[NTLK] Very bare-bones note package to play with

[Reilly001os at aol.com]

I was thinking of an app working directly on
the notes soup not an app working through
notes. For the folder structure I was thinking
how many apps use the overall folder 
structure you setup in notes so there must be
a way to access that outside of notes.
