Hello Hackers!
I’m honoured to share with you my app for quicker note taking, Luckynote.
Yes, I know the comments of new note taking popping up daily, but as a vivid note taker I have tried a lot of them and I haven’t found any that cover my needs fully, thus I decided to create one.
This is also my first launch, so I'm open for tips :)
Luckynote is a note taking app that takes the shape of a messenger app. You’re sending yourself notes as messages. Imagine Telegram or WhatsApp but only for yourself. Every message is a note that is upgradable with url previews, files and images. Every message can be starred or made as a task and moved to the dedicated folder. The app comes with a browser extension which helps greatly with bookmarking. You can find out more in the video below (mobile preview starts at 1:19)
The goal of Luckynote was to satisfy my needs first, which I more than achieved, the second part is to see if it can help somebody else as well.I personally still use other note taking apps for other purposes, but most of my daily routine revolves around Luckynote. Of course the idea is to upgrade the app to cover those cases as well but that comes with time.
I hope you like it and will help you in your daily life.
You can find the app on https://luckynote.io
It’s available as a Web and Mobile (iOS and Android) app and it comes with a browser extension.

Additionally please feel free to let me know how you feel regarding this video. Is it too long, do you understand the concept of the app, etc. I’m more than open to suggestions. :)

Great idea and execution. But I'm wondering if you could've used Telegram instead of building your own messaging application by building a Telegram Bot? This would also reduce some friction from end users of having to install yet another app.
Thanks! I considered that, but there would be limitations on extending the messages with multiple files as well as making them Tasks and organising them in folders. Also not everybody uses Telegram.
There is the idea to provide a bot that will forward messages to the Inbox folder, but I skipped that for the initial launch.
Is there anything specific that you see is missing?
