Contributions benefiting both you and Org mode are certainly welcome.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend Metanote on
https://orgmode.org/tools.html page.

This page, unlike WORG wiki, is the official GNU Org mode web-page.

We, as a GNU project, are obliged to follow FSF guidelines, including
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Ethical-and-Philosophical-Consideration
that explicitly prohibit recommending non-Libre software.

Metanote is a closed source, non-Libre software and thus cannot be
recommended by us officially.
