co-founder here: Just a little context on the "why" from the site - > We created lowercase as a side project to make it easier for folks to quickly share content without the pressure of having the perfect blog post. Sometimes you just want to share thoughts without worrying about styling and hosting. Ideas aren't always structured. And sometimes simple and easy is what you need. > A note-taking app that is simple, fun to use, snappy, and easy on the eyes. There is no one perfect note-taking tool. Everyone has their preferences. But we feel that we've landed on something nice. > We built lowercase in our spare time as a passion project. No funding. > We decided from the very beginning that we'd never collect or share any user data. We don't even use website analytics. The intent of lowercase is to stay lean and serve a purpose - make it easier to share thoughts in sometimes ever-evolving documents.

I think the sharing features are the most interesting part to me. Google Keep has extremely fast load times and an Android optimized UI, plus home screen widgets and Wear OS, so it would be hard to replace that for personal notetaking. But very quick sharing and collaboration is still not quite a solved problem.
