As someone who daily sends messages to myself as a form of notetaking, for everything from todos and shoplists to ideas and bookmarks, I've thought about this a lot. The only conclusions I came to are that I keep using messages because (1) they are convinient and synced across devices, (2) app is already installed and frequently opened so it rarely needs to load up making notetaking faster, and (3) I do not have to think about organization.
I believe the last point is most important, and is where your app is misaligned with my reasons for using messages - you seem to have spearate folders and notes, prompting me to think "where does this go?" before writing, which is something I really want to avoid.
Your 3rd point is valid even we ran into the same problem of where will my notes go. And to that, we have thought of doing the IdeaBook app in such a way that it will work for both two sets of users
(1) who prefer creating groups and then writing notes to particular groups
(2) who likes to dump all their notes in one place without thinking about which group to choose.
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it.
most of the people I know use WhatsApp and Telegram because they can read their notes from any device/ant time and can forward it any one.
so for this use case ideabook cannot do what WhatsApp or Telegram do for me.
But I like the clean interface.
note: mobile appstore links are not there
