Review my app: Rmmbr.

#1

Post by sahillavingia »

Here's the URL: http://rmmbrapp.appspot.com/

Rmmbr lets you easily create notes. Type in whatever permalink you'd like to use and it'll create one if it doesn't exist. I use it to replace the Life.txt I've had on my desktop for ages.

It truly is an MVP. I'll add more features soon, but nothing crazy. I dig simplicity.

Stats: took me 30 minutes to build using Python and App Engine. Tweeted it and told my friends, over 100s of notes already.

I'd love feedback on what you'd like to see added or changed. Thanks!

How is this better than your Life.txt file on your desktop? If it's for sharing, how is it better than a github gist for example.

If you want to continue working on it; at least add some syntax; a "not-in-a-textarea-view-mode" and such.

It's better because I can have many of them, and I can easily access them from whatever device or computer I'm on.

It's very simple right now, but it does what I need. Perhaps I'll add features like you've suggested, but right now I'm happy with the textarea + ability to add tabs.

Thanks for the feedback though, code highlighting may make sense to implement in the future :)

nice app, but I wish you chose another name... http://rmmbr.appspot.com/

Yeah, just was brainstorming and built the app, then looked for whatever name would kinda fit. I am going to use http://rmmbr.org/ though, as people will clearly get annoyed having to type appspot.com.

For some of us non-native English speakers,"rmmbr" might be difficult to remember.
