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.
@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.
@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 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.
@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 :)
@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!
@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!
@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!
