Supernotes

Summary

Have to hide the keyboard, then scroll down, then find the little “Finish” button which is not obvious and too much effort just to save your changes.

When setting a target date it’s almost impossible to see what the current date is because of how faint the square is around today’s date.

You get 40 cards for free. You can get 20 more cards by inviting someone.

There’s a help (?) button everywhere which is comforting and it doesn’t get in the way. It shows a really great cheat sheet with shortcuts and Markdown syntax, LOVE IT! Their docs are very clear and concise.

Import from Markdown files, from Notion and Obsidian too

Ugly

• Not local first, need to sign up
• Got it into a state where I couldn’t see any of my notes. Relaunching the app solved it

Bad

• Not great experience if you’re creating long notes
• Wish I could double tap to edit
• Noteboard is confusing
• No editing toolbar
• No undo and redo
• Mail toolbar button is for invitations, I keep thinking it will email the note, maybe use a different icon. I don’t want to have friends on here anyhow, at least not many that I need a button to see who I invited
• When I click share button on a note I expect it’s going to ask me where to share but instead it creates a link
• Go into a state where it said the note is open somewhere else
• “Open in Noteboard” is confusing on a smartphone
• To create a new note have to scroll to the top of the notes, please add a “+” like most other apps
