There’s no business plan. I haven’t found a way to store notes on blogs without putting the notes on the cloud yet. Thanks!

so it's a note taking app that lacks any of the privacy features? Wordpress too lets me safe drafts and leaves it up to me whether I ever publish them. I wouldn't call wordpress a "note taking app". it's not a note-taking app if it sends everything to your servers. And it's a shame there is not a single word on security/privacy: how is data protected at rest? your password hashes salted? what is saved client-side vs…

Your feedback would have more value if it was not presented in such a harsh form. fyi.

You mean math symbols? Thought about doing that

Yes, please do! My job involves a lot of math, so it a dealbreaker for me when notetaking software doesn't have math support. These days it's very easy to include! The easiest way is to use KaTeX [1] to render math between dollar sign tags for inline math like this $x+y=5$ and for display math like this: $$ \int_a^b f(x) dx $$ Many markdown parsers (like markdown-it) have plugins for math support. In the future, I wo…

Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…

where does an Android app lie in your priorities?

Yeah, I think you’re right. I’ll remove the “ever made” there’s a lot of great stuff out there.

What you're communicating is your exuberance, not the fact that your mom makes the best lasagna in the world.

I clearly suck at copy text. I blame my ESL

Nice app! Delivering this in three weeks is very impressive. Mind sharing how you made the walkthrough video? I wanted to do something similar and yours really catches the eye.

I used Rotato which is fantastic!

Thanks!

People are building one using the API. It ranks after I'm satisfied with iOS + Web where I can iterate fast.
