For notes, it seems like most people have settled on one of three things: org-mode, markdown, or free form plain text. There are some closed source tools that use a proprietary format, but fuck them.
So then the question becomes what does the backend do? Provide a way to query notes for links, topics, and todos? Keep a versioning system? Synchonization? Something else? Answer those questions and you have a project.
For references, take a look at nb, Joplin, Logseq, org-mode, anytype.
Eh, that looks like typical take home for a staff level engineer in a big city.
Edit: Assuming they get paid every two weeks, that’s an annual take home of $161,122. Depending on state taxes, insurance coverage, 401k contributions, dependents, etc, that’s a base salary of $200-250k. Which, yeah, that’s what I budget for a staff salary.
