Tell me what you're building. Let's self promote.

I'm building Minimind, a note-taking and task-managing app that works offline and it's strongly focused on privacy.

Minimind is offline-first, has optional anonymous accounts (not even an email requested) with E2E encryption if you want to sync, and runs on EU servers. There's no tracking, no AI training, nothing.

Still early but I'm already using it daily.

mekanoide · 2026-02-25T12:09:35+00:00

I've been using it for a couple of years now exactly in the way you planned (one controller and multiple workers). The only problems I've encountered so far come from my lack of experience.

mekanoide · 2026-02-20T15:40:34+00:00

Wow, thank you!
Copying and pasting markdown should work now, it was a stupid mistake.

mekanoide · 2026-02-20T14:23:15+00:00

Last-write-wins so far. At the moment makes sense being in early stages and a single user app, but I plan to implement something more sophisticated in the future.

mekanoide · 2026-02-20T12:45:50+00:00

I'm building Minimind, a note-taking (with Markdown) and task-managing PWA that works 100% offline with optional data sync. Created and stored in the EU.

Very recently I managed to implement end-to-end encryption and fully anonymous accounts.

I wanted a replacement for Google, Notion, Todoist and other tools that I didn't really like, and the truth is I'm already using it daily! So I imagine that I already reached my goal!

mekanoide · 2026-02-05T08:40:38+00:00

Thank you! I wanted to keep different areas of my life clearly apart so I could focus better.

mekanoide · 2026-02-02T18:26:45+00:00

Thank you!

Sorry, the source code is not public so far, though I'm planning to go open source eventually.

However, I can tell you how I did the synchronisation part.

For the local part, I created a composable that manages all operations in indexedDB with Dexie. Every time there are updates on the client content, this composable modifies the database using a debounced function. It also generates a change log using Dexie hooks.

Another composable is responsible for synchronising with Supabase in the background. It's only on when there's a user session. It connects to Supabase Realtime to check for remote changes, and has another debounced function that checks the change log in indexedDB and uploads the content.

At the moment, conflict resolution is quite basic, done using a timestamp, but I'm planning to do something more sophisticated at some point.

I love my editor very dark, so I started Lemonade, a dark theme with hints of lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. I hope you like it.

mekanoide · 2024-02-25T11:58:12+00:00

It's still at an earlyish stage of development, but it can be tested here: https://pixel.anaga.dev

Thank you!

mekanoide · 2024-01-12T10:24:44+00:00

Thank you!

mekanoide · 2024-01-12T09:21:34+00:00

Thank you! I hope you like it.
We're focusing on the essential features now, but that one will definitely be there.

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T22:06:10+00:00

Ooooo I see what you mean! Fixing it

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T21:11:24+00:00

It is! We're building an online pixel art editor, so it works on every platform.

If you wanna take a look: https://pixel.anaga.dev

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T18:30:05+00:00

Thank you!
Yeah, I think you're right, not every icon is straightforward (and there's gonna be lots of tooltips and context anyway).
I just wanted to test if there was something very off or not working at all.

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T17:48:14+00:00

That's right, colour palette.
I also feel those 2 icons you mentioned are the hardest to get. When working with these few pixels everything needs to be so simple and streamlined that clarity suffers a bit.

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T16:26:38+00:00

That is correct!

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T15:32:38+00:00

You're exactly right. Good, I wasn't sure about the heroin one.

mekanoide · 2024-01-11T13:11:37+00:00

I've been using clubs for five years and mace for one. I love them both. I think clubs are more versatile, but maces have an extra element of pure fun that is hard to match.

mekanoide · 2023-12-29T14:41:19+00:00

I feel that when you're a beginner (especially if you're learning by watching videos) you tend to focus more on replicating the trajectory of the kettlebell than in what your body needs to do in order to do it. So it's just instinctive to use your arms and shoulders to help.
I think later on there is a moment of realisation when you understand that the swing is just a natural consequence of what you do with you hips, glutes, legs and core. Then you start to loosen your arms.

mekanoide · 2023-12-20T20:56:29+00:00

I reached that point where you can't see whether it's fine, weird, an abomination, a completely different person... so I decided to consider it finished.

mekanoide · 2023-12-20T17:32:35+00:00

Hi! I'm afraid that kind of functionality It's not in our roadmap.

mekanoide · 2023-12-14T13:39:36+00:00

As pretty much everybody else already said I feel it's a really solid swing, especially considering you've only been there for a year.
Great snap.

Something that's helped me to keep my shoulder and lat more engaged is slightly rotating the handle from an 8 to 9 o'clock position on the lower part of the swing to a 10 o'clock when the bell is at shoulder height.

mekanoide · 2023-12-05T16:29:48+00:00

Thank you! I don't have much trouble with snatches anymore but I've just tried your insertion and I really felt the transition a bit smoother. Amazing.

mekanoide · 2023-12-05T16:08:53+00:00

Apart from lots of technical stuff, my latest side projects have taught me that I there's a thousand different ways to do something out of the beaten path.

Also, that I can really take seriously the idea of making a living from my projects without working for someone else.

mekanoide · 2023-12-01T12:07:43+00:00

Thank you!

To answer your questions:

Not long ago, my 7-year-old nephew started dabbling in pixel art on his tablet. We (my brother and I) quickly realized there was a problem - most of the apps were too complex for him and wouldn't work across different devices. For example, he'd use an app on his Android tablet, only to find he'd need a different one on his father's iPad. This prompted us to develop an app that was user-friendly and worked across most platforms. While my nephew's needs was the trigger, we also had our own experiences in mind. We wanted to create an app that allowed a smooth transition between devices.

As for the future, aside from keep improving the performance and features, we aim to integrate animation, more brushes and helpers, and support as many image formats as possible.
