Creator here. It's a pretty lightweight app, but would love to answer any questions / get feedback. I used Evernote to keep track of my ideas, but I found myself rearranging them into different categories too often. I find it nice having an app dedicated to my ideas, with the ability to group them and prioritize them by tapping on the dots.

@ptaylorsimpson Plot Twist: You're really evil and all of the ideas entered are sent back to your server where you cherry pick the best ones and create your own evil empire. The world never works out where you keep finding all of your inspiration, and you die as a revered genius with a legacy that lives on for centuries.

@rossdcurrie haha the app uses iCloud sync to back up ideas so I don't have access. Tim Cook is the only one who can steal your ideas

Interesting to see this, I really like Elevatr and on a first look I don't see a huge difference between these two apps… The name of the app is pretty cool Pete ;)

@redpandacan Yeah, I was definitely inspired by Elevatr and leanstack.com. The main differentiator for me was that I wanted something that was easy to categorize my ideas as well as give them sort of a priority from 0-10. Easier for me to compartmentalize I suppose for what sideproject I may want to work on next. Also keeps my insomnia fueled by always knowing what project to think about before bed ;)
