Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to keep it specific for GitHub but can see how the base functionality can be used for something more generic. On each page match hit for a signed in user, the API is checked to see if the user has notes - if the match

(dev here) Are you thinking to bypass GSheets altogether? Or, go Sheets -> another integration.

by siegers 2y ago
(dev here) Completely understand the concern. This uses an embedded Google File picker to allow you to select what Sheets to allow access to. Until you do that, the extension doesn't have r/w access. The integration with Google (O

Thank you! The goal is to save time and reduce the back and forth of finding tabs - hopefully this helps solve some of that.

This great feedback - thank you. I like the idea of the TTL. That's interesting if we continue on the current route. Similar to the "open start up" concept and publishing available runway, etc.

(cofounder) Thanks and glad to hear! Our main goal was to _not_ try to make it "everything" and while still making it enjoyable to use. We'd appreciate any feedback once you do some testing. Send over to lowercasehq@gmail.com

Thanks! So we actually started with offline first originally (a standalone desktop app) and then rebuilt for the web. We had plans to revisit based on interest, etc. so it's good to get the feedback here and use that to shape the direc

(cofounder here) Thanks for the feedback! We have some ideas, and to be honest, the feedback here has been great to firm up some of our assumptions. I'd like to follow up on this if you're interested. Feel free to email (lowercase

Thank you for the feedback! This route is definitely something for us to consider.

This is something that we've discussed quite a bit and not completely off the table.

(co-founder) Sry about that - if you want to email lowercasehq@gmail.com I can remove and confirm for you.

(co-founder) Thanks for the comment and very valid points. When we initially started building we had subscription plans and more of a general revenue model. Over time we transitioned to the donation-based approach. We are open to revisiting

Meaning that we'd be limiting users that don't use the provider(s) that we'd support. At that time, we felt that username/password was the lowest friction at the time. We're happy to re-eval if needed though!

Wasn't necessary since we weren't intending to share information with another service and felt that the 3rd party requirement could be limiting.

Thank you! And cool app too! We had a similar experience in that we built the majority of this ~4 years ago. And it's been stable since.

Folks with technical experience but not necessarily web devs. When you want more out of Google Docs, Notes, etc. but don't want to invest the time in building it yourself. Or, that's not your skillset. - Syntax highlighting - &quo
