> I need to tap screen to start writing

I think the issue here is that, though the cursor is in the searchfield, the keyboard doesn't appear? I have no idea how to handle this. Even if you could make the keyboard appear automatically, it's also not obvious that you would want to, because you might just want to read your notes. (And then how to make it disappear?)

> I need to save what I wrote — can autosave happen in a browser app?

I've thought about that. Some issues:

- In thinktype, you write and search using the same field. So autosave would also save every search.

- The notes id is the time that you saved it. Not sure how I would handle that with autosave.

> Save button moved off screen to the right

Wow, that sucks. Can't replicate that, no idea what might cause that. Can you post a screenshot? Is the issue that the entire thing is too wide? Is it possible that you zoomed in by mistake?

> I think new text should be at the bottom like in chat apps, but maybe it's just my taste

I've thought about that. In my view, that makes sense at best for one line texts. If you have longer texts, and you want to read through all of them, then you have to keep moving back and forth. Scroll through a note to read it, scroll up again to find the previous note, and so on.

> I presume it wouldn't work offline?

It does work offline. Notes are stored locally using IndexedDB, and the code is stored locally using the cache interface of the service worker API.

That's very nice.

> In thinktype, you write and search using the same field

For my use I wouldn't care about search much. Most of what I write is one-time information like a phone number or some shopping list. Sometimes it's a thought that I just want out there but it has no value beyond that moment. And if an idea can be used in some of my projects or become a seed for one, I'd want to catalogue it using a structured app like Evernote or Standard Notes or any other.

I think there are lot of advantages of using one app for all notes, and that's part of why I made thinktype. It means you don't have to ask yourself where to write something down and where you did write something down.

Thanks. So it does look like the entire thing is too wide. I have no idea how to fix this, or even replicate it, sorry.

That's the idea behind most note-taking apps like iOS notes or Bear or Google Keep. You can use tags, ad images, lists and so on and so on.

But I dig that there are no folders or separate notes in your app, just one roll.

There are seperate notes, but no folders. You don't need or want folders if search is so easily accessible. Typing "foobar" to see all your notes on "foobar" is faster then clicking on your "foobar" folder.
