Collected Notes

Congrats on the launch! Very straight to the point landings, quick and transparent onboarding… nice work! 🙌 Here you have some feature suggestions. Probably you already have considered implementing them, but just in case it serves as inspiration, there you go 😊: * Unified editing experience. I think Caret (abandoned, https://caret.io/4beta/) nailed it on this * Automatic 301 redirect from the previous note URL to the new one once updating its title * Easiness handling images (being able to search on Giphy/Unsplash and embed them) * User avatar (importing it from Google account i.e.) showing up on site header * Specify which limits the basic accounts have in the Premium landing * G Drive sync as Markdown files * Emoji key trigger. Having something like Rocket (https://matthewpalmer.net/rocket/) makes it easier than using the System emoji dialog and it would be a simillar experience, but not all the people use this kind of apps and shortcuts. Promoting it with a keymap shortcut such as ":" may be a quick win 😬

Hello Hunters 😊 Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and others publish them on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” Long story short, I started a private beta a couple weeks ago and more than 700 people signed up. This past Saturday I enabled paid subscriptions and more than 30 people became premium with ten folks migrating their personal blogs to it! 🤯 It seems there’s demand for an easy to use native note taking app that can serve as an online publishing platform. A place where you can use your own domain and update your notes right from your phone. Of course, this is just a theory, so I would love to see if you all find it useful. You can learn all about it at https://collectednotes.com — Features: ⠀- Simplicity. ⠀- Markdown with live preview. ⠀- Custom Domains. ⠀- No ads, no tracking, no modals, no vanity, no nonsense. ⠀- No data lock-in. Export your notes from day one. ⠀- Restful API, Your Notes in different formats. ⠀- Native experience iPhone & iPad: ⠀⠀Share extension, Quick actions, FaceID, Quick Actions, Keychain, Keyboard shortcuts, Slide Over & Split View, Dark Mode. Sample note: https://collectednotes.com/blog/... Would love to hear what you all think 😊

Another reason I built this is that no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they shouldn't be the ones paying to read. - Most note taking apps were too complex and feature creep. I wanted speed + power with simplicity first. - Apps are either online or offline, none tried to mix those two models seamlessly. - Blogs are either static (I need to be on my laptop and code) or use CMS which are too general and complex.
