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 o…

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!

I wish you had created this a couple of years ago! I wasted a lot of time then trying different note-taking apps for a personal writing project. I ended up doing it all in a text editor, as every app I tried failed in one way or another. Collected Notes would have been perfect.

Very minor bug report (which I don’t mind at all): during the signup process on mobile, I clicked “premium subscription” and then pressed the back button. The form was wiped, so I had to re-enter my info. I imagine many people might give up after that, so I just wanted to mention it. Another minor bug: when toggling private to public on mobile, the drop down menu doesn’t go away after you press public. It also blocks…

Ah good catch, mobile experience is very MVP, I only focused on the web for desktop use. For mobile iOS native is the way to go I went crazy on the native features :) Thank you so much!

Oh you can download your notes easily under profile. It will send you a .zip file with all your markdown files!

Google Analytics I won’t add. In fact I don’t even use it for the site. I don’t want to track people. But views counts will come soon.

Tried it on my iPod Touch. Would not let me use my email address. No response when I try to touch the small text at the bottom of the screen.

Oh sorry about that, didn’t test on that device. Will take a look and fix for the next update!

I think you should work on eliminating the perception of a publish step.

Everyone else is working how to best publish things and you stumbled on the solution: there is no publish.

The copy url option screen after publishing reminded me there is a publish. I think transparently use a Share option to share the url and have a share option under the notebook title.

Great concept.

The sample note is private, I did not realise this until my second session. I’d set it to public to illustrate the point above.

Well, view counts would work. Cool to hear that I can get the markdown. Is there any way to insert arbitrary html? Then I can put whatever I need.

Maybe as a premium feature under my domain?

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.

> It’s not intended for very sensitive data.

I hope you don't take this as a criticism, just feedback, because your product looks quite nice and if I weren't such a worry-wart, I'd probably subscribe.

My issue with all notetaking applications is that all of my notes are "very sensitive data" to me. I treat my notes repository like a combination diary, scratchpad (where I plop things like temporary passwords and API keys), and memory dump. I know it's probably unreasonable--you seem trustworthy at first glance--but I have this pretty big fear of my notes store accidentally leaking or even just an admin trawling where they shouldn't and reading stuff I've noted down.

Like you, I'm still on the hunt for "the perfect notetaking system" but my A-number-1-highest-priority feature requirement is self-hosting on my own hardware. If you offered that, even for a fee, I'd probably buy it because it looks quite nice.

Really well done, especially for such a shorty turn around.

I'm not sure I buy your reasoning though. I could be wrong, but I believe Notion does have native apps now. Also, despite not being dedicated to note-taking, it doesn't keep you from publishing simple, complexity-free, notes to the web.
