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…

I like it. Your video walkthrough is good. Can I edit my notes / blog from a desktop?

I had to look around for the walkthrough video and later realized that tapping on the icon on the top left launches it. There was no indication or clue for me on mobile that the icon was a link to a video.

Great app, congrats on launching. Usability and User focus 10/10. How secure is this app? Care to let us in on the specifics?

Thank you! What specifically? It’s not intended for very sensitive data. Much prefer the note/blog use case.

Congrats on the launch, and you have an outstanding MVP here. I think it is priced well, considering that I would normally run something similar on a $5/month server for file syncing.

I'm a compulsive note-taker and frequent writer, so this is something I will personally be taking advantage of. The blogging feature is interesting, but I'm actually going to experiment with using it to replace my current use of Notes on iOS/Mac and Typora.

I'm curious if your development path includes Desktop. I've been between Ulysses and Typora for years now. Neither covers the entirety of my file syncing, desire to access from a browser or cross platform needs.

I really think you're on to something here. Best of luck!

Thank you so much! I planned to ship a macOS app together with the iOS apps but can’t do everything in three weeks and two kids :) It’s definitely something I want to myself. For now the web version works fine for the occasional long form posting. Let me know how it goes!
