@wordsofteekay I was literally just eating pizza and reading the same book an hour before seeing this 😂

@bacqueyrisses @_buildspace I love this idea! It kind of reminds me of that camera that uses AI to create the picture based off location/time/weather data, but this seems much more approachable

@kdrag0n @OrbStack @_buildspace @_nightsweekends Tried out @OrbStack for the first time today, and I couldn't believe how it just worked! With Docker Desktop turned off, my machine is running so much faster now too

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@fabiensnauwaert @_buildspace I'm excited to try this out. The suggestions are a nice touch!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@scottific @hulloitskai @_buildspace @_nightsweekends This just makes so much sense. I'd love to use it!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@aidenybai @milliondotjs @_buildspace Was just about to add Million.js to my toy!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

Today's note apps feel too slow or complex (or both!), so I'm building one that's fast and simple.

Here's my toy showing how you can quickly capture notes from any app.

@SamM25578510 @_buildspace @_nightsweekends Plan is for desktop first but will be designing with mobile in mind and officially supported later

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

Note apps have become so complex that you need a masterclass just to learn how to use them.

I'm making an app that keeps notes simple, always.

Thoughts?

@RandomBitsDev @_buildspace @_nightsweekends Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take a look.

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@vidurkl @_buildspace @_nightsweekends I hadn't considered migrating from other apps yet, because I'm building it as an alternative to notes apps that didn't "stick" for people and, as a result, aren't invested in it yet. But that's a really good point, and I'll have to think about it some more.

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@charleyslee @_buildspace @_nightsweekends rn I'm considering a sort of plugin system but am wanting to keep the core experience basic

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@nouzaa19 @_nightsweekends @_buildspace That's an ambitious goal, but I'm rooting for you. If you cook healthy food without compromises, I'll be your first subscriber!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@GedOssman @_buildspace @_nightsweekends @bryan_johnson @impact_theory Would love to use this. Shortcuts scripting just didn't work the way I wanted it to, but easy-to-use custom widgets would be great to have.

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@obooks29 @_nightsweekends Really cool idea! Finding a venue can be overwhelming, but having the perfect one suggested would be amazing. Looking forward to seeing where you take this!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@batlounis @_buildspace @_nightsweekends Already thinking of the time I'd save listening to podcasts alone. I would love to be a tester for you!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@twirinochka @_buildspace @_nightsweekends Do you intend to curate a list of good reads or use ML and suggest based off their reading "profile"? As an avid reader, I'd love to try it out when you make it a reality!

[Ezra Young @wholisticdev]

@kentcdodds Not specific to this approach as much as controlled components in general, but the cursor placement will behave inconsistently when editing. Inputting a lowercase letter will maintain expected cursor position, but inputting a capital letter will move the cursor to the end.

Just use a button #a11y

@derrickreimer I think ‘position: sticky’ creates its own stacking context, so the menu’s z-index won’t break out of it. DOM order is placing the next sticky header above the menu, since it’s a separate stacking context.
