What you have so far is really cool. But I want your second app to be a part of this.

After my note is written, help me compress it to the 4-5 word title, set categories, save and store, and I would definitely pay $5 a month for it.

The best part for me is the prompts. A special new "prompt of the week" would be very cool.

Thanks! Glad you like it.

That app is my next priority, and it should be released in a day or two. I'm pretty excited about it, actually. It's a list that can have 100 items max, so you never get overwhelmed by the things you save. I've added way too much to every other app I've used (Gtasks, Trello, Workflowy, Asana), so this one is designed to make that impossible.

I hadn't thought to include some direction on how to compress notes, but that's the hard part! Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm glad you like the prompts. I could totally do a special prompt of the week! Cool idea.

These prompts can vary significantly based on the field you are working on. You should consider a way to customize these prompts that are more relevant to your field.

Overall- very cool concept. Realized this while using it- I have a forcing function of taking only the useful parts of my thoughts forward. That is handy for someone like me that has brain-spills all the time :)

I was surprised people found the prompts so useful, so I'm focusing more on that next. I think I'll create a dedicated site with a wide variety of prompts next. Should be fun!

100% agree. I would want the second app as well to save the results of my brainstorming. Is it available anywhere or do you recommend anything if you aren't releasing your own?

I'll be releasing it in a day or two. :)
