Password protected note is a very complex project, which you’ll have to solve for desktop, mobile and cli (since they all sync with each others).

i don’t think so single person can solve it in 3 months it include lots of state management and complexity.

Sound challenging 🙂 i think we have to start early.  
is code base is same to all env like code structure and database..? (i just explored react native)
