Could you build this?
Partial While basic note-taking is standard, supporting seamless local-first cross-platform native apps (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, web, CLI) alongside handwriting OCR and complete Evernote import requires significant engineering breadth.
What it would actually take: The system requires a robust CRDT/local-first synchronization protocol (e.g., ElectricSQL, Yjs, or SQLite sync via Automerge) deployed across multiple native client wrappers (Swift, Kotlin, Rust/Electron/Tauri). Additionally, it demands an on-device or cloud OCR pipeline capable of handwritten text recognition and parsing complex proprietary Evernote XML archives. Building and maintaining 7 distinct platform targets with conflict-free offline-first sync demands an experienced systems and client engineering team.
