@lautaro_nievas Sounds cool! Who are your typical users? I could imagine something like this being pretty helpful for small businesses and non-tech folks. Kind of a plug and play solution.

@lautaro_nievas this sounds solid. Handling all the tech stuff so clients get a ready panel is smart. Finding that balance between flexibility and simplicity is always tough but sounds like you’re on the right track. Curious how you’re managing WhatsApp workflows and keeping it smooth for users. Keep pushing, it’s getting closer every week!

@steveb Hahaha, please build this!

@steveb That sounds pretty cool. Getting emails sung to you feels like a way better wake-up call. Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Do share when u are done with it.

@steveb Haha sounds amazing. Just thinking out loud here, I am someone who scans the mail rather than reading, and when the mails are really important I open and still I read only 50% to get the context. It might be just me or maybe a lot of people like me who do this, for them this listening to mails might not be the right thing. If you are planning to expand this product, then surely research and talk to people if they really need it.
Cheers,
Hope to see it live someday :))

@steveb Amazing! Ha! Reminds me of an app idea that transforms recipes into rap songs.

@steveb suddenly, I need this :))

@jakecrump Very cool! I use Apple Notes for this at the moment. But, you know, Apple Notes is... special.

@jakecrump Sounds cool. Been kicking a similar idea around in my head for a while now. None of the current note taking type of apps really do it for me. Any potential integrations possible/planned?

@jakecrump I'm also working on something similar.
Apart from the minimalist style, I'm also planning on integrating hot corner window triggering. I'm looking for a way to access the minimalist note editor even quicker than from the menu bar.

Actually, the quick note editor shows above the dock when users hover over the app icon in the dock.
And when users click on the menu bar icon, the quick note editor shows below the menu bar.

I ended up using Flutter for building that. But I've already explored many other options including Electron, and even Rust with Tauri.

@jakecrump if you could create something FASTER than apple notes for brain dump that does a little bit of auto-organization, it would crush

@harvanshchaudhary Oh I love this. Maybe I can paste a github repo url and get a lineup?

@harvanshchaudhary Link doesn't work :-( But sounds super fun

@harvanshchaudhary fun and weird is the way to go

@gabe Oh interesting! I can tell you a request I have haha. I'd love a rucking (weighted walking) workout tracker for my apple watch. The built in workouts don't have that particular workout included so I just use hiking. But it's pretty inaccurate because it's not factoring in or tracking the weight I'm carrying.

@gabe It could be interesting to see that! I swear that since I bought my apple watch, I've become addicted to my health data ahah

@gabe i would use a stupid simple app that tracked progressive overload of a few big compound lifts over time (squat, deadlift mainly). Would be great to have the timescale progression loaded into healthkit with ability to drill down into session specific data

@rohanrecommends Cool idea! So kind of like quick snippets with some personalization options. Any other platforms you're planning to include? I'd assume adding other platforms means adding in the ability to automatically pull in user data from there right?

@rohanrecommends if you really nailed the ux this would get traction

@cchaillan Hey @CodenQuest looks super fun! Good luck with that launch and don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need some tips.

@cchaillan nice! what's the new launch? just relaunching the product with new features?

@justin_bao Focusing on to-dos is an interesting approach. I know for me, one of the things I love about @Superhuman is the focus and ease of getting to inbox zero. I think one of the ways they do that best is with keyboard shortcuts. So I'd highly recommend including/focusing on that!

@justin_bao if you can nail the actionable todo list and have them push to my notion todo list with a scheduled gate for me to approve/deny each one, I would 100% use it.

although notion mail may be a competitor here

@5harath Love this idea! Just signed up for early access. Also, very nice design on the landing page 👌

@5harath this is actually sick. it the UX was truly effortless to navigate and source info from the database, would 100% use it

bonus if it integrates with my CMS / lead tracking database of choice (for me it's notion)

@nischal_kanishk Hey Nischal, I travel a lot and can definitely see myself relying on app for ideas and planning. I can imagine a tool that I can use to plan and create a travel dashboard with everything I need before I arrive somewhere, and that has an offline mode because I won't always have internet access.

hey @nischal_kanishk ! I can offer some feedback here.

I've traveled extensively. I've visited 34 countries and lived abroad in Hong Kong and Indonesia for 6 years, and now that I'm back living in the US, I probably visit 1-2 new countries per year (going to Ireland for the first time next week!).

I've experienced pretty much every travel-related problem there is and have become an expert planner over the years.

Based on that experience, I'm worried your idea may fall victim to what I call the "super app fallacy".

I see a lot of makers trying to build "all in one" apps for sectors that are operating just fine with a set of disparate tools.

Using the disparate tool stack to do what you need works because each tool does one thing very well, and creating a super app is a solution looking for a problem.

For example, I have a pretty nailed down process for working through trip planning (in approximate order):

• destination research

• evaluating points/miles value vs. cash flight prices

• picking dates and booking flights

• booking lodging

• car rental

• travel insurance

• experience booking

• visa considerations

I use different tools for all of these things, and I manage big trips centrally in Notion. Yeah, it's a bit annoying and takes a few hours, but it's not THAT hard, especially since I know what I'm doing.

Let's say you COULD make an all-in-one super app. You would need to do it fast enough to get meaningful traction quickly, which is nearly impossible with the level of feature development you'd need.

Add on the fact that the travel tech space is already super crowded with tons of services for every travel-related task under the sun.

AND travel is one of the most cyclical sectors on the planet, which is another reason to stay away from it.

The alternative is to focus on one hyper-specific problem in the travel space (ideally that you've suffered from personally), and build a tool that absolutely erases it. Then build from there.

What do you think?
