Is there a good reason for one's Apple Notes to be turned into a "website"? (NB: there's something more meant here than notes-as-a-website, since that implies little more than than "your notes, but with URLs". "Website" is being used here as a euphemism for something else—something more than that alone.) Is that better than your website being a collection of notes?

It seems that the note is the preferred form of interaction, following straightforwardly from the concept of revealed preference—else those in the target audience wouldn't actually be choosing the notes every day, when they could be choosing not-notes.

So that's the value proposition here: taking the thing that its users like more and exchanging it for something that they like less.
