Show HN: NoteBox for iOS – Capture texts quickly and organize them easily
- benwoodward 12y agoSome feedback about the website; the nicescroll.js plugin reduces usability in my opinion. It changes the expected behaviour of my browser, and it took me a couple of tries to get the page to stop where I wanted it to.
- blesserx 12y agoThanks for the feedback. Just disabled it.
- kenshi 12y agoI think you need a video of your app, highlighting its unique features on your website. Like any app category, there are numerous alternatives, so you've got to really demonstrate what makes your app different and compelling.
- fsiefken 12y agoGreat integration with other services reminiscent of a slightly similar app 'Drafts'. Automatically creating a list reminds me of org-mode. I wonder if I can automatically sync org files and swipe off todo's.
- blesserx 12y agoI totally don't familiar with org-mode. But speaking of Drafts, yes, we really like the idea how Drafts can quickly start to type texts. But we want a more intuitive interface and other features like automatically creating notes with texts copied from other apps, one button sharing, etc. We want to make collecting and managing texts on the iOS devices easier and smarter. For example, you can copy an URL from the other apps and get a new note with webpage title + URL. That would be useful if you are gathering some information. Thanks for your feedback. We'll make it better.
- fsiefken 12y agowith org-mode (an emacs mode for organizing lists) you can make lists with bullets: * TODO sublevel 1 * sublevel 2 and prioritize them with [A], [B] etc, tag them with :tag1:, :tag2: etc, and time, schedule etc them with :CLOCK:, :SCHEDULE: etc. I am using Drafts to edit create org files in dropbox. Your swipe feature is handy in this regard so I can more easily integrate org-mode with my mobile workflow. There is an mobile-org app but it's a bit dated, and apps like Clear with similar swiping of tasks do not export with other services or files.
- mofle 12y agoOne thing I miss from most note apps is the ability to tag notes with just `#tag` wherever in a note. Clicking it should bring me to the tag view.
- hellweaver666 12y agoI'm guessing you aren't a native English speaker? There are some nasty copy mistakes in there such as your heading "More Carefully Design"... try and get someone to proofread your copy.
- blesserx 12y agoThanks. And yes, we are Taiwanese. We'll be more careful.
- supercoder 12y agoThe category title "More Carefully Design" doesn't make sense grammatically.
- blesserx 12y agoA simple preview video just added to the website. It demonstrates how to collect texts from other apps.
- netz 12y agoNoteBox or Draft,Which one do you like?
- Freakuout 12y agoThough there's something weird, it's definitely a good work.
- blesserx 12y agoThank you. Can you be specific about the weird parts?
- hubot 12y agowhat distinguish notebox from other note app, says Simplenote?
- blesserx 12y agoFirst, it collect texts much faster. You get a blank note screen when launch the app (like Drafts), plus create notes when you copy texts from other apps (while it is in the background).
- blesserx 12y agoSecond, it treat notes somewhat like todos. We think every note has its purpose. They are meant to be keep for reference, do something, share, archive, or discard the idea(delete), etc. We made sharing and doing other actions easily. For example, if you are a Evernote user, you can send multiple notes to Evetnote at once.
