Could you share some of the most interesting and unexpected uses of Nototo that you have encountered thus far?
Since we only publically launched yesterday, we haven't gotten the chance to chat with the users yet! I'll keep u posted :)
shame on he who thinks evil of it ;)
Why does this have to be a cloud app? Just make a great app, sell it for download for ten bucks, and go away. Repeat this if you come up with more awesome ideas.
I think given the amount of manpower we had, it was the best choice to make the browser version first. If we desperately want a desktop version, we can use Electron or some tools to convert the browser version into a desktop version. The performance may not be the greatest, but it's cheap. We can do the same for iOS and Android.
This may just be me, but I feel like the app is somewhat like my kid. This may make it tough if we need to ditch the app or pivot one day, but yea...great question!
Their pricing page really bothers me: > We are just three engineering students in an apartment living room, eating lentils everyday, and spending every waking moment of our lives trying to make Nototo into something that people love. > Therefore, we really can't afford to spend time and figure out the best way to take money from you. I really dislike this trend of "formulating a business plan for our business isn't i…

We kind of scrambled that page together quickly because we wanted to get launch and get users as quickly as possible. Designing a pricing system may not take too long, but implementation would have delayed our launch date quite a bit and we really didn't want to delay the launch any further.
I think our lack of professionalism can also be an upside. It kind of allows me to create a personal relationship with some of our hardcore users and talk to them in order to guide the development direction of the app.
All in all, I appreciate the criticism!
Since this seems tailored for remembering content, it might be nice if you published some content in this format rather than just having it be a blank note-taking tool. For ex, let people explore a world that represents a biology textbook, or drivers-ed manual, or something else that commonly needs to be studied & memorized.
You could integrate it into the site a bit as well and display release notes or your blog.
So what happens when I fill up an island and I want to capture an idea in the proper place RIGHT NOW? Especially if I've got it surrounded by other islands. Aw shit, I just lost my fragile new idea while getting distracted by landscaping. Also holy crap the body type in these notes is microscopic.
Great point! The idea of running out of real estate is something that we thought quite a bit about in the beginning. So, we used to have somewhat like a tag system that we thought would lower the friction required to make a note. Where you can open up a notebook anywhere and we'll put it on the correct island for you after #tag it. But it kinda defeated the purpose of this app, for people to place their notes down li…
Right click can be context menu for changing color/placing objects etc.
Hey! I'm actually one of the makers of Nototo. I'm quite surprised to find my own project trending on HackerNews! If anyone has questions feel free to ask me here! or at chen@nototo.app

Also, the number of people requesting a native app for purchase and talking about pricing… Something isn’t right here.
