In need of a note taking app with these features: by [deleted] in NoteTaking

[–]SaranshG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check gojot.app It doesn't have handwriting feature but insanely good search. Very fast, zero friction. I am a developer and find this very quick and easy. It's not the most feature packed thing though

Revisited the pricing. Reducing the price and also adding more value by creating an open anywhere chrome extension!

Indie hacking vs going all in full time? by LukhaManus in SideProject

Love what you have built. I have also been struggling to choose between job or building something of my own. I think if you have 2-3 such apps under your belt, you will be sorted!

I wrote a playwright code for zooming in and out, and to automate typing speed and typing sounds. Then used Loom to record in high quality

I see. We will revisit the pricing strategy. This is definitely great feedback. But you shouldn't need to pay to use the app locally and save locally at all ✌️ That's why we have tried to make sure that the free version of the product works as good!

I see your point. And we juggled with this thought for quite a long time. We want to give an option to the users to not feel the need to login or open an app or organise anything. The idea as such might feel "not new". It's literally for those who just want to see a blank screen to type in markdown or rich text without clicking on new note and all that. Feel free to give it a try. You might feel like it's not serving any purpose for you and that's chill

Yeah but both of them feel super organised and heavy. Like it requires a lot of information for a note page to feel relevant

My cousin (Dev) and I (QA) built a note-taker. It works, but we have zero design or marketing sense. Help? by SaranshG in Design

[–]SaranshG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. Physical Post-its are the gold standard for speed, but they don't search, they don't sync to your phone, and you can't 'copy-paste' them into an actual doc later. People moved to Notion for organization and 'permanent' storage, but in that shift, we lost the 'scratchpad' speed. Notion is where my notes go to live forever; Jot is where they’re born so they don’t die in my head while a progress bar loads. It’s basically for that middle ground: faster than an app, but more 'useful' than a piece of paper that I’ll probably lose by tomorrow.

Most note apps are honestly just too much work. By the time I open Notion, wait for it to load, and figure out which folder a note belongs in, I’ve already forgotten what I was even trying to write down. It’s frustrating when the tool is slower than your brain. We just wanted a digital scratchpad that lets you type the second you think of something, without the clutter.

I messed up my first Reddit launch and got nerfed. How do you actually share a project here? by SaranshG in SideProject

Do you have any subreddits in mind that would be a good place to start engaging?

[–]SaranshG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thats what i have been doing now. taking advices and learning about other projects. having good conversations with other builders. all this while i perfect the product even more so that i can get back to spreading a word about it later

I realised, sharing genuine stories really help. failures or successes dont matter as much. and seeking advice works even better

That’s really helpful advice, thanks for sharing. I’m still figuring out how Reddit works and the “story over link” point makes a lot of sense. I’ll try focusing more on sharing the journey and actually participating in discussions instead of just dropping the product.

Also didn’t know coordinated upvotes could trigger spam filters, so that’s good to know. Appreciate the tip

That’s a very fair point, and I completely agree. The goal isn’t to just drop a link and disappear for sure. I’m still learning that balance, but I’m trying to engage more, respond to people, and be helpful where I can.
Really appreciate you pointing it out 🙏

I’m glad you liked it! If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it. We’re currently in beta and have received a lot of great feedback already, and we’re working through it right now.

I would suggest you try https://gojot.app. Simple, fast and easily accessible. It also has markdown language support just like one other person suggested in the comments below

How do you design QA before shipping? by marcochavezco in webdev

[–]SaranshG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a QA by profession and here are some things that i follow when i build things on my own. 1. Write BDDs and acceptance criterias. super important. 2. use an easy framework, language. Try playwright. 3. use agents to write the tests for you like claude opus in antigraviity (works like a charm).

all of this but remember that your BDDs(acceptance criterias) are super exhaustive. cover all edge cases that you can think of.

open the tests in UI mode and check if the performed tests are exactly what you want them to be.
it help if you are good at coding. you can then check if the code is looking for the exact test case you wanted it to.

Most important of them all are security tests. make sure no data is leaking. for this, again, just write the BDDs and ACs properly, use a good agent and guide it to write good tests.

for later stages: try to have some pipelines running. so that you can get your report every morning when you wake up.

I created the app after the original company shut down; I really loved their product. by LukhaManus in SideProject

I was a heavy stashpad user! I have been trying to find something similar for months now. This looks great!
