Well to address the elephant in the room. There is no world that I wouldn’t or shouldn’t be automatically fired for putting notes between myself and my employer in a none approved website I found on the web.

It won't be today but my goal is to earn a place on your org's approved list one day and win you as a customer :-)
Relatedly, I've had a few requests for a self hosted version already and will be offering this very soon as a priority. If that'd solve the issue also, please email me at davnicwil at gmail and I will update you when it's available.
I hate to be mean. But you never will earn a place as a one man unknown developer to be an offering at my company and be a place where we put all of our information for both confidentially reasons and we wouldn’t trust the long term viability of your company.
We already use Lattice for performance notes, peer to peer feedback and it’s a place where we put notes for our 1:1s. It integrates with Slack to remind us to enter topics before the meeting, etc.
Even with all of those objections, you won’t get anywhere in corporate America with your product unless you offer SSO. It’s not that hard to do.
I have recommended a one man SaaS once in my career to something that was critical to what I needed for a large company critical initiative. But we got lawyers involved and negotiated our own instance and the code be put in escrow with a third party that we would get access to under certain circumstances. We were going to be 70% of his post sign in revenue and growing.
Yeah, so there's no way to make a new company? Unless you're directly bought by Atlassian because they are "known enough"?
I don't know Lattice so I would not use it.

That may be true for enterprise customers but there's still a big market of midsize companies without such stringent vendor requirements.

On the contrary, I do appreciate the blunt reminder of the challenges. I'm just launching and there's some path ahead to get to the place where larger orgs could use Docket, but as I say it's my goal to get there.
That's a you-problem, not a general defect.
And I say that from a similar situation: I can't bring ANY executable onto my computer without corporate IT approval. Even as an untouched file.
But that isn't common in most companies.

You do realise the internet vastly surpasses the reach of corporate america. There are another 7.5 billion people out there that aren't American that would possibly use this. You don't need American users to be a big company. If it is a good idea, it is a good idea.

Cuz of exactly this reason i couldnt find any solution like that for me yet, so i started building my own one. I think the only way something like this is practical is in an on-premise scenario
And what do you think your company would say about you putting their proprietary content in your own self hosted and self built product?
Everything has to start somewhere. Or should we just freeze software where it is today?
Is my market analysis flawed? You don’t start with premise “hey I’m trying to create something where I need your company to trust me with all of your proprietary company data and strategy”.
