i stan apple notes, so i built a new personal website to look, feel, & work just like it. it's fast, fully interactive, & can be navigated entirely via keyboard shortcuts. it was a lot of fun to build. i wrote more about the implementation in the linked page.

This is really cool. I didn't expect to be able to make my own note.

I wondered what your top page would be, and it seems to redirect to /about-me. Did you try any other ideas for a top page? I guess that's an interesting problem since the Notes app doesn't have a top page.

nit: the word "accessibility" is misspelled in your acknowledgments. Looks like a cool project!

Now you just need a typeface with the distinctive alternate lower-case A :-)

I tried to click on the gear icon, thinking it was settings menu. It's not very clear that it's an icon associated with the post.

Looks nice, but scrolling is buggy on iOS Safari. There seems to be a nested scrollable area which doesn’t scroll properly when flinging up or down.
