It’s good to hear about your workflow, and I agree about the widget too. It’s on the roadmap!

Show HN: Bebop – an iOS app for capturing notes as iCloud-synced txt/md files

Hello HN! I built my first iOS app, Bebop. I made it as a companion to file-based desktop apps like Obsidian and NVAlt, and also as a way to learn iOS development and try out GPT/Copilot.Notes are saved as plain-text files in the iCloud/Dropbox folder of your choice. I felt that most notes apps out there had too many organizational features (better suited for larger screens) that got in the way...

Reminds me of the work of Japanese artist Mio I-zawa, who makes things like "mechanical tumors" that grow in size based on your CPU load:

The Behance dot grid books are great for layout sketches: http://www.creativesoutfitter.com/

Konigi graph paper looks decent for wireframing: http://konigi.com/tools/overview

As do Whiteline books (you can buy them off Amazon): http://www.whitelines.se/en/

I personally use and recommend Muji recycled ring notebooks. They're relatively cheap and excellent for quick sketches/journaling: http://www.muji.us/store/stationery/note/recycled-paper-note...

For me, anything that'll let me get my ideas on paper as quickly and effortlessly as possible is the way to go. As long as the notebook doesn't get in the way, it's perfect.
