I'm Usama, a project manager by day and a solo dev by night. For the past few months I've been building EpicNotes a native notes app with AI cleanup for the "forgotten combo" of Android phone + MacBook.
The tech part was hard (Kotlin Multiplatform, Supabase, local-first sync). But the part that broke me was the payment infrastructure.
Here's the 36-hour debug marathon I went through last week:
If you carry an Android phone and a Mac, you know the pain: Apple's ecosystem ignores you, Google's stops at the browser. EpicNotes is the missing bridge — a native, offline-first workspace for macOS and Android where notes, tasks, and calendar share one brain. Capture tasks in plain English ("Call mom Friday at 6pm") and they land on your 24-hour timeline. Semantic AI search finds notes by meaning. Local SQLite: zero lag, full offline, syncs seamlessly.
