Earlier quoted context omitted.

It was a bug I frequently encountered when developing websites that support Korean.

Do you know what causes this? I'm really curious!

its an IME bug and software is ripe with them. you need to do a check to see if the user “isComposing” (i think is the function). because enter is used in IME to pick characters based on input. its the same with japanese and chinese. whole slew of US based SaaS products never deal with it and it makes input unbearable for these languages.

As a notetaker who likes new apps, but has tried them all, I was impressed by this.

Your version reminds me of OneNote when it was new and good and not horrible. Being able to place your notes where you want them is such a radical concept.

The features you have are simple and the idea of stacking notes is really cool and don't think I've seen that done before.

Oh! TIL! Thanks for sharing that, I don't do web stuff much these days but will keep it in mind next time I do.

Congratulations on shipping your app! I like the design and the concept of avoiding forced hierarchy like folders etc. I think this concept is worth building on even more. For example do users really need a rigid hierarchy like post-it vs A4? What would happen if I would be able to click anywhere on the canvas and immediately write down the thought (just like in MS OneNote) and format this text after writing it down…

yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Maybe ill add a double tap anywhere on the canvas to create a sticky note kinda thing. Thanks for the feedback! really appreciate it!

Looks cool, but I can't sign up. I enter my email and password, and I see the error "Google sign-in isn't enabled. Turn it on in Firebase Console...". But I'm not trying to use Google sign in.

oh that's my bad. I just fixed it, should be working fine now.
