Show IH: Joonote - a note-taking app on your lock screen

I wanted an app like that, but couldn't find one for many years. And I'm a web dev guy, so one day I decided to see if it's possible with the help of generative AI. So I start asking questions on gemini website, and build bits by bits by endless follow-up questions. Took 7mo.

    Lock-screen capture is the useful part here. The problem usually isn’t where the note ends up, it’s that half-second of friction before you actually get it out of your head. If I have to unlock, find the app, and type, the thought is already getting fuzzy. That’s why I built DictaFlow: get the words out first, sort them later.

    Hey — quick note.
    I run Signal48. I help founders spot real user pain points and missed opportunities by scanning Reddit, reviews, and online communities — delivered in 48 hours.
    I took a quick look at your product and noticed a few recurring patterns users mention.
    Would you be open to a short insight report? No pressure — just thought it might help.

    Is it only for Android? Would love to test it on iOS if it exists :)
