First impression was that it's not immediately clear or intuitive where I was supposed to type my note.
"Everything you type here will save automatically." Where is here?
The cursor does not default to the text area. So you when you click to the "write" page and start typing, nothing happens. There is no border around this mystery writing text box, just blank white space that flows into the edges of the page.
The formatting tools box at the top was appearing then disappearing seemingly randomly. Until I realized it's only available when you highlight the text, then disappears when nothing is highlighted and is then covered/replaced by a link to the home page. Why not just show the formatting at all times? If someone never highlights the text, or does it quickly, they might not even know they have the ability to format the text.
I think all of these can easily be adapted/iterated (if these views are encountered by not just me). Overall it's a very nice product.
Thanks for sharing!

- eddieroger 8y ago> Well, click on "here" to find out, no? No. I had the same problem. If it's meant to be a simple note taking app, it's a fair expectation that you can "just type," or that you are "here" without taking an action on your own. With the current UX, it's a note-viewing app, not a note-taking app.
- dhimes 8y agoI actually agree with gp. The common UI these days is to have a clearly outlined place to type with placeholder text in a lighter font. It's simple to make the change and I think OP should. Nice product though.
