Interesting Project! There seems to be a bit of learning curve required to get handy with the tool. A better/simpler onboarding where I learn about the key concepts should be great. I will not master the product on Day-1 but I'll get some headstart. Related to the first point, I couldn't access the user guide from the main dashboard. I actually found them in the comments here and I think you should link it somewhere on the dashboard. Anyone interested will be able to go through it and learn more about the ways of doing things.

The product looks promising to me and I'll use it a bit more and would share any feedback I have.

Best wishes!

Thanks for the feedback :) The user guide was created for the iOS app, but we'll update it soon to look a bit more modern and so it applies for both the web app and iOS app. And like you said, it's a good idea to link to it from more places!

Hey, one of the creators of MindPad here.

MindPad is an iOS+web app written in Swift/React with a back end on GCP, using postgres for bi-directional near-real-time sync.

A friend and I wrote it over the last year after being unhappy with existing alternatives, which are either overcomplicated, too expensive, or just did not fit what we wanted to use.

Registration is optional and the app is free. Since I posted on Reddit about it we got many really cool reviews, which kind of surprised us because we thought it's still not good enough.

The overall premise is to blend together notes, to-do's and habits/goals in a slack-like, chat-with-yourself interface.

Let me know what you think!

It’s a neat idea. If I can make a request...

Please make the color themes work through the whole app. A dark sidebar is nifty and all, but when all other text boxes are stark white with black text it sort of defeats the purpose of having said color themes. I realize this is probably low-priority, but it is currently unusable for me.

Yup this is pretty much the most requested feature.. Making the dark themes completely dark is on my to-do list. Thanks for the feedback!

a neat app for sure, but some clarity on data privacy of entered information would make users a lot more comfortable in what they put into the app, so far I'm loving it, surprisingly fast to get up to speed on the app, and simple to use and move things around, I dragged and dropped a few things on my mac after creating them on my iPhone. would be nice to be able to change the login ID too, some strange warning about changing to an apple ID put me right off moving from my initial test login. It will do mind you.

The main page is a SPA but the user guide isn't https://www.mindpad.io/user_guide at least for now.

SPA – do you mean single-page application? The user guide is a bit dated compared to the current state of the app, I should really update it :)

Hi, cool idea. I'm curious, what's your monetization plan?

probably a subscription fee to access premium features (but only for new users)

Free cost in exchange of having customers brains dump available for ML and marketing analyses. Also not available for majority of mobile population.

looks nice. i would feel more comfortable to use it, if my data was encrypted or stored locally in my phone's app or having the option o selfhost.
