I was an accountant for 3 years before I switched my career to be a programmer, then I kept coding for 10+ years in big tech companies and had always wanted to build a product on my own. Eventually, I found the niche to combine my finance knowledge and my iOS skills into this App and happily building for a few years.

Description: Designed by a former accountant, Percento is a fast and powerful personal finance manager on iOS. With a clean net worth overview, you can focus on what's important, while minimizing effort to keep track of all your money accounts.

Testing: Feedback On User Experience and localization. Percento is featured multiple times by Apple in my country, and I am looking to promote the App in English speaking countries.

I've been working on this App for 3 years now, I've earned some users in my country. I'm planning to bring more growth in other countries.

- Spend time on inventing library instead of thinking hard about the customer need for an App - Spend time on learning productivity tips instead of doing actual work - And in this case, spend time worrying about the blog platform instead of writing articles

I learn this lesson hard and constantly remind myself to avoid this pitfall.

Unlike other Apps, Percento encourages you to only track significant money updates of your daily life, minimizing your time spent on tracking money. Features:

- Support multi-currency

- No login needed

- iCloud Sync

- Stock and currency rate sync

I've earned some active users for the past few months, who love the App very much. I haven't marketed the App enough so the audience is still small for English language countries. Can you tell me how you feel about my App?

Features:

- Dead easy to book keeping

- Plain text export

- Focus on assets management

- Support many iOS platform only features

Currently this is Chinese only but I am looking to support English as well: https://xxz.jakehao.com

The fact that Gitbook is no longer maintained is a sad news for me. I don't usually write books but I my favorite to maintain a product manuel is to use Gitbook. For example, here is a prototype for my recent project: https://xxz.jakehao.com

At a first glance Asciibook's interface is not eye appealing as Gitbook. I hope your project can keep the momentum and hope to use it in production one day!

Github on mobile is a pain for me as well, that's why I need to IM-myself for thoughts on the go and even thinking about writing a lightweight app for myself.

Would you let me know whether using Github is a good idea for you to manage your notes? Thanks.

It is a little surprising to see a handful of recommendation for OneNote. I have never used OneNote before, but will definitely give it a try.

I think one's idea tracking system should cover two parts: fast and slow. The slow part is as you mentioned we should periodically review ideas. For this part, I am almost 100% happy with Github issues/wiki/projects.

For the fast part, like you, I used notebook, IM, Google Keep and a bash script at the same time (whichever that is most handy). I am 90% happy with the process. Given the high frequency of the day I am spending tracking ideas (~10 times per day), I am willing to spend some time to fine tune the practice until I am 99% happy.

The idea I have in mind is to write a IM-like note taking app for iPhone and Mac, which stores plain-text and image in iCloud drive. The app should utilize platform features such as Siri, 3D touch, Mac status bar to enable fastest idea capturing.

This sounds boring to me, but I believe if it is done right, it could be my most efficient zero-effort idea tracking solution on the go. (And review ideas using the plain-text db in iCloud)

(I didn't bother to figure out what goes wrong. These notes are throw aways anyway)

I think the law of least effort applied to me.

On the other hand, I am not very happy with my current random ideas picking strategy. It is really nice to see there are many alternatives in this thread.
