I've been using the app daily for the last few weeks from @kane and it's now embedded in my workflow. Very simple utility for folks who often email themselves notes or reminders.

@daveambrose I'm curious but why not just write the note inside of evernote or write the reminders in your reminders?
Tyler Hayes
@johnnyquachy I don't make Noto but I make Slapshot (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) so I feel at least somewhat-but-not-at-all qualified to answer this... It's because you want to remember it later. No one remembers to check their notes later. Using the Reminders app is too many steps.

I use Captio for quickly emailing notes to myself. It also keeps a record of your recent notes, $2 on iOS. What makes Noto different?
Kane Hsieh
@ashrust 1) $0 2) multi-email support 3) we update our features :)
Ash Rust
@kane Nice... 2 - would be great to do direct app integrations - ie add as asana task or fire IFTT event.
Kane Hsieh
@ashrust Yup, there's a long tail of cool integrations we can tackle - @hsukenooi recommended Squarespace Notes as an app that already does some. For us, we'll start rolling out slowly and carefully - this was designed to be minimum effort and config, so we don't to bury it with feature bloat!

@kane Good call. I don't use Squarespace Notes for anything else but the email part.
Ash Rust
@kane The speed and ease of setup on captio, is certainly a big draw for me but I do want opt-in complexity. About 50% of the time I use it, I end up then forwarded that email to Asana. If email was default but 2 taps allowed me to send it elsewhere (only if configured), that's something I'd pay for.

I've been using Squarespace Note for the past few months: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/... Gonna give this a shot!
Solene Maître
It's awesome! I am always taking notes as email. I had this idea a few months ago, I'm glad they made it :)
Greg Rosen
Have been an avid user and tester for a while. A great and more powerful alternative to captio. Great work @kane and @danielsuo :)
Kane Hsieh
Thanks @daveambrose. Actively taking feedback!
Solene Maître
@kane Congrats! I really like the simplicity. A few suggestions: - Adding a subject with a tag so you can easily sort out these notes in your inbox - ability to add more than one picture - Adding location and times in the signature would be great - keep it as simple as it is :)
Kane Hsieh
@SoleneMa Thanks! - We prefix [Noto] by default, and it's customizable in Settings :) - We've thought few a few UIs for this, but they are all more complex than what we have. It's on our feature consideration list for 1.1 - We actually killed timestamps bc emails generate them by default. Geolocation is nifty, will add to consideration. Why timestamps if you don't mind me asking? - Roger!
Solene Maître
@kane - For the subject, I'd suggest to retrieve the first word/sentence that you write on the first line. So that even if you don't consider writing a subject it'd take the first words of the first line. Look up at day one, the first sentence is the title of the note and it works well. - Why timestamps? because if I fwd the notes or copy/paste, I'd love to have it directly on the note. But I can understand that it is a minor use case. I'd be happy to test any updates if you have a beta release!
Kane Hsieh
@SoleneMa right now, the first line does become the subject - anything under a line break is in body only! Is that what you're asking?
Solene Maître
@kane yes, perfect. I get "no subject" when I sent pictures. That's what bugged me around.
David Lee
excited to see this in android!
Kane Hsieh
@davidlee us too - unfortunately, we don't have much Java talent on hand. I reached out to http://www.apportable.com/ to see if they can be helpful - the app is really simple, so hopefully one of these newfangled converters work!
Kevin Kwok
@kane I know people at apportable--so if we're serious let's discuss.
Ryan
I use it everyday. Much like. Thank you @kane
Kane Hsieh
Tagging @danielsuo here - he gets credit for most of the heavy lifting in code :)
David Spinks
I was thinking someone should make this! Exactly how I use email too. Excited to use this.
