Making list notes fully editable, including adding new items: super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Making list items movable/reorderable:

Beginning to work on list notes, like what Keep has. Eventually I want to unify the two types of note so that you can have text above/below lists, but that's going to be a lot more work that doesn't pass muster for an alpha. It's always annoyed me that Keep forces you to make a note that's either text or a list, so I'm going to fix it in my software.

I'm currently working toward a super-stripped-down alpha (because otherwise I would spiral into making it perfect and it would never come out) if anyone is interested in giving it a try once I deploy it. Keep in mind that when I say it's stripped down, I mean it. You can look at the attached images to see just how barebones it is. It's not going to be much more than what's already there.

It's going to be free while I consider it still an "alpha" and before I add any features that would cost me significant money. (OCRing images isn't cheap) People who make an account during this period of time will get a flag for some kind of bonus that I haven't decided yet.

This is checked and it STILL yells at me about them. Please, please just... just stop.

I don't tend to talk much about anything I work on, and I figure I should probably change that.

I've recently started working again on an app idea that has its grip firm on my brain: What if a note taking app was just like sending texts to yourself (or similarly: like posting to social media, but private)? There are a few apps in this design space that I know of: StrFlow, Journelly, and Minders being the main ones I know are under active development. But none quite hit what I'm looking for yet, so I'm going to try and make what I want myself.

I'm using #Flutter to build this, and have a long way to go. I can send messages that are stored persistently in SQLite. The input field can format some amount of markdown, and the chat bubbles have more full support for it. (using a library for the chat bubble rendering, but having to make my own input field) Just added a basic search.

I'll try to post little bits of progress as I make them.
