That is an interesting idea, but not something I would ever want in a notes app. A note may be important but never opened.
For example, I have a note in Craft with my bike serial number and a picture of me standing next to it. If my bike is ever stolen and recovered, this note is proof of ownership. I have not opened this note since creating it, because my bike has not been stolen, but I would obviously hate to lose it.
- ayewo 3y agoThat's an interesting use case. Why not just include a photo of the receipt as proof of ownership?
- TurkishPoptart 3y agoBecause it's hard to match a visual depiction of the bike and owner to a printed receipt.
- OJFord 3y agoWhy would you want to repeatedly 'interact' with that any more?
- dymk 3y agoWhy not just keep a searchable note of it in a notes app?
- dvzk 3y agoFor one thing, it's common for enthusiasts to replace stock components. A serial number stamped onto the frame isn't useful all the time, especially if the frame itself is secondhand. If someone takes your >$2,000 carbon wheelset then you're SOL, likely no matter what.
- bee_rider 3y agoLooking at the site, I guess the dead notes might just be hidden in a “delete” folder instead of actually gone forever, which seems like a reasonable compromise.
- trevwilson 3y agoThe "note lifetime" image on their page mentions pinning notes to keep them from being deleted, but if that keeps it persistently at the top of the list it's probably not what you'd want either.
- drewrv 3y agoA little off topic, but you should check out bikeindex.org
- SkyMarshal 3y agoThe minimal.app idea would make more sense for a ToDo list app than a note app, I think. ToDo items that aren’t either checked off or interacted with after a time are likely not either urgent or important and can be auto-deleted.
