A note-taking app with chat

Hey Indiehackers 👋
I have been trying to commit to a notes app for years now,
I recently started using roam research, but it's still not the go-to app that I open to write down my random ideas. One of the reasons being it is not the smoothest in mobile phones.

Hence I kept falling back to chat apps like Whatsapp for my note-taking, sharing links, and adding thoughts in hopes of I would revisit them (which rarely happened).

But I noticed that I get more clarity on my thoughts when I explain them to someone, and I started noting down my thoughts like I am trying to explain them to someone, which helped me a lot.

So, I tried to revisit the idea of note-taking and wanted to align it with my habits and structured a framework,

A process where you can write down a thought quickly, without worrying about the title, category, or subfolder I should put it in.
It's like your brain dump.

Have a weekly habit of revisiting them and building on top of these random brain dumps. Force yourself to create your insights on the facts and ideas you have gathered over the week and draft a more structured piece to share with the world.

This is a familiar framework that everyone has seen in numerous videos about note-taking, where they usually suggest using multiple tools for this. I just merged them into one.

and I spent a day and built this app

I am planning to focus more on improving my writing skills now and share them. It's also like an opportunity for me to see if the framework is helpful for me or not. I will keep you guys posted on the progress.

PS would love to know your thoughts on the app.

    I like the idea! I think it's very helpful to save your ideas and clear your mind without having to organize your thoughts which you can do once you get back on it.
