Hey Product Hunt! I'm Usama, solo dev behind EpicNotes. The problem no existing tool solved for me: I carry an Android phone and a MacBook — and there is no ecosystem for that combo. Apple users get Handoff and iCloud Notes that just appear everywhere. Android+Mac users? Apple Notes doesn't exist on Android. Google Keep has no real desktop app. Notion is a browser tab that dies on a plane. Our two best devices simply don't talk to each other. So I built the missing ecosystem: EpicNotes is a native, offline-first workspace for macOS and Android where notes, tasks, and calendar share one brain. • Capture on your phone widget → it's on your Mac timeline before you sit down • Shake your mouse on Mac → Quick Capture HUD appears anywhere • Type "Call mom Friday at 6pm" → it schedules itself on the 24-hour timeline • Semantic AI search finds notes by meaning, not keywords • Local SQLite: zero lag, fully offline, your data stays yours 14 days of closed beta on Google Play shaped everything from keyboard fixes to the native Mac menu bar. I'm in the comments all launch day — brutal feedback welcome! 🙏

Solo dev with a day job: What I learned wiring Stripe + Google Play billing at 3am

Hey everyone

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:
