This is really cool stuff, OP. Congrats on the launch! I like that you've taken an actual problem or use case you have and turned it into an app.

I love seeing how other people solve similar problems. I've seen this other project [1] that is similar in idea, but the author there has opted to go for something that looks literally like a texting app. Yours looks more Slack-like, just going by the Mac version.

Likewise, I also wanted to create an app for keeping track of short notes, but I thought it would be neat to give it the UI of something like Twitter or Tumblr, so I built Minders. [2] I have to admit that not all the design ideas in my particular app work quite well together yet (such as "hearting" and replying to your own posts), but I do end up using it regularly for journaling and keeping track of interesting links.

Please let me add an iCloud family member to Minders.

Offer a "Family Plan" price to cover selling two copies that feature-enables you to make Minders into you and another person's private twitter feed.

Don't make Path from 2010 for 50 people (amazing when it started in 2010, lost its way a bit, gone now):

Just make your thing, but for a couple or a family, exclusively in their own shared iCloud storage.

And yes, please, add one-time purchase.

Related note to iOS devs: if you only offer IAP, companies can't buy your app for employees on company devices or BYOD. Apple doesn't support a company any way to provide IAP. My employees get company-paid-for iOS apps... but only apps the apps and books manager can buy for roles or individuals.

Another chat-like notetaking app I saw posted a while ago: https://site.ducknote.app/

That one reminds me a bit of Discord.

Love the design of yours, though.

Thank you! Yeah, it’s interesting to see apps with similar motivations, and thank you for suggesting your app. The idea of a private SNS with a Twitter-like UI for note-taking is definitely another interesting direction.
