Maybe it's my ignorant paranoia - but entering my google password into a login box produced by an app i just downloaded makes me nervous. I am (mostly) sure it was doing a legitimate OAuth - but how can I tell?
For this reason it was a hard no, I proceeded no further and deleted the app.
Your positioning could be tightened. Revise your tagline to state your product differentiation. Why shouldn't I use an established product like Notion, Coda, or Obsidian? Don't make users think. If they have to, they'll go with the status quo, not you. I also picked up the lawyer vibe and I think you should lean right into it. You could say Script: the text editor for lawyers , then explain how your UX support lawyer…
I’m not a lawyer, but while making some assumptions I bet they would love some auto-formatted references. Maybe as part of some LexisNexis integration? Just log in with oauth and work like you normally do, the bibliography will stay up to date depending on what’s added and removed. Could even highlight content that appears to be unreferenced.
I’m sure some sort of review+approval process is pretty common in law offices, build it in! Pitch it as a way to cut out confusing email threads, but still keep a traceable record of reviews and decisions.
Someone already mentioned it in this thread, but “script” is a pretty unsearchably generic name. If you go for lawyers, now you can go hard on a Latin name. Nothing really stopping you from doing that with any other kind of user, but lawyers seem to love their Latin.
Boy oh boy, HN loves their note-taking apps. I guarantee I'd hit the front page by just using the title "Show HN: Markdown note-taking app written in Rust." More to the point, is there any reason you're hijacking the browser scrollbar (Windows 11, Brave) or is that a bug on my end? And to be completely honest here, the app looks completely uninspiring. It looks clinical (in a bad way) and lacks any sort of identity o…
I love a text editor app and I’m always happy to try out new ones, especially one that looks like it might be useful in extracting meaning from text or linking ideas and relationships between documents. I also like the cleanness of the design and the illustrations are fun - definitely a cut above the usual Corporate Memphis. However, and this was the deal-breaker for me, there was no mention of the cost or licensing…
I want to know:
- Where they're based
- are they in the EU?
- are they from a stable country?
- what's the time zone difference?
- Whether they're owned by a larger, more established company
- What their other/past products are
- How long they've been in business
- etc...
"Proprietary syntax highlighting system" is absolutely a deal-killer here. That would be the thing that would make me stand up and say "avoid this like the plague." Figure out how to do this without doing that. Obsidian did.
Some (hopefully) constructive feedback. UI looks great. FWIW I don't dislike the "cartoon people" as per the other comment - much more original than the usual stock illustrations you see. But... I wouldn't get as far as downloading this without having a much clearer idea of whether this is a standalone app - fully offline - or some sort of cloud/SaaS service ala Notion, with a desktop client. The integrations and the…
