Ask HN: How do you take notes when you're Bug Hunting or Pentesting?

Would be nice to see screenshots of your app on the site before I download it. Don't just want to download an app in the blind.

My biggest issue is that while I'm taking notes, I just want to write notes down quickly in one place without distracting me from the task, but when I get back to them, I want them neatly organized by date, client, part of project, etc.

Animated screenshots (gifs, not YouTube videos) in the repo's readme or landing docs can be the difference between "this could actually be what I'm looking for, I'll try it" and "this probably isn't what I'm looking for, I'm not going to download just to find out what it actually is".

Truth be told, it was more of a landing page to gather feedback and determine if note-taking is a true pain, I don't want to build the wrong thing, I want to build something useful.

So I take your point, as we get closer to launch there will be more screens. With that said do you mind sharing how you take notes and what's the biggest pain for you?

Thanks again.

Thanks, no problem, we're working on that.

Can you tell me more about 'organizing the notes by date, client, part of the project, etc'?
