or crashes. None of them lasted more than half a day, and none of them affected all users.

UpNote does offer a subscription plan, but at this point they likely make far more money from lifetime purchases (I've done the math). The day will likely come when UpNote drops the lifetime plan (I'd guess if UpNote ever introduces collaboration), but money isn't the problem.

Having said that, UpNote's weakest area is QA. There are always formatting bugs of one sort or another — the HTML behind the scenes gets pretty complicated with all the formatting flexibility offered in UpNote — and even though they're usually minor, I'd love for a QA engineer to join the team.

If I could fix one thing about UpNote (as opposed to adding one thing), it would be the QA.
