I had to type out a list of projects for my week of vacation, so start typing away, click Create, then doh! 140 limit? Select all, cut, open Stickies, new sticky, paste, quit.
Would be great if larger stickies could be created. Or if you are going to have a 140 limit, have a character counter there somewhere.
If you choose the freemium route, you could give away to bloggers and alike, free premium accounts for them and for their readers. It is a great promotion tactic.
I'd definitely be interested once you got an Android app up and running - I use Evernote on Android and web heavily at the moment, and tried Springpad for a while (until it screwed up a sync and deleted all my notes, grr!)
Back when I was in Uni I used the analogue version of this: a big whiteboard next to my desk with stuff pinned to it or written in little lists, as well as using a sticky note app on my laptop. Pocket's visuals really remind me of that, in a good way, and from the teaser it looks like it would be really good for at-a-glance reminders and suchlike.
HN - I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this app. Would you use it? What do you think of the user interface? What could be improved? How does it compare to similar apps? I’m ready for your (hopefully constructive) criticisms! For the record – all of the design, programming, and imagining was done by me =] == Experience & Motivation Pocket was developed to scratch a personal itch - a very itchy itch. I am…
> I am aware that the note app space is extremely crowded, but I have been thoroughly unimpressed with everything I’ve seen.
Personal itches are the best way to get started. After all, if your dissatisfied with what is out there, chances are, other people are as well. One of the worst things you could ever do is assume that just because a space is crowded means it's full.
as i scrolled down the page, I lost the text to image connection. where does the text belong to, the image above or below.
does not show the mobile interface. or is it just a website that you call "app"?
Passwordless signup or guest mode would be good - I want to try your app however I do not want to commit yet by creating a nother password. Perhaps link it to ip + username and once logged in have the option to enable any other ip using a password?

I agree with LRM about the logo... little too dark. Didn't even realize it was there. For your issues: 1) Try using Authlogic ( https://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic ) to handle users/passwords... It's a great solution and is super easy to implement. Once you have Authlogic, use this ( http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/16/tutorial-reset-passwor... ) to figure out password resets. 2) Dunno about this... Twilio + s…

I would recommend Devise over Authlogic as it doesn't pollute your application with as much generated code...
Edit: By the way, GREAT first product. Congrats and Good Luck.
