Would suggest having a demo or sample to play around with before having to signup. Or, ideally, just start using and then 'save' to an account.

@shridhargupta Good idea!

Hi hunters! Last year I started bullet journaling - an analog framework for writing journals that keeps things organized and easy to access. I found that it was useful for some things but wanted a digital version for my tasks and a few other things. So, over a week and a half when I *should* have been enjoying Christmas and New Years, I was having loads of fun building this out instead. It syncs to the cloud and it works offline too :D For the nerds: The app is built in Vue.js with Firebase as a serverless backend, and Vuetify as a component library. This combo made developing an absolute dream as it meant I can focus on making, rather than preparing, it also made turning it into a PWA a piece of cake. I've also used products from fellow makers in this build. I used Ouch! Illustrations for the illustrations on my front page (have had many compliments on these already) - Thanks @visualpharm! I also used Terms & Conditions Generator by iubenda which made making my T&C's and Privacy Policy a breeze. Thanks @facens!

I like design - it is simple, easy to use. Great work indeed! As for functionality - plenty of similar products on the market much more complex, how you gonna compete with these big guys?
Hamish Johnson
@alexkhayurov I think most of the big guys have wisely gone down the B2B route with their premium offering - paying for team members etc - however I think Bullet Journaling serves the personal journaling space much better. I have a ton of feature ideas in this line and I'm thinking of packaging them up into a premium subscription.

@hamish_johnson, wish you good luck! Would appreciate to be kept in touch about further developement of Bullet.
Hamish Johnson
@alexkhayurov Absolutely! I quickly put this together and didn't create a mailing list. Since you're already signed up you'll definitely receive news regarding this in the future. Thanks Alex :)

Great app! I was just looking for something exactly like this. Some feedback below; - there are too many "+" icons. I got really confused where should I create tasks first? - why I am able to create tasks for yesterday? - a new tab page extension would be GREAT! please reach me if you want to talk more about it! Kudos!
Hamish Johnson
@nucro Thanks for the suggestions! 1. I should auto create some initial tasks as a demo. 2. Well the entries can be tasks, events or notes. You might want to add a note for the day previously for the sake of journaling. 3. What do you mean by this? Would love to hear! Cheers :)

@hamish_johnson for 3, I don't want to share another app for false advertisement but what I meant is, something like when you open a new tab page in Chrome, Bullet shows up.
Hamish Johnson
@nucro Gotcha, yeah I can see that being useful

Love the simplicity 🕺
Hamish Johnson
@joshberetta Thanks!

Great app - super easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I would suggest is making it a google chrome extension
Hamish Johnson
@susanna_sek Something that just sits in your chrome tab for easy peeking at your day?

I've just signed up for this and on first impressions I must say I'm impressed so far. It's so simple and intuitive and it is exactly what I've been looking for. It also works great on a mobile browser. - Is there any plans for a native app in the future? - It would be nice to see keyboard shortcuts to speed up the workflow e.g. ctrl+n for a new note or ctrl+t for a new task etc. - Tags and search would also be a welcome addition. * edit: an easy way to rearrange items would be an improvement.

I hate product websites without pictures of the product, it's quite a turnoff
Hamish Johnson
@daniel_r4 Gotcha - good to know
Matt Drake
This looks fantastic. I'm a longtime bullet journaler and I'm looking forward to trying this out. Your landing page looks great as well. Have you considered adding OAuth signups? I wonder if that would reduce friction in the signup process.

Sorry, I don't know if this is a duplicate. - nested tags or folders to group them That would make a winner for me
