                "note_description" : "You can optionally include descriptions. Otherwise, omit it or make its value null`",

                "Supports <b>text</b> <i>styles</i>",
                "And other stuff"
            ]
        },

        {
            "note_title"       : "More features!",
            "note_description" : null,
            "note_bullets"     :[
                "Do what ya want"
