Hey there! Thanks so much for sharing!
I created Mindful because I was getting frustrated with constantly forgetting small things I care about or needing to be done.
The problem with notes and reminders is that you have to remember to look at them. Mindful is different. It lives in every new tab.
I applied three guiding design principles during this project:
1). It works where you work
Instead of opening a notes or reminders app, Mindful is already there. In every new tab.
2). Repetitive exposure
Having your thoughts and ideas in every new tab reduces the friction to edit them, while at the same time making you conscious about them.
3). Deliberate Limitation
Mindful is one single document. It forces you to organize your thoughts. It’s user interface is designed to make the user flow during the writing experience.
Mindful is designed to be efficient and delightful. Something I learned through observation is that people never start a new paragraph with a SPACE key. That’s where Mindful’s flow-menu comes into play.
Mindful syncs with your Google Account.
It’s still young and beta. Please be mindful about that. :)
