It solves one of my own problems. Jotting down valuable information from youtube videos. I also there are loads of videos upvoting the person who documents notes or key points on videos in the comments below. This helps.

June 29, 2019 #3 Product of the day on Product Hunt

So about a week before I end up with the reward I uploaded this project to Product Hunt. I put it on the site that day and periodically checked back every few hours. By the end of the day, the only one who has upvoted was the default one the creator gives. Fast forward a week later and I get an email saying that Gnotes got 88 upvotes in one day and was in the top 3 products of the day! It felt good that other people though the idea was good too. I still have 0 revenue and don't think I can make that particular thing profitable, but I am excited to think that it wasn't time wasted.

June 21, 2019 Finished the MVP

With encouragement from other fellow Indie Hackers and some long nights, my MVP is out!!!! It took a lot of (dare I say) clever trickery to get it to work the way it does. If everyone hates it tomorrow, I'll be glad I started on a journey to completing the things I have started.

May 1, 2019 I began working on Gnotes

As stated in the previous post I came up with the idea because of having to study to get into my coding boot camp. Well, I got in. It was great but took loads of time out of my schedule and I was still working. So instead of doing it during that period, I decided to work on it the first time I got a chance to. As my final project.

January 24, 2019 Came Up With The Idea

The prereq course I needed to take for the coding boot camp I was interviewing for were videos. I couldn't study them on the go or refer back to specific information. So I thought there was a better way of doing this. So I came up with Gnotes. I didn't work on it then because I got into the boot camp. However, the mvp was started as the final project for the boot camp.
